COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Collection: Archive Team: The Github Hitrub

This collection is a set of Github repository archives from two major sets: A panic grab upon the acquisition by Microsoft, and a larger, ongoing set of Pretty Much Everything.

Building Docker image from git source #648

AhrazA wants to merge 4 commits into github:master from AhrazA:master

AhrazA commented Sep 28, 2020

We ran into issues attempting to match the version of backup-utils with the version of GitHub Enterprise we were running. This is because the Dockerfile always pulls the version tagged as "stable", regardless of which version of the repo is checked out.

By building from the git source files, instead of downloading the current release tagged "stable", users will be able to easily select which version of the backup-utils they wish to build.

As it stands, the only way to specify a version would be to roll a custom Dockerfile that either builds from source, or pulls in a specific release tag from https://github.com/github/backup-utils/archive/.

Overall I think am ok with this approach, however two concerns come to mind:

The image size will be a bit larger, and builds will take a bit longer as Git history will get sent to the build context
This may change what folks using the Docker image are currently expecting to happen (i.e. run the stable branch).

cc: @github/backup-utils @github/ghes-infrastructure any thoughts?

I think we could just delete this entire file.

Thank you for the reply @djdefi

I made some changes that address your first comment. Also applied the same patch to the alpine Dockerfile.

Any guidance on why the macOS test might be failing? I spent some time trying to figure it out to no avail.
