Zimit is a scraper that allows you to create ZIM file from any Web site.

While we would like to support as many websites as possible, making an offline archive of any website with a versatile tool obviously has some limitations.

Most capabilities and known limitations are documented in warc2zim README. There are also some limitations in Browsertrix Crawler (used to fetch the website) and wombat (used to properly replay dynamic web requests), but these are not (yet?) clearly documented.

Zimit runs a fully automated browser-based crawl of a website property and produces a ZIM of the crawled content. Zimit runs in a Docker container.

The system runs a website crawl with Browsertrix Crawler, which produces WARC files, and converts the crawled WARC files to a single ZIM using warc2zim. After the crawl is done, warc2zim is used to write a zim to the /output directory, which should be mounted as a volume to not loose the ZIM created when container stops.
