Describe the bug

Version 0.6.2 is incompatible with Django 3.2. Archivebox breaks with the following exception:

ValueError: Primary key 'django.db.models.UUIDField' referred by core.apps.CoreConfig.default_auto_field must subclass AutoField.

This bug report in Django seems related.

ArchiveBox only supports Django>=3, <3.2. There are several issues with 3.2 besides this one. You'll have to downgrade to 3.1.x.

pip3 install django==3.1.9
