More information about the archiving project can be found on the ArchiveTeam wiki: Imgur
Data integrity is very important in Archive Team projects. Please note the following important rules:
- Do not use proxies or VPNs.
- Run the project using the either the Warrior or the project-specific Docker container as listed below. Do not modify project code. Compiling the project dependencies yourself is no longer supported.
- You can share your tracker nickname(s) across machine(s) you personally operate, but not with machines operated by other users. Nickname sharing makes it harder to inspect data if a problem arises.
- Use clean internet connections.
- Only x64-based machines are supported. ARM (used on Raspberry Pi and Apple Silicon Macs) is not currently supported.
- See the Archive Team Wiki for additional information.
We strongly encourage you to join the IRC channel associated with this project in order to be informed about project updates and other important announcements, as well as to be reachable in the event of an issue. The Archive Team Wiki has more information about IRC. We can be found at hackint IRC #imgone.
If you have any questions or issues during setup, please review the wiki pages or contact us on IRC for troubleshooting information.
This and other archiving projects can easily be run using the Archive Team Warrior virtual machine. Follow the instructions on the Archive Team wiki for installing the Warrior, and from the web interface running at http://localhost:8001/, enter the nickname that you want to be shown as on the tracker. There is no registration, just pick a nickname you like. Then, select the Imgur project in the Warrior interface.
Alternatively, more advanced users can also run projects using Docker. While users of the Warrior can switch between projects using a web interface, Docker containers are specific to each project. However, while the Warrior supports a maximum of 6 concurrent items, a Docker container supports a maximum of 20 concurrent items. The instructions below are a short overview. For more information and detailed explanations of the commands, follow the follow the Docker instructions on the Archive Team wiki.
It is advised to use Watchtower to automatically update the project container:
docker run -d --name watchtower --restart=unless-stopped -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock containrrr/watchtower --label-enable --cleanup --interval 3600 --include-restarting
after which the project container can be run:
docker run -d --name archiveteam --label=com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true --log-driver json-file --log-opt max-size=50m --restart=unless-stopped atdr.meo.ws/archiveteam/imgur-grab --concurrent 1 YOURNICKHERE
Be sure to replace YOURNICKHERE with the nickname that you want to be shown as on the tracker. There is no registration, just pick a nickname you like.
Behind the scenes Archive Team has infrastructure to run the projects and process the data with. If you would like to help out with the costs of our infrastructure, a donation on our Open Collective would be very welcome.
If you notice a bug and want to file a bug report, please use the GitHub issues tracker.
