Digital Archive VPS - Offshore Research Data and Web Archiving
Digital archiving requires long-term stable storage, legal protection from deletion orders, and jurisdictional separation from the subjects of archival. Archiving politically sensitive web content (government websites, opposition media before deletion), research datasets (medical, social science), and organizational records on an Iceland VPS provides the legal durability that domestic archiving cannot guarantee.

Web Archiving with Heritrix and WARC
Heritrix is the Internet Archive's own web crawler for creating WARC (Web ARChive) format archives:
```bash
apt install default-jre -y
wget https://github.com/internetarchive/heritrix3/releases/download/3.4.0-20230928/heritrix-3.4.0-20230928-dist.zip
unzip heritrix-3.4.0-20230928-dist.zip
cd heritrix-3.4.0-20230928
./bin/heritrix -a admin:PASSWORD
```
Access UI at https://YOUR_VPS_IP:8443. Create crawl jobs to archive specific domains or URL lists. Output WARC files are playable in the Wayback Machine or locally with PyWb.
Simpler alternative - wget:
```bash
wget --mirror --convert-links --page-requisites --no-parent https://target-site.com/
```
For time-sensitive archiving of at-risk content: create a cron job that monitors specific pages and archives changes daily.
