ArchiveBox

A personal web archiving tool that snapshots pages in multiple formats (HTML, PDF, screenshot, WARC). Standout trait is its multi-format redundant archival approach for link-rot prevention.

βš™ Full Stack

Python/Django application orchestrating headless Chrome, wget, and youtube-dl style extractors, indexing results in SQLite while storing archived snapshots as files on disk in a growing archive directory.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

Not built for horizontal scale β€” it's a single-node archiving pipeline bottlenecked by disk I/O and headless-browser CPU cost, and the SQLite index doesn't support concurrent writers well under heavy parallel archiving jobs.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

Single pod with a large persistent volume for the archive directory β€” storage grows unbounded with usage, so plan volume sizing accordingly; headless Chrome inside the container needs generous CPU/memory limits.
