Owner of the site says site may be going down in 2 or 3 weeks. He provides download links for data. No explanation as to why. See linked thread on SearchVoat forum.

The best way to try and do this is to convert a (soon to be extinct) website into a .zim file and allow people to browse and search it using Kiwix.

https://kiwix.org

https://github.com/openzim/zimit

Verify this for yourself by downloading Kiwix and and a .zim archive of a relatively small (10GB site) and try browsing the site using Kiwix.

A while ago, we tried to use a service, zim.it I think to convert voat.xyz into a .zim but it wasn't readable. It should be possible.
