tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-27

WaterCrawl (2k stars, 252 forks on GitHub) is a web crawling application built with Python, Django, Scrapy and Celery, aimed at extracting web content and transforming it into LLM-ready data structures.

It ships with a quick Docker setup: clone the repo, copy .env.example, run docker compose up -d, and access it at localhost. When deploying on a domain or IP other than localhost, you must update the MinIO configuration in .env accordingly. The repo includes full frontend/backend, docs and tutorials.
