What is archive-genocide-website-mirror?

This project is a read only viewer that lets anyone run their own local copy, or mirror, of a website called Archive Genocide, which the author describes as a documentation project cataloging events in Gaza and the West Bank. The code in this repository is only the small server and front end that displays the material. The actual footage and gallery data are distributed separately through a signed torrent, since they are large files that are shared computer to computer rather than downloaded from one central server. The stated goal is to make the documentation resistant to being taken down, since anyone can host their own copy, so no single website host or country can remove all copies of the evidence at once. To use it, a person needs three things in one folder: this viewer code, the data files fetched with an included script, and the actual footage folder obtained separately through the torrent. The project includes simple double click scripts for Windows, Mac, and Linux to start the local server, plus an option to share your local copy publicly through a temporary Cloudflare tunnel link, or by renting a small always on server. The viewer deliberately has no admin panel, no login, no way to upload or submit content through it, and no tracking or outside network requests once it is running, since the author states this protects the people who originally documented the material and prevents a mirror from being used to inject fake submissions. Because anyone can copy and redistribute the code, the project also includes a way to verify that a given copy's data is authentic using a GPG cryptographic signature, so users can check they are viewing the real, unaltered dataset rather than a tampered one. The viewer code itself is released under the MIT license, meaning it can be reused and re-hosted freely. The underlying footage is described by the author as documentary material collected for public record and accountability purposes, provided as is.
