To try, run UBOS red channel on x86_64 (not ARM, not yellow yet):

ubos-admin createsite --tor

and answer the questions. This will deploy the app(s) you selected, download and install Tor, and configure a Tor hidden service pointing to the site. When the command finishes, it prints out the .onion http at which the site can be reached.

All other commands work with tor sites as well, like backup and restore, which will also preserve the Tor site’s private key, so the site can be recreated from backup at the same .onion name.

Because Tor can route behind the firewall, this will be an alternate option to self-host at home without having to fiddle with firewalls and routers.

Cheers,



Johannes.
