Description
Now that #2788 has landed, one remaining task for #517 (Tor support) is to explain how to setup Tor-only servers. The process is:
- choose LOCAL port, choose TORPORT numbers
- configure Tor to point an onion address (+TORPORT) at localhost:LOCAL
- restart Tor, learn the ONION address
- edit tahoe.cfg to set tub.port to tcp:LOCAL:interface=127.0.0.1
- set tub.location to tor:ONION.onion:TORPORT
- maybe set anonymous=true (#1010)
We should also include some docs on how to test that it's working. The welcome page shows what IP address is used for current connections: it should be localhost (for outbound SOCKS connections, or inbound connections from the Tor daemon that originated as .onion connections).
It should also have some pointers on how to install the necessary libraries: pip install tahoe-lafs[tor], and apt-get install tor, or running the Tor Browser Bundle.
