The legacy Web gives us the familiar addressing system. Let's use it. However, data should be available as long as possible.
- Save web page by URL to local MiceWeb library, stored in IPFS MFS.
- Support following URL schemes:
http
,https
,gopher
,gemini
,ftp
,ftps
,ipfs
,ipns
,git
. - Share saved versions.
-
Open a terminal and run
git clone https://github.com/Robotizing/MiceWeb && MiceWeb/install.sh
(also, there isupdate.sh
available). -
Optionally, install wget, curl, gemget, jq, yq, htmlq, torsocks, Wayback Machine Downloader, yt-dlp, ffmpeg and ffprobe, and also ZeroNet.
-
Install WSL, Cygwin, Git Bash, or some other tool that enables Bash functionality in Windows.
-
Follow the above section.
Open a terminal and run miceweb help
to get acquainted.
miceweb http://example.com
miceweb urls
Run miceweb commands
to see the possibilities.
miceweb save http://www.example.com/page.htm
miceweb save urls collection.txt
miceweb save urls "$HOME/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/Bookmarks" --format=json
miceweb present http://www.example.com/page.htm
miceweb present urls collection.txt --grep=stackoverflow.com
The target is to create portable tool, not spending many resources to support different platforms, so using Bash seems a good solution. See also testssl.sh Coding Style to get into the spirit.
IPFS Reprovider.Strategy determines privacy level: run ipfs config Reprovider.Strategy pinned
to make the MiceWeb library private, or run ipfs config Reprovider.Strategy all
to open the MiceWeb library to the world.
It's possible to have several libraries on a single machine by running several ipfs nodes.
MiceWeb uses ZERONET_PATH
environment variable to work with ZeroNet.
Run miceweb talks
, and welcome to MiceWeb Talks.
MiceWeb tries to do best to save web pages. However, you still have to check saved snapshots of important pages.
Construct RatBrowser to save browser-generated pages.
