Ok so I like this project BUT I use mainly windows7, dock and WSL don't work so are there any option to run it? or maybe android could run it? if so I could set up smth like this:

  • config android firefox to sync history and use archivebox from android phone/second device so it can run in the background without manual VR linux every now and then?
    If android could run it what should i read/find? did someone already tried it?

You can't use docker for windows? https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/

Unfortunately, I'm not planning on supporting Windows/Android natively anytime soon.

I wish but it works ONLY on windows 10, nothing else and as u know it, windows 10 is one big spy OS
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/

What to know before you install
System Requirements

Windows 10 64-bit: Pro, Enterprise, or Education (Build 15063 or later).
Hyper-V and Containers Windows features must be enabled.

The following hardware prerequisites are required to successfully run Client Hyper-V on Windows 10:
    64 bit processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
    4GB system RAM
    BIOS-level hardware virtualization support must be enabled in the BIOS settings. For more information, see Virtualization.

thats kind of bad, should there be anyway to emulate it on android?

Meh, if you want to implement it, go ahead, but given my limited time available to work on this project I'm not going to invest it into Android/Windows support, and especially not older versions of Windows or Android.

Keep in mind it requires a full instance of Google Chrome headless, wget, curl, git, and youtube-dl in order to get all the features, good luck getting all those working consistently on Windows/Android.
