Self-hosted knowledge repository with digital preservation and extensibility
Self-hostable personal wiki that preserves bookmarked web content, organizes knowledge with bidirectional links, and stores everything in markdown files with powerful search and plugin support.
Archivy is a self-hosted knowledge repository designed for individuals who want complete control over their information. Built on the principle of digital preservation, it automatically saves the full content of bookmarked web pages, ensuring permanent access even if the original source disappears.
Every note and bookmark lives as an extended markdown file with YAML front matter, giving you direct filesystem access without vendor lock-in. The system supports bidirectional linking between notes, embedded tags, LaTeX math rendering, syntax highlighting, and footnotes—all while maintaining human-readable plain text storage.
Power users benefit from a plugin system and API that enable custom workflows and integrations with external services. Advanced search capabilities powered by Elasticsearch help you rediscover information quickly. The Python-based platform installs via pip or Docker, with straightforward admin user creation and local deployment at localhost:5000. Ideal for researchers, students, and knowledge workers who prioritize data ownership and long-term accessibility.
When teams consider Archivy, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Academic Research Archive
Preserve cited web sources permanently while organizing literature notes with bidirectional links and LaTeX math support for thesis work
Developer Documentation Hub
Collect technical bookmarks with automatic content archival, organize with tags, and extend functionality through custom plugins for workflow integration
Personal Learning System
Build an interconnected knowledge graph using bidirectional links between concepts, with powerful search to rediscover insights over time
Digital Preservation Library
Archive important web content before it disappears, maintaining permanent local copies with full-text search across your entire collection
When you add a bookmark, Archivy automatically downloads and saves the complete web page content locally, ensuring permanent access even if the original site goes offline or changes.
All content is stored as extended markdown files with YAML front matter, making them human-readable and editable in any text editor without requiring the application.
Currently Archivy is designed for single-user deployment. A multi-user system with permission controls is planned for future releases according to the roadmap.
Archivy requires Python and can be installed via pip. For advanced search features, Elasticsearch is needed. Docker installation is also available as an alternative deployment method.
Archivy provides an extensible plugin system and API that allows power users to customize functionality, integrate with external services, and automate their knowledge management workflows.
