How can I help?

Run this software in a VM:

https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior

It appears to make you into a sort of node that backups up a share of reddit and sends a copy to a group that's archiving all of reddit.

Too bad they don’t support running on ARM.

> Can I run the Warrior on ARM or some other unusual architecture?

> No, currently we do not allow ARM (used on Raspberry Pi and M1 Macs) or other non-x86 architectures. This is because we have previously discovered questionable practices in the Wget archive-creating components and are not confident it runs under different endiannesses etc. If you still want to run it apparently Docker can emulate x86_64.

Oh, I was downloading the container on my pi right now. Thanks for the hint.

[Starmina → lom]

There's no ARM Docker build, unfortunately.

[siffin → codetrotter]

I'm sure most arm64 is difficult to get up and running, but on my M2 I used colima to do the x86_64 emulation, then just ran the docker container.

colima start --profile amd64 -a x86_64 -c 4 -m 6

[codetrotter → siffin]

I was hoping to run it on one of my Raspberry Pi. I doubt that x86_64 emulation for the container on RPi would be worth it, if it is even possible to do.

[electroly → codetrotter]

Hmmm... endianness? Would've been nice for them to provide an example that actually applies to ARM instead of leaving that under "etc."

Here is more context: https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/warrior-dockerfile/issues/56 ( ARM support #56 - Apr 16, 2021 - 27 comments )

[fsflover → arcanemachiner]

I'm using Qubes OS. I wonder why I can't simply run some application and instead have to install and manage Docker for that. I care about my security myself.

[FastEatSlow → fsflover]

They mention this in their docs: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior#W...?

For those who favour Docker - you can do this:

docker run --name archiveteam --label=com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true --restart=unless-stopped atdr.meo.ws/archiveteam/reddit-grab --concurrent 1 [username]

[sph → bjpirt]

Works as is on podman as well. Add -d to run it in background.

[susanthenerd → mozman]

Just reading the reddit post I linked gives enough information on how to do it.
