Easily archiving reddit with ArchiveTeam Warrior on NixOS (lemmy.world)

Hi, I want to share with you the way I figured out to easily archive reddit content with ArchiveTeam Warrior on NixOS. You can set it up fully in nix config!

Okay, first of all, you'll need to enable docker or podman. I chose podman here:

virtualisation.podman = {
  enable = true;
  dockerCompat = true;

  defaultNetwork.settings.dns_enabled = true;
};

After that, all you have to do is run the docker image! Here's how I do it with podman:

virtualisation.oci-containers.backend = "podman";
virtualisation.oci-containers.containers = {
  archive-team-warrior = {
    image = "atdr.meo.ws/archiveteam/reddit-grab";
    autoStart = true;
    cmd = ["YOUR_USERNAME_HERE_FOR_LEADERBOARD"];
    extraOptions = ["--network=host"];
  };
};

This doesn't start the full ArchiveTeam Warrior, but only the reddit grabber. That means you get no website to manage it at port 8001, and it just runs in the background, not disturbing you. I think it's worth it to add these 14 LOC to your system configuration, to help archive reddit.

Let's hope they account for that, but I doubt anything that has already been backed up will be deleted.
