Docktor

Docktor allows you to host a darkweb hidden service by connecting to Tor only over the docker0 interface. The container proxies Tor traffic to its own localhost via nginx and serves up the content in the hiddenservice directory, via host/container volume mapping as the nginx document root.

No ports are mapped between the host and the container, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to lock down the docker0 interface using iptables for good measure, but there are zero clearnet ports exposed in this setup.


Install via GitHub

  • git clone https://github.com/phx/docktor.git
  • cd docktor
  • docker build -t docktor.img .
  • docker run -d -v "${PWD}/hiddenservice:/var/www/hiddenservice" --name docktor docktor.img

Install via DockerHub

  • mkdir -p hiddenservice
  • touch hiddenservice/error.html
  • echo 'Welcome to the darkweb.' > hiddenservice/index.html
  • docker run -d -v "${PWD}/hiddenservice:/var/www/hiddenservice" --name docktor lphxl/docktor:latest

Your .onion hostname will be listed in ./hiddenservice/hostname, which you can access over Tor to view the content served in that directory.


Notes

Anytime you remove the container and start a new one using the docker run command, your .onion hostname will change.

If you want to keep serving content from the same Tor domain, keep the same container and just use the normal Docker commands:

  • docker stop docktor
  • docker start docktor
  • docker exec -it docktor /bin/bash (to exec into the container)

I will post additional instructions for running this after I push it to DockerHub and will also consider writing a docker-compose file.
