SingleFile CLI (Command Line Interface)

Introduction

SingleFile can be launched from the command line by running it into a (headless) browser.

It runs through Deno as a standalone script injected into the web page via the Chrome DevTools Protocol instead of being embedded into a WebExtension.

Installation

SingleFile can be run without installing it, just download the executable file and save it in the directory of your choice here: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/single-file-cli/releases

Make sure Chrome or a Chromium-based browser is installed in the default folder. Otherwise you might need to set the --browser-executable-path option to help SingleFile locating the path of the executable file.

Installation with Docker

  • Installation from Docker Hub

    docker pull capsulecode/singlefile

    docker tag capsulecode/singlefile singlefile

  • Manual installation

    git clone --depth 1 --recursive https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/single-file-cli.git

    cd single-file-cli

    docker build --no-cache -t singlefile .

  • Run

    docker run singlefile "https://www.wikipedia.org"

  • Run and redirect the result into a file

    docker run singlefile "https://www.wikipedia.org" > wikipedia.html

  • Run and mount a volume to get the saved file in the current directory

    • Save one page

      docker run -v %cd%:/usr/src/app/out singlefile "https://www.wikipedia.org" wikipedia.html (Windows)

      docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app/out singlefile "https://www.wikipedia.org" wikipedia.html (Linux/UNIX)

    • Save one or multiple pages by using the filename template (see --filename-template option)

      docker run -v %cd%:/usr/src/app/out singlefile "https://www.wikipedia.org" --dump-content=false (Windows)

      docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app/out singlefile "https://www.wikipedia.org" --dump-content=false (Linux/UNIX)

  • An alternative docker file can be found here https://github.com/screenbreak/SingleFile-dockerized. It allows you to save pages from the command line interface or through an HTTP server.
