# OnionShare
|
||
|
|
OnionShare is an open source tool that lets you securely and anonymously share files, host websites, and chat with friends using the Tor network.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add repository and install packages
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:micahflee/ppa
|
||
|
|
sudo apt update
|
||
|
|
sudo apt install -y onionshare tor python3 python3-pip
|
||
|
|
# install the cli
|
||
|
|
pip3 install --user onionshare-cli
|
||
|
|
# add path to shell
|
||
|
|
echo "PATH=\$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
|
||
|
|
source ~/.bashrc
|
||
|
|
# run it
|
||
|
|
onionshare-cli --help
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are different options like running a chat server
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
onionshare-cli --chat
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Load the shown OnionShare address in Tor Browser to make sure it works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## persistent anonymous dropbox
|
||
|
|
Let people anonymously upload files to your RPi, make the adress persistent and make it public (without password protection). With this setup everybody can share files with the RPi.
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
onionshare-cli --receive --persistent ~/anon-dropbox.session --public
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Be aware that users now can upload malicious content to your RPi so make sure the directory is not executable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## multiplex your screen
|
||
|
|
The onionshare service will stop as the SSH connection is closed or command is stopped. To prevent that use a terminal multiplexer like `screen`
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo apt install -y screen
|
||
|
|
# run it
|
||
|
|
screen
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
At the bottom of the screen is a new bar with `0 bash` highlighted. This means we are in a screen session.
|
||
|
|
Now running onionshare and exiting the SSH session should not end the onionshare service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After logging in again reconnect to the session with `screen -x`
|
