Oh this is super interesting! I've been playing with Internetinabox, Kiwix, yt-dlp, httrack'd websites, mirrors of github orgs... and I have all this data but no frontend for it. Searchability is huge, I will definitely be playing with this.

IIAB, notably, has an offline maps function in recent versions. I haven't looked at how it works.

Ultimately I'd like to put _all_ that content behind the same interface as my local Othernet receiver node, some sort of Piratebox file-upload site, a local-only BBS sort of message-board, and whatever else might be useful if I found myself offline for a long time.

Oh btw, this may be of interest since you're likely to have a pi sitting there, maybe you'd like to bring up some other pis:

Thanks for the reply. Your comment about having it all behind one interface really resonates with my goals with WROLPi.

I skimmed the link you provided. My goal is to do something similar, but use the Debian Blu-ray ISOs. Debian provides ISOs that contain their entire repo. They fit nicely on a 128GB thumb drive.
