Fork is now up to date #5
Fork from chriswayg#1
A complete, efficient and secure Tor relay server Docker image based on Debian Jessie This docker image will update automatically each time the Debian Jessie base image is updated and build & install the latest current stable version of Tor server. It will run Tor as an unprivileged regular user, as recommended by torproject.org.
The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more people who run relays, the faster the Tor network will be. If you have at least 2 megabits/s for both upload and download, please help out Tor by configuring your Tor to be a relay too.
Tor
is free software and an open network that helps you defend against
traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal
freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and
state security.
- Tor prevents people from learning your location or browsing habits.
- Tor is for web browsers, instant messaging clients, and more.
- Tor is free and open source for Windows, Mac, Linux/Unix, and Android
This will run a Tor relay server with defaults and a randomized Nickname:
docker run -d --name=tor_relay_1 -p 9001:9001 --restart=always doudou34/tor-server
You can set a Nickname (only letters and numbers) and a Contact Email using environment variables:
docker run -d --name=tor_relay_1 -p 9001:9001 \
-e TOR_NICKNAME=Tor4docker -e [email protected] \
--restart=always doudou34/tor-server
For more detailed customisation edit ./torrc
on the host to the intended settings:
### /etc/torrc ###
# see /etc/torrc/torrc.default and https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
# Server's public IP Address (usually automatic)
#Address 10.10.10.10
# Port to advertise for incoming Tor connections.
# common ports are 9001, 443
ORPort 9001
# Mirror directory information for others (optional)
# common ports are 9030, 80
#DirPort 9030
# Run as a relay only (not as an exit node)
ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed
# Set limits
#RelayBandwidthRate 1024 KB # Throttle traffic to
#RelayBandwidthBurst 2048 KB # But allow bursts up to

#BridgeRelay 1
# Run Tor only as a server (no local applications)
SocksPort 0
# Run Tor as a regular user (do not change this)

# If no Nickname or ContactInfo is set, docker-entrypoint will use
# the environment variables to add Nickname/ContactInfo here
#Nickname Tor4 # only use letters and numbers
#ContactInfo [email protected]
Mount your customized torrc
into the container. You can reuse the secret_id_key
from a previous Tor server installation (docker cp tor_relay:/var/lib/tor/keys/secret_id_key ./
) by mounting it, too, to continue with the same Fingerprint and ID.
docker run -d --name=tor_relay_1 -p 9001:9001 \
-v $PWD/torrc:/etc/tor/torrc \
-v $PWD/secret_id_key:/var/lib/tor/keys/secret_id_key \
--restart=always doudou34/tor-server
Check with docker logs tor_relay_1
. If you see the message [notice] Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor.
at the bottom after quite a while, your server started successfully.
Adapt this example docker-compose.yml
with your settings:
relay:
image: doudou34/tor-server
restart: always
ports:
- "9001:9001"
- "9030:9030"
environment:
## set your Nickname here (only use letters and numbers)
TOR_NICKNAME: Tor4
## an email address to contact you
CONTACT_EMAIL: [email protected]
Start a new instance of the Tor relay server, show the current fingerprint and display the logs:
docker-compose up -d
docker exec tor_relay_1 cat /var/lib/tor/fingerprint
docker-compose logs
