Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1039

Hello, I would like to use archivebox and store all the data to a network share.
I thought about running archivebox directly on the network share mount but this isn't a good idea because of the sqlite database. So I want to store everything apart from the sqlite database on the network share. The sqlite database I'm going to fetch periodically from my network share.
Is there any way to edit ARCHIVE_DIR and SOURCES_DIR to point to my mounted network share?
Also do these two folders cover all the important data apart apart from the sqlite database or is there anything else I missed?
Sorry if my question is stupid. I find it difficult to make sense of archivebox.

I forgot about symlinks. That works for me.

Yeah we used to allow editing ARCHIVE_DIR and SOURCES_DIR but it's a lot of work to support having those mutable so symlinks are the best way. 👍

There's lots of details on how to run on network shares spread around the wiki too.

Well, I got a really stupid question for ya, hope you don't mind.
Same boat here, but no luck with symlink. Care to share how it's done?

Below is what I got, gives me FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/data/archive'

/media/archivebox $ ls -al
..
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root   root       27 Mar 22 18:44 archive -> /mnt/nas/archivebox/archive
..

Really appreciated any help

Battled with chown, but a restart reverts back, at the end I changed my mind and allowed it. :-)
