Describe the bug

Since about a month, singlefile and other Chrome-based extractors don't work anymore.

Steps to reproduce

Enter a url into the add interface or try to pull any snapshot. My config:

[SERVER_CONFIG]
SECRET_KEY = REDACTED
PUBLIC_INDEX = False
PUBLIC_SNAPSHOTS = False
PUBLIC_ADD_VIEW = False
SAVE_FAVICON = False
SAVE_ARCHIVE_DOT_ORG = False
SAVE_WGET = False
SAVE_WARC = False
SAVE_PDF = False
SAVE_SCREENSHOT = False
SAVE_MEDIA = False
SAVE_DOM = False
SAVE_GIT = False
CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR = /data/chromium-profile
CHROME_SANDBOX = True
CHROME_HEADLESS = True

I also tried to enable user namespace cloning in my host system as recommended in the puppeteer docs that are linked in the logs that I pasted below. Also, I tried the second method from there (Setup setuid sandbox) within the container but I could not get that to work as well…

Screenshots or log output

Can you try again with the latest build, I bumped the chrome version and pushed a few other minor fixes.

Same issue here. Unfortunately this is preventing us from using this in production internally, and don't want to exactly run a dev build.

I'm almost ready to roll a minor patches release from dev -> main https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/pull/1297. If you're able to verify it works on your machine I can get the release out by new years.

Chrome archiving works on my test machines and I cant reproduce this reported issue on the 0.7.2 candidate, so it would be super helpful to get bug reports from anyone who's experiencing failures so can make sure 0.7.2 works for everyone.

Namespace cloning or suid sandboxing should not be necessary within Docker, it should "just work" on the first try with our new playwright-based chrome distribution 😕

I would have liked to test it locally but I am not able to build the Docker container in my local environment following those steps: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox#setup-the-dev-environment

It fails at docker build. First it failed because there was a , missing in parse_version_string which was easily fixable.
Then it failed because it couldn't find VERSIONS_AVAILABLE probably because no release exists (?). How can I circumvent that error?

First it failed because there was a `,` missing in `parse_version_string` which was easily fixable. Then it failed because it couldn't find `VERSIONS_AVAILABLE` probably because no release exists (?). How can I circumvent that error? log: ``` # DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build . -t archivebox [+] Building 79.6s (26/27) => [internal] load build definition from Dockerfile 6.2s => => transferring dockerfile: 37B 0.0s => [internal] load .dockerignore 4.6s => => transferring context: 35B 0.1s => [internal] load metadata for docker.io/library/python:3.11-slim-bookworm 0.0s => [stage-0 1/23] FROM docker.io/library/python:3.11-slim-bookworm 0.0s => [internal] load build context 2.6s => => transferring context: 95.13kB 0.2s => CACHED [stage-0 2/23] COPY --chown=root:root --chmod=755 package.json /app/ 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 3/23] RUN grep '"version": ' "/app/package.json" | awk -F'"' '{print $4}' > /VERSION.txt 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 4/23] RUN echo 'Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/keep-cache && rm -f /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/docker-clean 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 5/23] RUN (echo "[i] Docker build for ArchiveBox $(cat /VERSION.txt) starting..." && echo "PLATFORM=linux/amd64 ARCH=$(uname -m) ($(uname -s) amd64 )" && echo "BUILD_START_TIME=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 6/23] RUN echo "[*] Setting up archivebox user uid=911..." && groupadd --system archivebox && useradd --system --create-home --gid archivebox --groups audio,video archivebox && usermod -u "911" "a 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 7/23] RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/var/cache/apt,sharing=locked,id=apt-amd64 echo "[+] Installing APT base system dependencies for linux/amd64..." && echo 'deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 8/23] RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/var/cache/apt,sharing=locked,id=apt-amd64 --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.npm,sharing=locked,id=npm-amd64 echo "[+] Installing Node 21 environment in /app/node_module 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 9/23] RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/var/cache/apt,sharing=locked,id=apt-amd64 --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pip,sharing=locked,id=pip-amd64 echo "[+] Setting up Python 3.11 runtime..." && ( 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 10/23] RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/var/cache/apt,sharing=locked,id=apt-amd64 --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pip,sharing=locked,id=pip-amd64 echo "[+] Installing APT extractor dependencies global 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 11/23] RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/var/cache/apt,sharing=locked,id=apt-amd64 --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pip,sharing=locked,id=pip-amd64 --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/ms-playwright,shari 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 12/23] WORKDIR /app 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 13/23] COPY --chown=root:root --chmod=755 package.json package-lock.json /app/ 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 14/23] RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.npm,sharing=locked,id=npm-amd64 echo "[+] Installing NPM extractor dependencies from package.json into /app/node_modules..." && npm ci --prefer-offline --no- 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 15/23] WORKDIR /app 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 16/23] COPY --chown=root:root --chmod=755 ./pyproject.toml requirements.txt /app/ 0.0s => CACHED [stage-0 17/23] RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/var/cache/apt,sharing=locked,id=apt-amd64 --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pip,sharing=locked,id=pip-amd64 echo "[+] Installing PIP ArchiveBox dependencies from 0.0s => [stage-0 18/23] COPY --chown=root:root --chmod=755 . /app/ 6.1s => [stage-0 19/23] RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/var/cache/apt,sharing=locked,id=apt-amd64 --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pip,sharing=locked,id=pip-amd64 echo "[*] Installing PIP ArchiveBox package from /app..." 27.3s => [stage-0 20/23] WORKDIR /data 7.5s => [stage-0 21/23] RUN (echo -e "\n\n[√] Finished Docker build succesfully.

Sorry whoops, there a broken commit on dev when you tested, just fixed it. I just pushed the latest working build, mind trying again?

(No need to build locally, just pull docker pull archivebox/archivebox:dev to get the dev image pre-built from Docker Hub)

Thank you for fixing the image.
I pulled it but it seems that it still doesn't work. This is what is output in the errors.log when I add a website with just SingleFile selected:

Exception in archive_methods.save_singlefile(Link(url=https://docs.archivebox.io/en/v0.6.2/Contents.html#)) command=/usr/local/bin/archivebox server --quick-init 0.0.0.0:8000; ts=2024-01-03__03:36:59

Also, it looks like the formatting where the tags, pull, snapshot, etc. buttons are is broken:

I've upgraded singlefile in 0.7.2 and fixed a few small bugs. Can you try on the latest version with archivebox config --set DEBUG=True @MyNameIsOka and let me know if SingleFile is still failing?

You should get more output if you save a specific link you know is broken with only singlefile like so:

docker compose run archivebox add --extract=singlefile 'https://docs.archivebox.io/en/v0.6.2/Contents.html#'

Thank you for the update. I installed the newest version by repulling archivebox/archivebox (not dev). Here is an excerpt from the logs when I did a re-snapshot of a website:

After that, I ran archivebox setup but the logs were the same afterwards.
However, it seems that chromium could not be installed correctly. Here is the output from archivebox setup:

@pirate commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2024):

In docker you don't need to run archivebox setup, as it already comes with everything pre-installed.

I think it should be CHROME_BINARY=/usr/bin/chromium-browser not chromium. Singlefile depends on a compatible chromium to work, so it will break if you're seeing this:

[!] Warning: Missing 1 recommended dependencies
    ! CHROME_BINARY: chromium (unable to detect version)

Can you set archivebox config --set CHROME_BINARY=/usr/bin/chromium-browser and try again?

Check to make sure it shows a valid version number for CHROME_BINARY in the archivebox version output.
