The following are  abbreviated steps for downloading a Website from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine using CentOS 7.0.  

If you check GitHub there are a number of  Downloaders available and I don't think they're all equal in quality.  I was lucky to find this one by the author hartator as it worked for me:

https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader

If you want, you can check through the above github page, as it does give a long list of options of how to control the download for larger Websites. If you check through the issues you'll note that pages are missed - there were a number of report backs about this.  So it's not perfect by a long shot. But it's fun for less serious projects. 

Before you start the download it is important that you check how large the Website is that you want to download and whether you have enough resources on your VPS, particularly memory, bandwidth and disk space to handle the download efficiently.  One flaw in the downloader is that it doesn't provide you with the size it is going to download and it also doesn't give you the option to say "no".  You need to do that research before you use the download command.

Here is an abbreviation of the commands using CentOS 7.0:

Step 1:  Install Ruby



Step 2:  Install the Wayback Machine Downloader



Step 3:  Use the downloader command to start the download:




If you want to interrupt the download you can use Ctrl C.  If you want to resume the download at the point where it was interrupted just repeat the downloader command:



I'm happy with the outcome so far, however haven't taken it to its conclusion yet.  My download project is very tricky in that it is a Forum instead of a static Website.  I think for uncomplicated static Websites this will work fine.  Not sure about Forums and Blogs though.  There's an issue with time stamps and the way the Forums and Blogs have been archived.  And of course no database.  The layers of .html pages don't go that deep.  Hopefully I'll be able to report back about this at a later stage.  I'm hoping to get a snapshot of the Forum on X date.  Will be interesting to see what will appear.

In retrospect have decided to give up on megatools. The backup was so slow and almost a tenth of the way it just came to a complete stop. I'll probably go about this in a different way.

I've spent more than two days this weekend transferring a huge folder of files from Wayward Machine to my VPS.  I feel "very lucky" with the accomplishment as I managed to download 5GB of folders and files continuously and without a hitch for 2.5 days.  Like never stopped.  My ISP, my VPS Host, everything worked together like a charm.  I'll post a tutorial about this later on, but for now am trying to get a handle on how to work with a very large folder in my VPS. I need to know how to move the folder around in the VPS and the best way of backing the folder up when it is as large as it is.  I've been Googling tools for most of tonight and got excited when I noticed Hidden's suggestion at FreeVPS.us for using one's mega.nz free account as an addition to one's VPS:

Source: https://freevps.us/thread-22083.html

Hidden [email protected] Wrote:Mega.nz Cloud Storage + FUSE = MegaFUSE

MegaFUSE is a great Linux commandline application that allows you to mount your free Mega.nz storage - 50 GB - or your paid Mega.nz storage as a normal mountpoint in Linux. You can therefore directly use your Mega.nz storage to expand the storage of your VPS for free.

GitHub: https://github.com/matteoserva/MegaFuse

I've got a few questions, so will be grateful of some help as I'm new to this.

Question 1:
If I move the large folder that I downloaded over the weekend - 5GB - from the root of my VPS where it is now to the root of a public_html domain with SSH - what can go wrong with the moving of the very large folder?  Like what kind of resources will be used and what should I be watching out for - will it also take 2.5 days to be accomplished?  How about with SFTP in FileZilla - will that take a long time to move the folder as well - should I do it bit by bit instead?

Question 2:
I already have a mega.nz account with 50GB free space.  I'd like to incorporate (share) this with the VPS. If I do this, will I still have access to my mega.nz free account via the Internet?  I.e. be able to access it both via SSH and the Internet and be able to download the folders from the mega free account to my computer?  Idea being to use it both as an addition to my VPS as well as FTP client to my desktop computer?

Question 3:
OK - now to set my mega.nz account up with CentOS?  I've been looking for CentOS commands and not able to find any.  I checked the GitHub matteoserva link and doesn't look as though there is anything for CentOS.  Any suggestions?  Like what are the simplest commands to use?

I found this suggestion but it looks very complicated - I don't see anything about MegaFUSE in it?

