archive-fandom-wiki

• Installation
• Usage
• Podman/Docker

This program archives the content of fandom wikis. It doesn't scrape from the fandom.com wiki sites directly; rather, it uses my BreezeWiki instance to avoid downloading unnecessary ads, images, and other junk.

Each resulting archive is self-contained, meaning one can extract the contents and browse the wiki snapshot locally (offline). The URLs for CSS, images, and links in each page are replaced by the relative file:/// URLs for their corresponding pages on the local filesystem.

Installation

Make sure Python and Pip are installed. Then run:

git clone https://codeberg.org/hyperreal/archive-fandom-wiki.git
cd archive-fandom-wiki
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

If not using venv:

pip install --user -r requirements.txt
ln -sf "$(pwd)/afw.py" ~/.local/bin/afw

Usage

One may specify the BreezeWiki instance URL, or the default value (my BreezeWiki instance URL) will be used.

afw dishonored https://breezewiki.instance.url
afw dishonored

Podman/Docker

There is also a Containerfile, also known as a Dockerfile.
