asciinema-selfhost
Advanced tools
asciinema is awesome! I love it. However, i often want to show or send asciinemas without depending on the internet working, or working fast.
asciinema-selfhost downloads an asciinema from asciinema.org and makes a small static website. It has all the necessary data, js, and css. It is completely self-hosted! It can be published anywhere, and even works offline!
npm install -g asciinema-selfhost
This tool will download all the assets representing an asciinema, and it will prepare a static directiory. Optionally, it can publish them to IPFS.
This script is run after you upload to asciinema.org. We hope to be able to avoid the hassle of relying on specific network hosts (because sometimes the internet is slow, or not there...). But for now some necessary post-processing is done server-side. So:

--rehost <id> to publish static website to ipfs--rehost does what --clone does and takes it a step further: it publishes the static website on ipfs. This makes the asciinema viewable by anyone on the HTTP gateway, or in an offline ipfs network.
