Running a downloaded site locally

Some sites are plain HTML and will open directly in a browser. Others (login systems, housekeeping panels, anything dynamic) need to be served over HTTP or images and links will break. Use Python's built-in server, nothing to install beyond Python itself.

1

Install Python

Open Microsoft Store, search Python, install the top result. Or get it from python.org/downloads and tick "Add Python to PATH" during install.

2

Extract the ZIP

Right-click the ZIP and choose Extract All.

3

Open a terminal in the folder

Open the extracted folder, click the address bar, type cmd, press Enter.

4

Start the server

python -m http.server 8080

You should see: Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8080

5

Open in your browser

Go to http://localhost:8080. Press Ctrl+C to stop.

1

Check if Python is already installed

Open Terminal (Cmd+Space, type Terminal) and run:

python3 --version

If you get a version number, skip to step 3. If not, install from python.org/downloads.

2

Extract the ZIP

Double-click the ZIP. Mac extracts it automatically.

3

Open Terminal in the folder

Type cd and a space in Terminal, drag the folder from Finder into the window, press Enter.

4

Start the server

python3 -m http.server 8080
5

Open in your browser

Go to http://localhost:8080. Press Ctrl+C to stop.

1

Install Python if needed

Most distros already have Python 3. To install if not:

sudo apt install python3

Use dnf instead of apt on Fedora/RHEL.

2

Extract the ZIP and open a terminal there

unzip habbohotel2001.zip && cd habbohotel2001
3

Start the server

python3 -m http.server 8080
4

Open in your browser

Go to http://localhost:8080. Press Ctrl+C to stop.

The server only runs while the terminal is open. Close it and it stops. Nothing is installed permanently.

Flash / Shockwave content

Flash (.swf) files are played via Ruffle, no plugins needed. If something doesn't load, try Chrome or Firefox.

Shockwave (.dcr) files are not yet emulated and will show as missing. Support is coming thanks to LibreShockwave (GitHub).

No .swf or .dcr files are hosted on this server. All Flash and Shockwave content is served from external sources as originally archived.

Downloads

Every site card has a ZIP button. The gallery also has a full download of all screenshots in one ZIP. All ZIPs include a README.txt, please keep it if you re-share.

About this archive
