Tor federation

Tor-only instance

Install Tor.

Install Mitra. Uncomment or add the following block to Mitra configuration file:

federation:
  proxy_url: 'socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050'

Where 127.0.0.1:9050 is the address and the port where Tor proxy is listening.

Configure the onion service by adding these lines to torrc configuration file:

HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/mitra/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:8383

Where 8383 should correspond to http_port setting in Mitra configuration file.

Restart the Tor service. Inside the HiddenServiceDir directory find the hostname file. This file contains the hostname of your onion service. Change the value of instance_uri parameter in Mitra configuration file to that hostname (it should end with .onion).

Start Mitra.

Clearnet instances can federate with Tor-only instances.

Add the following block to Mitra configuration file:

federation:
  onion_proxy_url: 'socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050'

Where 127.0.0.1:9050 is the address and the port where Tor proxy is listening.
