Hi, I'm an Italian developer who want to help development and grow up the Tor network. I would like to share with you an idea to grow up the Tor Network. Working with Docker, i have released two images, a Tor Exit Relay image (named "tor-relay") and an image (named "torworld-template"). The idea is to use Docker and build images for facilitate users to run a Tor Relay or an Hidden Service. The two images are located on Docker Hub in this locations:
Tor Exit Relay: https://hub.docker.com/r/alessandrofiori/tor-relay Tor Machine Template: https://hub.docker.com/r/alessandrofiori/torworld-template
If you want to see how the images are built, please check the following Dockerfile
Tor Exit Relay: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/randomtable/ChimeraOS/master/DockerFile-To... Tor Machine Template: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/randomtable/ChimeraOS/master/DockerFile-To...
If you want to see how i automate the build and push process, please check the following script:
Process with system cleanup: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/randomtable/ChimeraOS/master/build-script.... Process for rolling release: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/randomtable/ChimeraOS/master/build-rolling...
Actually i'm working in a Windows environment, i will release ubuntu scripts soon.
I would like to share with everyone, so if this can be helpful, this can be a starting point for build up images for help people to run relays or hidden services.
This kind of approach can be reduce costs for people who want to run a relay or an hidden service, and can be an help for building a more censorship-resistant platform, by using a Docker Swarm, and replicating instances.
Waiting for your reply as soon as possible, i'm very curious if this project can be helpful for Tor Project!
Kind regards (and thanks for your hard work) Alessandro Fiori
