Hi, moving this into it's own issue for better tracking and to keep the other one kinda on topic.

Hi, sorry but th dev image still doesn't work as you suggest. When I try to run it in a new and completely empty folder the init fails:

[user@PC-001 tmp]$ mkdir test
[user@PC-001 tmp]$ cd test
[user@PC-001 test]$ docker pull archivebox/archivebox:dev

[X] This folder appears to already have files in it, but no index.sqlite3 present.

    You must run init in a completely empty directory, or an existing data folder.

    Hint: To import an existing data folder make sure to cd into the folder first, 
    then run and run 'archivebox init' to pick up where you left off.

    (Always make sure your data folder is backed up first before updating ArchiveBox)

It however works when I first do docker run -it -v "$PWD:/data" archivebox/archivebox:latest init before running docker run -it -v "$PWD:/data" archivebox/archivebox:dev init.

Edit: After creating this ticket I noticed that I didn't run init with the --setup argument. So I now retested with it but it causes the same error and doesn't properly init.

docker run -it -v "$PWD:/data" archivebox/archivebox:dev version shows a few binaries as not found, missing, or invalid. namely:

puppeteer
postlight-parser
readability-extractor
single-file
CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR
LIB_DIR

Yup, there is no need for --setup anymore in Docker! That's one of the benefits of the new version, it comes with all the dependencies now (though it's designed such that you could still swap in your own if you prefer some other version over the bundled ones).

I will update the docs once it's released. In the meantime I've added a patch so those errors don't show in case people run it with --setup out of habit.
