Building a Personal Archive with Hoarder

  • btw the hoarder project is an active victim of a patent troll[0][1]; the official Firefox extension is currently blocked by dmca[2]. any donations might be helpful.

  • Set this up a couple weeks using an proxmox lxc script and have it using ollama to create tags. I hadn’t heard of singlefile before. That seems like an excellent pairing.

  • Thoughts on this vs something like ArchiveBox?

  • Talking about hoarding, LTO tapes are the king of cheap storage, but if you want to archive significant amounts (hundreds of TB or more), it takes a significant investment to buy a tape library with somewhat recent drive. Too bad there aren't any alternatives - or are there?

  • Didn't realize Hoarder now supports SingleFile extension. amazing.

    Regarding Hoarder - by selfhosting Hoarder , I was able to cancel my $40/year subscription to Pocket. With the money saved - I added $10 of OpenAI's API credits and use gpt-4o-mini for tagging. I don't have a powerful enough GPU to selfhost Ollama on my NAS where I'm hosting Hoarder. But gpt-4o-mini is dirt cheap for these type of use cases.

  • Worth noting that Linkding (what the author migrated from to Hoarder) also now supports page archiving via headless Chrome + SingleFile and also via manual upload: https://linkding.link/archiving/

  • Can Hoarder archive a webpage protected by some kind of auth / login?
