Unofficial mirror on the *.onion network (tor)
 
Hey y'all,

While I'm thinking of new/updated things, wanted to make folks aware of an available slackware mirror on the onion network.

http://slack64y3pqluw32.onion/

More information here: http://www.slackware.com/~vbatts/tor/

Very interesting.

If someone needs to set up a mirror site on the Tor Network, what's the process? Can someone look uphttp://slack64y3pqluw32.onion/ and trace you as the owner? Does tor have it's own dns?

To run a tor HiddenService is just a matter of installing Tor, update the torrc config file to expose that port and associate it with a directory to host the RSA key for the service.
The "DNS" name is not traditional DNS, but a base32 encoded pointer to the checksum of the RSA key running the service. It is part of the Tor protocol to validate the key and establish the socket for a rendezvous if it checks out.
More info here https://www.torproject.org/docs/hidden-services

Nice :), anyway we could encourage the maintainer to mirror slackwarearm as well?

Thank you, all this is very interesting. I just downloaded Tor browser, which allows me to connect to your repository. Tor browser does not require tor and torsocks, doesn't?

It doesn't need them, the browser bundle is designed to be portable (run from a usb stick for example). The separate tor package is only needed if you want to run tor as a system daemon.

If you set slackpkg to use this Tor mirror, you would need to install the tor package and enable the service however.

Can the admin of the mirror please check its health? It has not been updated since August 2nd

anon070 09-06-2017 01:34 PM
This is working again B)

Sorry, I missed this. LQ hadn't sent me messages of replies :-\
I've added slackwarearm 14.2 and current to the config. They'll be syncing out now.

Tor Browser (TTB) comes with its own tor service. You can run it at the same time as regular tor if you like though.

The rsync link for the mirror is not working.

vbatts 12-14-2020 02:22 PM
@slackcoder, sorry. I didn't notice that I had not made the rsyncd stay attached to the parent PID, so that container was just rolling 🙄

It's up now.

Code:
torsocks rsync 7oqabxbkksriopx34gnafj34rycgv6s6qjt5rszgomj5hm3z3adza5ad.onion::slackware
drwxr-xr-x          4,096 2020/06/16 17:51:13 .
drwxr-xr-x          4,096 2020/06/16 17:51:13 bear.alienbase.nl
drwxr-xr-x          4,096 2020/06/16 17:51:13 ftp.arm.slackware.com

This line throws up silly errors here. Do I need torsocks separately from the browser?
