Offline Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange sites through stackdump (2016-06-13) (Size: 35.72 GB)
Description
What is this?
A local offline webserver with Stack Overflow and most of the Stack Exchange sister sites (see at bottom for which). You can search and browse all questions and answers up to 2016-06-13. The search is not quite as good as Google at figuring out what you're looking for, but it can be invaluable when you're out of internet access. Why? You could recreate this package by downloading the stackdump viewer and importing the stackexchange data yourself, but it would take a day or more of work, lots of RAM (> 10GB) and lots of disk space. I made this for myself, and thought I'd save you that effort. Is this legal? Yes. The data is released by Stack Exchange Inc. under cc-by-sa 3.0 which allows to "remix, transform, and build upon the material". The viewer program is stackdump by Samuel Lai, and is released under the MIT License. How do I use this? What do I need? You need Python (2.5 or later, but not 3.0), Java (6 or later) and 50 GB of disk space. The package is a working Mercurial repository (which also provides a way to check that the code hasn't been altered). You can update the stackdump viewer with a hg pull, as well as add and remove sites with manage.sh if you want more, or to free up space. See the stackdump site for instructions how. Launching on Linux: Once downloaded and the .7z unpacked, run this in the stackdump directory: to start up a webserver on http://localhost:8080. To shut it down, Ctrl+C, fg and Ctrl+C again. Launching on Windows: Launch these two scripts from a shell: to start up a webserver on http://localhost:8080. To shut them down, Ctrl+C them. You might need to first turn on script-running for PowerShell (run Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned in C:WindowsSysWOW64WindowsPowerShellv1.0powershell.exe started as Administrator). You might then need to edit Start-Solr.ps1 and reduce -Xmx2048M to -Xmx1048M (maybe only for 32-bit version of PowerShell? Not sure). After that, starting Start-Solr.ps1 and Start-StackdumpWeb.ps1 in two different C:WindowsSysWOW64WindowsPowerShellv1.0powershell.exes should put up the webserver. Other OSes: Should work if they have Python and Java, but I have not tried myself. Which stackexchange sites are included? Practically all of them. These ones and a few more: Related Torrents
