What to do when an ArchiveBot job crashes or is aborted on your pipeline and you need to manually upload the job's associated log file to FOS

When you have to manually kill an ArchiveBot web scraping job on one of your pipeline servers, or if the job crashes on its own, the incomplete WARC files do usually move over to FOS, but the log.gz file does not. You have to manually find the proper file, rename it in just the right way, and then rsync it yourself.

  1. Make a note somewhere of the job id of the stuck job, such as aqz8ac6ar202mulnvn8xpzv3f. Also make note of the way the WARC's and JSON's are named, such as www.gog.com-inf-20180603-063227-aqz8a.json Note that the first five letters of the job id are the last five letters of the filename. (The log files do not follow the same naming convention.)

  2. Kill-9 the stuck job.

  3. Watch the ArchiveBot dashboard to make sure the incomplete WARC and JSON files do indeed upload to FOS and the job is done.

  4. Go into the ~/ArchiveBot/pipeline/ directory. Look at the various blahblahblah.log.gz files in there. It is probably impossible to tell just by looking which of these log files correspo

How to generate a Twitter user's unique tweet URL's, and then feed them into ArchiveBot to be saved

Set up Tweep

  1. Download the file tweep.py from GitHub - https://github.com/haccer/tweep

  2. Put it in a brand new folder. Let's call the folder "Tweep". So the full path here would be, as an example, /Users/asparagirl/Desktop/Tweep

  3. Add a folder inside of that one called tmp. So the full path here would be, as an example, /Users/asparagirl/Desktop/Tweep/tmp

  4. Edit tweep.py slightly to add logging and stop it from getting images from tweets. The top of the file should be edited to look like this:

root@archiveteam-to-the-rescue:~# lsof
COMMAND PID TID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
systemd 1 root cwd DIR 253,1 4096 2 /

Have a WARC that you would like to upload to the Internet Archive so that it can eventually be included in their Wayback Machine? Here's how to upload it from the command line.

Do you have a WARC file of a website all downloaded and ready to be added to the Internet Archive? Great! You can do that with the Internet Archive's web-based uploader, but it's not ideal and it can't handle really big uploads. Here's how you can upload your WARC files to the IA from the command line, and without worrying about a size restriction.

First, you need to get your Access Key and Secret Key from the Internet Archive for the S3-like API. Here's where you can get that for your IA account: http://archive.org/account/s3.php Don't share those with other people!

Here's their documentation file about how to use it, if you need some extra help: http://archive.org/help/abouts3.txt

Next, you should copy the following files to a text file and edit them as needed:

export IA_S3_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR-ACCESS-KEY-FROM-THE-IA-GOES-HERE"
