# docker-tor-hidden-service

Create a tor hidden service with a link

```sh
# run a container with a network application
$ docker run -d --name hello_world tutum/hello_world

# and just link it to this container
$ docker run -ti --link hello_world goldy/tor-hidden-service
```

The .onion URLs are displayed to stdout at startup.

To keep onion keys, just mount volume `/var/lib/tor/hidden_service/`

```sh
$ docker run -ti --link something --volume /path/to/keys:/var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ goldy/tor-hidden-service
```

Look at the `docker-compose.yml` file to see how to use it.

### Tools

A command line tool `onions` is available in container to get `.onion` url when container is running.

```sh
# Get services
$ docker exec -ti torhiddenproxy_tor_1 onions
hello: vegm3d7q64gutl75.onion
world: b2sflntvdne63amj.onion

# Get json
$ docker exec -ti torhiddenproxy_tor_1 onions --json
{"world": "b2sflntvdne63amj.onion", "hello": "vegm3d7q64gutl75.onion"}
```
