1. 🗜️ Always make a full backup before installing new BETA releases!
   Remember, this is an unstable sneak-preview in the middle of a rewrite, so it MAY DAMAGE DATA.

gzip -k ./data/index.sqlite3         # do this at least 🙏
zip -r data.bak.zip data             # OR even better: backup the entire data dir

2. 📦 Then get the latest nightly build from Docker Hub or Pip:

docker pull archivebox/archivebox:0.8.5rc51
# OR
pip install 'git+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox@v0.8.5rc51'

3. ↗️ Then run archivebox init to upgrade your collection: This take several hours to migrate existing data from v0.7.x on a slower HDDs (up to ~1min/1000 URLs).

archivebox install         # make sure all package and runtime dependencies are installed & available
archivebox init            # run data migrations (slow, theoretically safe to Ctrl+C and resume, but try not to)
archivebox version         # check that everything updated properly and dependencies are installed
archivebox status          # see a health report on the collection index & snapshot directories

4. 💬 Let us know if you find bugs or have suggestions by opening a new issue! In particular we want to hear:

• was the upgrade/migration process smooth?
• can you find any areas of the UI/CLI that are slow?
• how do you like the new plugin system? (see archivebox/plugins_extractor/*) Would you contribute a new plugin?
