ArchiveBox is undergoing significant changes, with new features on the horizon for self-hosting internet archives. In light of recent attacks on Archive.org, ArchiveBox has gained attention as people seek to self-host their own archives. The platform supports Archive.org’s mission to preserve human knowledge but acknowledges the risk of being targeted for suppression or legal action. They envision a future with both a centralized Archive.org archive and decentralized ArchiveBox.io instances. The introduction of a new plugin ecosystem in ArchiveBox v0.8 promises community-supported features like video and photo downloads, article text extraction, and more. The platform aims to adapt to modern web needs by providing solutions for archiving private and semi-private content.
