Self-hostable SelfPrivacy via Tor
Making SelfPrivacy Resilient and Self-hostable via Tor with self-signed SSL certificates.
This project aims at making SelfPrivacy and similar solutions self-hostable over Tor. SelfPrivacy is a reproducible, free and open source self-hosting stack based on NixOS that helps you set up and manage your self-hosted services. It installs open source services such as E-Mail, Nextcloud, Jitsi, etc. SelfPrivacy and automates the entire lifecycle: provisioning, updates, configuration changes, monitoring, backups and space management. Currently, you need to register with a provider and copy the access token into the SelfPrivacy application.
By making it self-hostable over Tor, anyone can run it on any old laptop, without having to register anywhere. Additionally, it removes any financial barrier to trying out and/or using SelfPrivacy. Instead of having to register, you can generate the private and public key pair for a new onion domain or enter a private key of a previously discovered onion domain. This project will also allow you to run SelfPrivacy on your own domain over HTTPS and intends to generalise the support for alternative nets, such that support for for example Freenet, Hyphanet, Yggdrasil etc. can be easily added.
