Comment on ArchiveBox or similar for shared archiving of research project
Stopwatch1986@lemmy.ml 2 days agoA wiki is a good idea. Putting a Singlefile or similar all-in-one file in a repository and provide index numbers organised as a look-up table would also work for easy retrieval by a random research user. Both require some admin and more effort from the researchers.
I wish there was a hostable version of archive.is for near-zero maintenance. You just submit a URL over the internet and the web page is cached once along with a screenshot. Then, anyone can access the archived version. This can be done already with archive.is but we have no control over its future, which is critical for long-term dependable archiving.
Did a little digging this morning. I honestly can’t find a selfhosted, archive.is alternative. All the solutions I came up with are either paid for and online use only, or free, but still online use only.

Thanks for doingthe digging. An archivist may know something more. Or the archive.is people.
It might be worthwhile to run your scenario by the folks at lemmy.world/c/datahoarder
