Archivebox: Question: ...Tagging and removing

Created on 11 Oct 2019 · 4Comments · Source: ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

Hello,

I am very happy with Archivebox. I am using it at home to archive interesting sites and plan to set it up on a raspberry pi with an attached hdd for my personal archives.

Is there a way to tag when I run :

echo 'https://stephenjones.blog/houshan-daoists/' | env OUTPUT_DIR="/media/arnauld/DATA/archivbox" ONLY_NEW=True ./archive

Also, how can I remove a link which is archived locally?

Thank you.

As far as I understand, simply delete the folder you dont want, in the output folder?
EDIT: Nearly. https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/wiki/Usage under Disk Layout
you will find your answer. :)

Thank you @dataarchivist , I was expecting something like a command to erase an archived site...

Shure you can rm it, but due the fact that we have an index, its mostly not just a command.
I think its its easier in the great next update.

Removal command is already present in v0.4, see here for usage: https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/wiki/Roadmap#-archivebox-remove

You can check it out early to beta test it but the official public release is still pending. Follow this PR for progress updates https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/pull/207
