Got it in the meantime… I'm brainstorming about a project for archiving online map projects, interested/any pointers?

(Archiving online maps may mean anything from a trivial wget up to capturing & re-play of Google Maps interaction…)

picking up this project again… are you aware of a solution serving up WARCs to access them w/ normal browsers through http://localhost/ ? (Digging around webrecorder source RN, but cannot find simple out-of-the-box solution…)

Thanks - still works perfectly! (Presumably superseded by https://github.com/webrecorder/webrecorder … , but I can't find the entry point for running a simple server in that monolith RN :\ )

It says https://github.com/webrecorder/webrecorderplayer-electron … superseded it but electron... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, for viewing absolutely, but I dug around in the source and it internally launches the webrecorder main binary in a separate process to serve up the pages. The build instructions also say you need to download that binary, but it's all kinda undocumented...

If you're just looking for to run a server locally, then you want pywb: http://pywb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Will start server on localhost Webrecorder Player focuses on providing a binary desktop app (as did WebArchivePlayer) Suggestions for improvements to docs always welcome :)

OK I looked into pywb, but I don't get how to serve up a simple flat directory of WARC's (e.g. https://gitlab.com/Hannes42/btw17maps …) - I looked into config.yaml docs, but don't seem to get the fundamental paradigm of dir layout etc. :\
