You can run an Archive Team container on your computer! It'll help crawl the web and putting stuff into archive.org, based on the current projects.

You don't have to be super technical to do this, but a little computer skill will help you out.

Walkthrough below the cut (tl;dr docker compose + this config, or a vm from here):

also it's using links fetched from other archived public webpages (as opposed to guessing all imgur urls), so its less likely to pick up anyone's secret images they don't wish to be archived

if you missed it, imgur got bought out and announced that they'll be deleting old images and also any NSFW content starting May 15

...

EDIT: if you feel adventurous and want to spin up some freebie cloud machines to do more archival, here's some free trials from cloud providers:

(not affiliated, just want to enable you to go make a bunch of extra archivers if you want)

(i'm not affiliated with the cloud services, put those there so you can whip up as many archivers as you wanna)

It's a little more lightweight / faster, plus watchtower updates are nice.

I mainly used docker since I already have some containers running on my closet server, but didn't already have virtualbox installed

both are reasonable choices!

in reply to @catball's post:

I ended up downloading the .ova, extracting the .vmdk from it (by renaming it to .7z and extracting it lol), and then converting it to .vhdx using qemu-image! runs perfectly under hyper-v, albeit as a gen 1 vm only.

The container only seemed to support amd64 when I tried on my oracle freebie. :( Is there an easy way to modify the base image to run on arm64? I'm honestly that that experienced with docker!
