# Using YunoHost as a Tor Hidden Service

See https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-hidden-service.html.en

## Installing Tor

```bash
sudo apt-get install tor 
```

## Configuring our hidden service

Edit /etc/tor/torrc, and add these lines:

```bash
HiddenServiceDir  /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
HiddenServicePort 443 127.0.0.1:443
```

## Restart Tor

```bash
service tor restart
```

## Get your Tor Hidden Service hostname

```bash
cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname
```

Your domain looks like *random123456789.onion*

## Add the .onion domain to Yunohost

```bash
yunohost domain add random123456789.onion
```

## Avoid SSO redirection (optional)

If you want to avoid being redirected to the SSO portal at login, you can deactivate SSOwat for this specific tor domain, by editing the file `/etc/nginx/conf.d/random123456789.onion.conf` and commenting the following line (two times):

```bash
#access_by_lua_file /usr/share/ssowat/access.lua;
```

## Restart nginx

```bash
service nginx restart
```
