Creates .WACZ archives of web pages using the `browsertrix-crawler` tool, with options for media extraction and screenshot saving.
|
||||
[Browsertrix-crawler](https://crawler.docs.browsertrix.com/user-guide/) is a headless browser-based crawler that archives web pages in WACZ format.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
**Docker**
|
||||
If you are using the Docker file to run Auto Archiver (recommended), then everything is set up and you can use WACZ out of the box!
|
||||
Otherwise, if you are using a local install of Auto Archiver (e.g. pip or dev install), then you will need to install Docker and run
|
||||
the docker daemon to be able to run the `browsertrix-crawler` tool.
|
||||
|
||||
**Browsertrix Profiles**
|
||||
A browsertrix profile is a custom browser profile (login information, browser extensions, etc.) that can be used to archive private or dynamic content.
|
||||
You can run the WACZ Enricher without a profile, but for more resilient archiving, it is recommended to create a profile. See the [Browsertrix documentation](https://crawler.docs.browsertrix.com/user-guide/browser-profiles/)
|
||||
for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
** Docker in Docker **
|
||||
If you are running Auto Archiver within a Docker container, you will need to enable Docker in Docker to run the `browsertrix-crawler` tool.
|
||||
This can be done by setting the `WACZ_ENABLE_DOCKER` environment variable to `1`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
- Archives web pages into .WACZ format using Docker or direct invocation of `browsertrix-crawler`.
|
||||
- Supports custom profiles for archiving private or dynamic content.
|
||||
- Extracts media (images, videos, audio) and screenshots from the archive, optionally adding them to the enrichment pipeline.
|
||||
- Generates metadata from the archived page's content and structure (e.g., titles, text).
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup

||||
|
||||
### Using Docker
|
||||
If you are using the Auto Archiver [Docker image](https://auto-archiver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/installation.html#installing-with-docker)
|
||||
to run Auto Archiver (recommended), then everything is set up and you can use WACZ out of the box!
|
||||
Otherwise, if you are using a local install of Auto Archiver (e.g. pip or dev install), then you will need to install Docker and run
|
||||
the docker daemon to be able to run the `browsertrix-crawler` tool.
|
||||
|
||||
### Browsertrix Profiles
|
||||
A browsertrix profile is a custom browser profile (login information, browser extensions, etc.) that can be used to archive private or dynamic content.
|
||||
You can run the WACZ Enricher without a profile, but for more resilient archiving, it is recommended to create a profile.
|
||||
See the [Browsertrix documentation](https://crawler.docs.browsertrix.com/user-guide/browser-profiles/) for more information on how to use the `create-login-profile` tool.
