Installation Guide

SCALE App

App Configuration > Admin Username & Admin Password Configure an initial admin username and password you want to log in with in the Web UI (only applied on first setup run).
Networking and Services > Service's Port(s) Configuration > Port Configure the port you want to access the ArchiveBox web interface on, or use the pre-populated default.
Storage and Persistence > App Data Storage Setup persistent a persistent storage volume to use for your ArchiveBox /data directory. We recommend using a Host Path with Automatic Permissions Configuration disabled. ^{Make sure whatever filesystem the data is located on supports FSYNC and doesn’t squash permissions.} ^{(NFS servers may need to set no_root_squash + no_all_squash)} For more info about ArchiveBox’s filesystem requirements, see here:
- ArchiveBox Filesystem Requirements
- ArchiveBox Troubleshooting: Filesystems, NFS, FSYNC
- ArchiveBox Issue #742 (example of common filesystem issue with NFS)
Containers > Main Container > Extra Environment Variables (optional) Optionally add any other ArchiveBox Configuration variables you want here.

✅ Then click Install at the bottom, and wait a few minutes for it to finish deploying.
Once deployed, click Applications > ArchiveBox > Web Portal to access ArchiveBox . Click the Log In (upper right) and proceed with the admin username and password you configured above. Optionally change your password from the initial value by going to Account in the navbar (/admin/password_change/). Click Add in the menubar to get started adding new URLs to archive.
