Docker Tor-Relay

Docker image based on the latest stable-slim Debian image to run Tor as a relay and bridge.

You can build the image by the Dockerfile or just download it from Docker Hub:

• https://hub.docker.com/r/fortu/tor-relay

In this repository you will find a template of the requested torrc configuration file to run tor. You can use it as a template or just use as it is. Because is totally functional, but I recommend to customize to make it unique and yours.

How to create a container from this image

Easy, just run the command below by changing the torrc configuration file path and the folder where all tor generated files will be save. This folder is very important because the fingerprint, the ID of your relay, will be stored there. This is files are needed to restore your relay after a tor software update or if you want to move the relay to another computer.

docker run --name='tor-relay' \
-p '9001:9001/tcp' \
-p '9030:9030/tcp' \
-p '9050:9050/tcp' \
-p '8024:8024/tcp' \
-v '[PATH OF torrc FILE]':'/etc/tor/':'rw' \
-v '[DATA DIRECTORY]':'/var/lib/tor':'rw' \
'fortu/tor-relay'

The launcher inside the container will check if the required torrc file exist. This file is necessary to run tor. If it doesn't, a template will be download from this git repository. The template itself is totally functional, so in case of run the container for the first time or the torrc file doesn't exist because has been deleted, it will be downloaded automatically.

I highly recommend to customize the torrc file with you info to make it unique.

Be aware that if you are behind a NAT or Firewall you have to open this TCP ports:

• 9091/TCP
• 9030/TCP
• 8024/TCP

Let's make Internet more anonymous!
