I wish hosting a Tor website was as easy as Onionshare though. Start an app, point it at a dir with a rendered static site, and hand out the dot-onion to whomever you wish to show it.
I'm thinking: ephemeral websites like Opera Unite used to provide, to e.g. share a photo album for as long as you're online.
Edit: I should probably say I'm talking about the Android version. Which would be so convenient for an appliancy web server. The desktop version already do this.
- prussia 3y agoIn my experience hosting an onionsite is actually easier than hosting a regular website. Two or three lines in a .torrc file, then `tor -f .torrc & python -m http.server -d static` or whatever to start the webserver, and everything is handled for you (iirc doing `mkdir tor/hidden_service` might also be needed?). No need to port forward or fiddle with DNS... Though hosting two at once is a bit of a pain ([0])..

- brnt 3y agoI guess I should just use Termux instead of waiting for Onionshare's Android version to reach parity.
