Primary LanguageShell

SocaTor = SOCAT + TOR

Based on https://github.com/Arno0x/Docker-Socator

Forked from https://github.com/beacloudgenius/socator

It uses socat to listen on a given TCP port (TCP_LISTEN_PORT 5001 in this example) and to redirect incoming traffic to a tor hidden service specified through environment variables. Itacts as a relay between the standard web and a hidden service on the tor network. You can optionally restrict the IP addresses that are allowed to connect to this service by specifying an ALLOWED_RANGE environment variable and using CIDR notation.

Usage

Break free from cloud services providers limitations, secure and protect your bitcoin full node, connect that with a BTC Pay server, all behind TOR. Selectively expose the BTC Pay Server payment gateway and API to clearnet using socat+tor running on the Internet.

Start the image in background (daemon mode) with IP address restriction:
docker run -d \
    -p 5001:5001 \
    -e "TCP_LISTEN_PORT=5001" \
    -e "ALLOWED_RANGE=192.168.1.0/24" \
    -e "TOR_SITE=zqktlwiuavvvqqt4ybvgvi7tyo4hjl5xgfuvpdf6otjiycgwqbym2qad.onion" \
    -e "TOR_SITE_PORT=80" \
    --name socator \
    danielpcostas/socator
Start the image in foreground:
docker run --rm -ti \
    -p 5001:5001 \
    -e "TCP_LISTEN_PORT=5001" \
    -e "TOR_SITE=zqktlwiuavvvqqt4ybvgvi7tyo4hjl5xgfuvpdf6otjiycgwqbym2qad.onion" \
    -e "TOR_SITE_PORT=80" \
    --name socator \
    danielpcostas/socator

Now http://localhost:5001 should show you the tor hidden service you specified in the above command.
