ArchiveBox Hosting

Open your pod URL and follow the web setup wizard if it appears. The administrator area is available at /admin/; create the first administrator there if no account has been set up. Then add a public URL and inspect the resulting snapshot. See the ArchiveBox setup and usage guide.

No. PikaPods sets up and runs ArchiveBox for you, including OS and app updates and HTTPS. You won't touch Docker or a server. Your files and database stay accessible if you ever want to move them elsewhere.

Open your pod URL in a browser to browse and manage the archive. The usage guide also describes browser-extension and API options; check their requirements before connecting a client.

No. Some sites block automated access or require authentication, and interactive pages may not reproduce completely. Start with public pages and verify the outputs you need. A paid website account does not automatically make its content accessible to your pod; see the project’s limitations and security notes.

Set up incremental backups to S3 in your pod settings for automatic nightly snapshots, or download your files and database yourself. We keep whole-server backups for server failures, but they aren't a per-pod restore service, so your own backup is what protects your data.

You can use ArchiveBox instead of Raindrop.io and Pinboard. PikaPods runs it for you, and you can move your files and database elsewhere.

Raindrop.io is a hosted bookmark manager with collections and apps, and it offers permanent copies as a paid feature. ArchiveBox concentrates on preservation, saving each page in several formats as ordinary files on your pod. It has fewer organizing tools, so some people pair it with a bookmark manager.

No. You add prepaid credit and your pods are billed by the hour from that balance, rounded up to full hours. There are no contracts or minimum terms: delete a pod anytime and billing stops. Optional automatic top-ups keep your pods running without manual payments.

You do. And you're in full control. If you ever want to download, migrate, edit or delete your data, just enable file and database access for your pod and it will be right there.
