| | | | | Make it stash the address away for git-annex p2p to use later, rather than outputting it. And, look up the UUID itself.

* use socket for tor hidden serviceGravatar Joey Hess2016-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This avoids needing to bind to the right port before something else does. The socket is in /var/run/user/$uid/ which ought to be writable by only that uid. At least it is on linux systems using systemd. For Windows, may need to revisit this and use ports or something. The first version of tor to support sockets for hidden services was 0.2.6.3. That is not in Debian stable, but is available in backports. This commit was sponsored by andrea rota.
* git-annex enable-tor commandGravatar Joey Hess2016-11-14
Tor unfortunately does not come out of the box configured to let hidden services register themselves on the fly via the ControlPort. And, changing the config to enable the ControlPort and a particular type of auth for it may break something already using the ControlPort, or lessen the security of the system. So, this leaves only one option to us: Add a hidden service to the torrc. git-annex enable-tor does so, and picks an unused high port for tor to listen on for connections to the hidden service. It's up to the caller to somehow pick a local port to listen on that won't be used by something else. That may be difficult to do.. This commit was sponsored by Jochen Bartl on Patreon.
