[tor-dev] tor-dev Digest, Vol 98, Issue 18

Sat Mar 30 01:51:28 UTC 2019

Hi, and thanks for replying!
I have built another image, for Non-Exit relays.

Essentially, the Dockerfile is the same to the Dockerfile for build an Exit
Relay, i have added the command for uncomment "ExitRelay 0" line in the
torrc file.

I have modified the Hidden Service image too, providing only the Hidden
Service without opening ports, reducing the attack surface.

Because the images are built separately, and Containers doesn't have
persistent data by default, i'm testing the launch of a "relay swarm",
which isn't the "Docker Swarm".
The concept of a "Relay swarm" is to have multiple running relay containers
on the same user machine, without any conflict.

The idea (i will testing it very soon) is possible, by pulling an image and
running it multiple times, creating intermetiate containers.

A function like the "relay swarm" can be very useful, i don't know if this
approach can be risky, so i'm preparing a script for launching only one
type of relay swarm (middle or exit relays).

If there is no security concerns, this function will be a very key function
for grow up the Network, because a user can run multiple relays at a time.

I'm presenting this project to the large community, so i can receive
feedback and take actions in case of issues.

Kind regards,

Alessandro Fiori