Progress Notes - a couple of hours later:

I've gone ahead and I tried the geeky.tuts tutorial (above) for installing the megatools and it worked!  I'm now set up to back my files and folders up to my mega.nz archive, however it's going VERY slowly.  Probably going to take longer to back the files up from the VPS to mega.nz than it took to download the files from the wayward machine to my VPS.  Will see how that will progress.  And also what resources it uses.  Will report back later.

If anyone else wants to use mega.nz for a backup archive of 50GB free - the above tutorial is excellent - genuinely step-by-step.  You need to create an account first though - so you need to go to mega.nz first to create an account.  If you check the tutorial you get to add the user name (email account) and password towards the end of the tutorial.


One important point if you're going to use the above tutorial with CentOS - I checked through the comments and one contributor suggested an update command for the dependencies command (the first yum install command) - so instead of the yum install command at the start of the tutorial, you need to use the updated yum install command at the bottom of the comments by the LinEdx user :

Quote:megatools-1.9.97 use asciidoc:
update:

Code:

yum -y install gcc make glib2-devel libcurl-devel openssl-devel gmp-devel tar asciidoc

This is of course not mega fusion yet.  I still have to figure out how I can add my mega account as part of the VPS.  @'Hidden Refuge', would that make the transfer of the files faster?  Or would one work differently once the account has been "fused"?  This is where one probably will find the step-by-step tutorial for doing this:
https://github.com/matteoserva/MegaFuse

Progress notes another few hours later - approx 7 hours:

The backup of the contents of the large folder from my VPS to mega.nz is indeed taking as long as I thought it would.  In the last 7 hours less than a 10th of the files have been uploaded.  It's also not as nice as when I downloaded it from the wayback machine with the wayback downloader as then it at least told me how many files are being downloaded and the status, i.e. how many have been downloaded out of the total to be downloaded.  I had to go into my mega.nz account to check how many files have been downloaded and there were approx 12 000 out of 146 694 total.  So this is going to take a long time.

What is interesting though is that it is not using that much of my VPS resources as it had been using with the download from the wayback machine to the VPS.  So not sure whether I have it correct.  The faster the move of the files, the more RAM is used?  Or do I have it wrong?

I want to complete the backup first before I work on anything else on my VPS so expect that to take the following couple of days.  Once the backup to mega.nz has been completed, my next project will be to move all of the files in my VPS Root to the public-html root of a new domain to see what the end product looks like.  Wonder whether if I zipped the files and folders first whether that would make the move easier and faster?

Hello Post4VPS members,

We are extremely sorry for the extensive downtime, our forum was hosted on a server from our "Captain Black Beard" AKA @Tyler when he decided to ran away with our ship "Black Pearl" as captain we were blind and didn't realized that it is not possible for anyone to provide free services without any economical/financial structure so in the end everything @Tyler said has been mixed in Dust with everything he had, i asked him about the financial status for his servers but in the he end he didn't answered me in right manner and just skip the question.

Again sorry for the inconvenience, for the time being till black friday or cyber monday sale we are hosting our forum on one of HyperExpert servers though we will move it to paid host if we got a nice deal. As for me i didn't want our forum to be hosted on sponsored server right after the incident from igniteservers or should i say Carl balton or whatever the name was i usually don't want any sensitive data hosted on a sponsored server specially if its related to our post4vps family.

Once again we are extremely sorry for the downtime,

From
The Team

I learned this from @coreyman at freevps.club yesterday:

(09-28-2018, 01:15 PM)coreyman Wrote: Well cloudflare is about to put a lot of people out of business. They are going to offer 'at cost' domains.
https://www.cloudflare.com/products/registrar/

Looks as though cloudflare is about to embark on the business of domains.  So in reality to go all out into competition with the popular registrars like Namecheap, Domain Silo, Daddy etc.  I think they're testing the ground first, as they're inviting people to write to them as an expression of interest to transfer their domains to Cloudflare, and then to be the "first" to be advised when Cloudflare start this.

Quote:Be one of the first to transfer your domains to Cloudflare. Sign up now and we will email you when the Early Access program officially opens.

Here's what it will cost to renew domains with Cloudflare.  They would like everyone to transfer their domains to them.  I don't think I'll be one of them though.  For me a Registrar is more than just a price.  I've developed loads of respect for DomainSilo and Namecheap.  Seeing is believing first.

