Yaaaah I know, I'm still in the process of moving my home server from NY to MTL and my archive data is still sitting on a hard drive in my room. I'll finish setting it up at some point...

The demo site presents a login page. Was trying to guess the username password (demo/demo?). Is it still out of order?

Ok it's sort of up but not really working properly https://archive.sweeting.me nvm it's still hella broken, I'll fix it eventually. It's just a pain because my archive is like 32GB at this point so every time I try to set it up I have to wait like an hour for the files to transfer around.

@pirate The current demo domain (https://archivebox.zervice.io/) doesn't have an A record associated with it so it's currently inaccessible.

It doesn't use A-records, it uses automatically provisioned CNAME & SSL records when the cloudflare argo tunnel is active. When I do server maintenance it goes offline and automatically comes up later after reboots and such. It should be up now but in general I'd only expect ~90% uptime from that server as I use is as my scratchbox for tons of other projects.

Yeah there's a power outage at my house right now that's outlasting our UPS batteries.

Yes, I will fix it eventually, no need to post here when it goes down. I have my own monitoring and it's not a 100% uptime guarantee service, it's my personal home server and lives and dies at my whims.

From my perspective it was never up in the first place. I got a note from you that seemed to suggest it had been fixed so I checked it out only to see it was still down. Sorry if you found this annoying, but I was trying to share information about this service (which I just learned about) with other people and it is hard to do that if there is no working demo...

No worries, thank you for posting and sorry for the cranky tone, I'm mostly commenting so future ppl coming to the ticket see it. I understand a working demo is important, but in the grand scheme of things I'm ok losing a few potential users in exchange for the convenience, flexibility, and cheap storage/power costs of keeping the demo on my home server and not stressing about keeping it up 100% of the time.

We will eventually have a separate cloud-hosted demo server independent from my personal sandbox with better uptime, but probably not this year.
