Description

In the spirit of selfhosting i would like to archive or backup links to a local archive instead of archive.org.

Idealy it would be an integration of SingleFile into LinkAce to automaticly download Websites as a single HTML file. A bonus would be the automatic download of media files like youtube-videos via something like jdownloader.

Alternatives: Archivebox exists but the options to download doesn´t work to well in my short experience and LinkAce has the superior interface. Linkwarden looks promising but is not as refined as LinkAce.

Research direction
Investigate integrating SingleFile (https://github.com/gildas lormeau/SingleFile) to download websites as single HTML files locally. Review existing archiving logic in LinkAce, likely in ArchiveController or related services. Consider handling media downloads separately via jdownloader or similar. The issue body also mentions Archivebox and Linkwarden as alternatives, so examining their approaches may provide insights.