I feel for those who have recently had their posts deleted as I'd hate for my posts to be deleted too.  Humans are creatures of habit.  You've been used to making those one-liners for a long time - all of the sudden staff are preoccupied with quality and your posts are being deleted. This has to be a great shock and something big for you to get used to.  I don't necessarily agree with this, one of the reasons I was so excited when I joined post4vps.com in March was that there was an absence of deleted posts.  But since this is what the staff have decided and deleted posts have become a reality at post4vps (for good quality reasons of course), maybe the tips below could be helpful for making better quality posts.

Consider this is a great opportunity for you to improve your writing skills as well as your ability to communicate with others in a meaningful and quality way.  It can become very useful tool for you in your work as well.

1. Only make posts in topics that really interest you and that you feel spontaneous about - like you have the feeling you really want to give your opinion on the topic.  Not a "thank you" or "I agree" type of feeling, but there's something in the topic that makes you think, and wants you to give your opinion.  Only respond to that topic if you have this kind of feeling.  You'll be surprised at what happens when you do this.  Words just seem to appear from nowhere - but when they do, learn to master them - be careful in using them, and pretend as you have an assignment to communicate your thinking to others from scratch - give them the background, give them the facts.  You may even want to research this by Googling the topic and in the end discover that you're actually learning something new about the topic that you want to share with others.  Don't copy paste this though - use proper quotation marks with the source - but also say it in your own words - preferably always in your own words.

2. If there aren't that many topics as per the above that wants you to think, then think to what you've been doing with your VPS lately.  Have you had to troubleshoot something?  Like maybe you got locked out of your VPS and you discovered a certain way of securing your VPS didn't work.  Then go to the Security Section of the Forum and start a new topic about it, but one that has your thoughts about it in more detail than you are used to.  Be careful NOT to copy paste any material. That would really irritate the staff very much. Try and think in English and as though you are teaching people about what the problem is that happened to you and how you solved it.  Try and train your brain to bookmark mentally topics you can contribute to the Forum.  Like that "aha" moment when something good happened to you and how you can share this with others in the Forum. At the same time Google the background so you have your thoughts tested by fact as well.  Try and test your knowledge by Googling your thoughts before you share it with others.  So you can make your statements foolproof. 

Be careful not to duplicate topics such as favourite movie etc etc.  Like if your thoughts are about contributing a new topic and it's not really a specialist but more global topic, then it may be an idea to check whether there is already a topic on it first.  Staff get irritated when they see duplicate threads.

3. Try and look at all of the Forums instead of just responding to recent linked posts.  Better yet, only respond to posts that are in quality Forums.  And only if you have something meaningful and longer than one line to say.

Maybe it will help if you have a laptop or desktop, to actually sit through the Forums one day and look at the ones that would give you the opportunity of extra quality posts and the topics that really are meaningful to you.  Like for example making a tutorial or doing a review.  If you can make one of those and do it well that will make the staff happy and more forgiving.  Try and make at least one of those every month or every other month.  BUT when you do it, don't copy paste the tutorial.  Write it in your own words.  And take your time over it.

4. When you study all of the Forums, take note of the ones where you don't earn any credit posts - don't waste your time with them - they are the following Forums:

Quote:Private support forum
Private VPS Request forum
Spam/test forum
Introduction forum
Would not be counted towards your monthly post counts.

Source: https://post4vps.com/announcement-1.html

5. If the thread consists of a very long number of responses, BEFORE you respond, check first what the opening paragraph of that thread says.  Make sure that you know exactly what the topic is so you can stay with the topic.  If the last response is off topic, then try and get the discussion back to topic with your own views, if you have any meaningful additional views to contribute.  If you have nothing to contribute and you notice the last post is off topic, then use the REPORT button to report it is off topic.  Don't respond to the thread.

6. Have a positive mental attitude about all of this.  See this as a great opportunity to improve your English.  Like teach yourself to write well worded sentences that show your ability to communicate technical information. It will earn you more points in the Forum as well.  Your position will be much stronger. And you'll acquire a certain amount of pride in your accomplishment.
