(34.2KB, 640x480) Hey, so I wanted a tool to help with migrating my imageboard around. I used the approach of making copies of threads by hand, but I wanted something more powerful and much simpler to use. With the upcoming opening of 8kun, I figured it might be of interest to other anons to also use a tool like this. Sadly, my progress to date only includes my hand-written C++ code, not a fully pre-packaged piece of software for general users. So, atm this will only be of any practical interest to anons who can compile C++ and install needed dependencies. If that's you, then read on.
While I plan to create a GUI for this tool at a later point, for now it's a command-only tool. You run it simply by supplying the site name followed by the board name. For example:
./archbot julay.world robowaifu
would download the catalog's json & html, every thread's json & html, and every thread's media files (images, audio, video, pdfs, etc) to a local copy in whatever directory y
