Plan an OpenWayback to pywb Migration

pywb offers active development and higher fidelity.

Steps

1. Ensure CDX indexes are up to date (bin/cdx-indexer).
2. Install pywb:

   pip install pywb
   wb-manager init archive
3. Configure collections.yaml:

   archive:
     index: /data/cdx/
     archive_paths: /data/warcs/
4. Test locally:

   wb-manager run
5. Update DNS or reverse proxies to point users to pywb.
