Hi all,

Per the documentation I would like to start this post with my proposed implementation for the REST API:

I propose to build a REST API for Archivebox using Django Rest Framework. This seems to be the most straight forward and actually reasonably quick to knock out since it should amount "bolt on" type work vs an entirely new implementation in something I intended to configure pagination and token based authentication and then using generics and mixins as much as possible so the barrier to entry on extending and maintaining the API is very low. One Additional feature I would like to add to the API is a threads, which allows users to topically (whereas a TAG allows sorting by kind) and organize their resources that make them more valuable to share.

First let me start by saying I am new to containers and basically know enough to orient myself but do not know anything sophisticated. My current challenge is when trying to complete step 2b to install archive box into the container passing through the data dir the container when I run:

sudo docker run -it -v $PWD/data:/data archivebox init --setup
I get the following error:

`

`

Troubleshooting notes:
Ubuntu 20.04.5, latest docker, python 3.8 is system default,
I'm running my docker commands with sudo,
I've looked around the repo for that file but I don't think it even exists.
I've made no modifications to the dockerfile other than to add DRF requirements to the project.
checked my directory permissions and they look good.
Running inside or out of the VENV has no effect.
I am running the docker build command for the TLD of the repo.

Can anyone please advise?

Can you try with 0.6.2 instead, the latest dev branch has some bugs that I need to fix.

Also are you open to considering FastAPI or other alternatives to Django Rest Framework? DRF often ends up being quite verbose with lots of validation/forms work needed.

Thanks for your interest and help here!

doing a github issue cleanup, closing this for now since it's a bit stale and I think this particular migrations issue has been fixed already.

Comment back here or on https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496 if you're working on the new API implementation and have any fresh problems
