Archivebox: Question: can anon access be disabled?
I just found ArchiveBox today and will gladly scrap my homebrew archival solution. Great work!
I definitely don't want to have my archive exposed to the world, though. I need the user to be logged in befoe accessing anything. Can this be turned on? I haven't found anything like this so far.
Thanks again!

There are a few relevant options depending on how you want to configure it. For now, there is PUBLIC_INDEX & PUBLIC_SNAPSHOTS, both of which you can set to False. In the next release (0.5) which should be this week, there will be an option to also enable or disable a the add view for non-logged in users.

Thank you! Seems to work!
I can't find any docs for that. WHat happens if I disable Index but enable Snapshots? Will I be able to hotlink articles, but only logged in users will be able to search/see the list?
Is that a supported use-case?

Yes, that is a supported use case, and it should work exactly as you described.
PUBLIC_SNAPSHOTS = anon users can view hotlinked archived sites
PUBLIC_INDEX = anon users can view the full archive index
It's not in the docs yet because these config values are not stable, and will change quite soon when we refactor the permissions model.
The future design will likely be something like anon: rwx, user: rwx, admin: rwx or follow the Django standard permissions model.
