Web Archive

showcase

Web Archive is a free web archiving and sharing service based on Cloudflare, including the following parts:

  • Browser plugin: Save the webpage as a single html file and upload it to the server.
  • Server: Receive the html file uploaded by the browser plugin and store it in the database and storage bucket.
  • Web client: Query the html file and display it.

The server is based on the full set of services of Cloudflare Worker, including D1 database and R2 storage bucket.

Why

Most web archiving tools, like archivebox, are based on server-side calls to headless browsers to capture pages.
This approach has the following drawbacks:

  • It is difficult to archive websites that require login, such as zhihu and Medium, as they need to configure tokens or cookies.
  • Headless browsers require higher server requirements, and most users are nas users. Web Archive is a completely free and zero-threshold solution, and Cloudflare can easily migrate the data back to the local host after self-hosting.

Feat & Roadmap

  • Folder classification
  • Page preview image
  • Title keyword search
  • Showcase, share the pages you captured
  • Mobile support
  • Tag classification system
  • Save the page as markdown

Deploy Guide

Github Actions (Recommended)

Deploy to Cloudflare Workers

Click the button above, follow the instructions of Cloudflare to complete the deployment.

Important

R2 storage bucket is a feature that needs to be manually enabled in the Cloudflare panel, please enable it before deployment or re-run Github Actions after failure. You only need to enable the R2 feature, no need to create a storage bucket, the storage bucket will be created automatically during deployment.

Note

When creating a token, select the Edit Cloudflare Workers template directly, and then manually add the D1 Edit permission.

permissions

Once deployed, please login as soon as possible, the first user to login will be set as the administrator.

Command Deploy

Requires the local installation of the node environment.
Updating during command deployment is more troublesome, it is recommended to use Github actions for deployment.
