Do y'all support archiving pages that are behind logins? Like using browser cookies?

PS. I'm an archivebox user, not a dev or maintainer.

These are legitimate gripes that have plagued specific past releases, I hear your frustration. Please keep in mind this was a solo effort of a single developer, only worked on in my spare time over the last 7 years (up until very recently). The new v0.8 adds a BG queue specifically to deal with the issue of stalling when some sites fail. There was a system to do this in the past, but it was imperfect and mostly optim…
I can accept the other issues, but archivebox needs be private and secure by default. Sending everything to archive.org is bad default value and it erodes a certain level of trust in the project. Requiring "several important changes and security considerations" just makes a non-starter. The default settings should be "safe" for the default user, because as you mentioned in that post, 90% of users are never going to c…
I've been using an instance of https://readeck.org/ for personal archives of web pages and I really like it, but I might try out ArchiveBox at some point too. I also run an instance of ArchiveTeam Warrior which is constantly uploading things to archive.org, and I like the direction ArchiveBox is heading with the distributed/federated archiving on the roadmap, so I may end up setting up an instance like that even if I…

I've been using the Single File extension to save self-contained html files of pages I want to keep for posterity. I like it because any browser can open the files it creates. Is it easy to view the archive files from readeck? I haven't looked at fancier alternatives to my existing solution. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file/
Here's an example of an Amazon "review" I recently archived that has instructions for using a USB tester I have: https://readeck.home.nfriedly.com/@b/tCngVjkSFOrCbwb9DnY2yw
And, for comparison, here's the original: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3EF0QW6MAJ0VP
It'd be nice if I could edit out the extra junk near the top, but the important bits are all there.
@nikisweeting ArchiveBox is awesome and we'd really love it to be more awesome. And sustainable! I've posted issues and PRs for showstopper issues that took months to get merged in: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/991 https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/pull/1026 You have the opportunity for the community to lean in on ArchiveBox. I understand it's hard to do everything as a solo dev, we've seen…
It's only been during the last few months that I decided to go all in on the project, so this is still just the first few pages of a new chapter in the project's history.
(I should also mention that if you're a commercial entity relying on ArchiveBox, you can hire us for dedicated support and uptime guarantees. We have a closed source fork that has a much better test suite and lots of other goodies)

Somewhat similar topic, anyone has recommendations for a self-hosted internet website change monitoring system? I’ve been running Huginn for many years and it works well; however, I have a feeling the project is on its last leg. Also, it’s based on either text scraping (XPath/CSS/HTML and rss but it struggles with newer JS-based sites.

Yes, but there's security concerns where you might accidentally leak your credentials / cookies if you publish your archive to the public. https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Security-Overv... PS. I'm an archivebox user, not a dev or maintainer.

Perhaps this data is "private" as in "personal property" and not "private" as in "confidential."
Also, how do you plan to ensure data authenticity across a distributed archive? For example, if I archive someone's blog, what is stopping me from inserting inflammatory posts that they never wrote, and passing them off as the real deal? Slight update: I see you're using TLS Notary! That's exactly what I would have suggested!
