ArchiveBot
Coders, I have a question.
Or, a request, etc.
I spent some time with xmc discussing something we could
do to make things easier around here.
What we came up with is a trigger for a bot, which can
be triggered by people with ops.
You tell it a website. It crawls it. WARC. Uploads it to
archive.org. Boom.
I can supply machine as needed.
Obviously there's some sanitation issues, and it is root
all the way down or nothing.
I think that would help a lot for smaller sites
Sites where it's 100 pages or 1000 pages even, pretty
simple.
And just being able to go "bot, get a sanity dump" -
More info
ArchiveBot has two major backend components: the control node, which
runs the IRC interface and bookkeeping programs, and the crawlers, which
do all the Web crawling. ArchiveBot users communicate with ArchiveBot
by issuing commands in an IRC channel.
User's guide: http://archivebot.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
Control node installation guide: INSTALL.backend
Crawler installation guide: INSTALL.pipeline
- Local use
ArchiveBot was originally written as a set of separate programs for
deployment on a server. This means it has a poor distribution story.
However, Ivan Kozik (@ivan) has taken the ArchiveBot pipeline,
dashboard, ignores, and control system and created a package intended for
personal use. You can find it at https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/grab-site.

The memory hole of the Web has gone too far.
Don't look down, never look away; ArchiveBot's like the wind.
