How to Install ArchiveBox Software using Docker

After installing Docker, create a directory for ArchiveBox and download the docker-compose.yml file in it:

$ mkdir ~/archivebox && cd ~/archivebox

$ docker run -v $PWD:/data -it archivebox/archivebox init --setup

Run the initial setup and create an admin user by running the following command:

$ docker-compose run archivebox init --setup

Finally, start the ArchiveBox Docker instance using command:

$ docker run -v $PWD:/data -p 8000:8000 archivebox/archivebox

Now you can login to ArchiveBox admin Web UI dashboard from URL http://127.0.0.1:8000.

Logging into the Web UI is completely optional. You can do everything from commandline as well.
