Hi everyone, I have developed, with help by devs, a new project to bring Tor on Docker and facilitate users to run their own relays through Docker images and Docker Containers, publishing this work on GitHub and DockerHub.

Since I want to help people running their own services and relays, I would like to get in touch with people, for asking them to review and make the code better!

I would like to open a site as a guideline for people to my project. Since I am developing the same scripts for Linux and Windows (I used Linux Containers to build this project) and since my project is newborn, I was thinking to spread the word to everyone, but I can't find a process, or a place to "tell everyone".

The site I'm building is intended as a safe place for people direct helping, saving the responses for future uses (like a normal forum).

Can you tell me, how can I get in touch with the Community?

If you are interested to review my project, or valuate it about telling people, the repository links are the following:

GitHub: https://github.com/randomtable/ChimeraOS

DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/u/alessandrofiori

Many thanks!

Alessandro Fiori

Hi Alessandro,

Welcome to the Tor community!

From a glance, I see you've already been active on the tor-dev mailing list. [1][2][3][4][5] Cool :)

I see komlo recommended [6] and that you added [7] a reference to your project on the wiki page [8]. Also cool!

The maaaaaany email lists Tor has can be overwhelming, so I wanted to point you to yet another email list: tor-relays [9]. This is one of the main ways the relay-operators Tor "subcommunity" stays in touch.

There's also the #tor-relays channel on IRC - another major communication medium for relay operators.

Info about Tor's various IRC channels can be seen on the Contact page. [10]

Finally, I'm cc'ing Phoul (Colin Childs) on this email. (He's a member on the community team, so would probably see this thread, but a cc can't hurt!)

Phoul is Tor's Relay Advocate - whose very role it is to foster and support the relay-operator community! He wrote an intro on the Tor blog last year that you may want to check out. [11]

I'm not on IRC much presently, but I'd suggest you try to reach out to him either there, on the tor-relays email list, or privately via email if you prefer.

Back when I was more active, there were even IRC meetings for relay operators - those may still be going on. I'm sure Phoul could chime in there :).

Also feel free also to contribute to this email list (tor-community-team), but note that this team is focused on the Tor community at large - not just the relay-operators "subcommunity" - so conversations on this list are typically broader in nature.

Thanks, and once again: welcome! Dave
