ArchiveBox supports a wide range of local and remote filesystems using `rclone` and/or Docker storage plugins. The examples below use [Docker Compose bind mounts](https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/) to demonstrate the concepts; adapt the host paths, ownership, and provider settings to your environment.
Example [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/dev/docker-compose.yml) storage setup:

# Setting Up Authentication
> *💬 We offer [consulting services](https://docs.monadical.com/s/archivebox-consulting-services) to set up, integrate, and maintain ArchiveBox with your org's auth & hosting.

ArchiveBox supports several types of authentication for users logging in via the Admin Web UI or REST API.
## Set Up Admin Web UI Permissions
<img src="https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/assets/511499/024913f0-ad2c-463c-aa4a-eb3d0ec8eb64" alt="Non-admin user permissions are only available to paying ArchiveBox clients" width="200px" align="right">
Use these options to set up your desired permissions for non-admin guest users:
- [`PUBLIC_INDEX=True`](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#public_index): Default *allows* non-logged-in users to see Snapshot list
- [`PUBLIC_ADD_VIEW=False`](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#public_add_view): Default *doesn't allow* non-logged-in users to submit new URLs
- [`PERMISSIONS=public`](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#permissions): Default *allows* non-logged-in users to see Snapshot content (set to `unlisted` or `private` to gate it; replaces the removed legacy `PUBLIC_SNAPSHOTS` toggle, which was a global on/off — `PERMISSIONS` is now per-Snapshot)
> [!NOTE]
> **Open source ArchiveBox does not support setting up *non-admin* users** & groups with custom permissions. We do offer this feature, audit logging, and more to [paying clients](https://docs.monadical.com/s/archivebox-consulting-services).
> ArchiveBox does not currently support setting up *non-admin* users and groups with custom permissions.
