The popular wiki.bash-hackers.org had its DNS expire in April 2023, with the owner seemingly being incommunicado. It looked like this domain would be in the region of €1k to purchase - ouch.
Fortunately, archive.org has snapshotted this website, and so we can extract wiki.bash-hackers.org from archive.org's Wayback Machine.
Additionally, the web server behind wiki.bash-hackers.org is still running, for now, so we can use an entry in our `hosts` file (`/etc/hosts` on *nix, `c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts` on Windows) that reads:
Update: The web server behind wiki.bash-hackers.org is still running, for now, so we can use an entry in our `hosts` file (`/etc/hosts` on *nix, `c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts` on Windows) that reads:

This repo is targeting pages that have been captured by the Wayback Machine that specifically have `?do=edit` on the end of their URL. These pages give us the Dokuwiki Markup source, relatively unmolested - maybe with a bit of errant html to strip. We then convert the original source to GitHub markdown.
There is also a pastebin.bash-hackers.org at the same site.
In addition, it looks like the owner is [trying to sort it out](https://www.reddit.com/r/bash/comments/12klulf/bashhackersorg_is_now_a_parking_domain/jj6xx1s/)! Stay tuned!

From there, we can front-end the content however we like, or import it to another wiki instance, or anything really.
See the incomplete script "archive_crawler" to see my working. I would not recommend blindly running it - it's beta quality at best. Just read it and this page to follow the logic... or just fork this repo... or whatever, I'm not your Dad.
