I love ArchiveBox but the headless Chromium they use has some annoying "will break randomly and GFL trying to figure out why/how to fix it" problems (like it'll just randomly stop working because the profile is locked except the lock file isn't there and even if you tweak things to make 100% sure the profile lock is removed before and after every archive request, it'll still randomly fail on a locked profile and WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!)

Although, to be fair, running it in Docker seems less fraught and breaks less often (and it's a lot easier to restart when it does break.)

(I've got a pipeline from Instapaper -> {IFTTT -> {Pinboard -> Linkhut, Dropbox, Webhook -> ArchiveBox}} which works well most of the time for archiving random pages. Used to be Pocket until Mozilla decided to be evil.)
