allow for onion domain support

[adison]

hello.
in the event you either don't have a domain, or would like people to access your site using the tor network, i request that there be a feature that alllows for people to use onion domains.
wile there are bad things on onion domains, there are legitimate uses for them.
as an example, 1might use an onion domain to circumvent censorship.
thanks
cloudron should editionally be generating the onion domain for you because they are free and easy to generate

I am not really familiar with onion domains, have only used those years ago to try things. Lets see how much interest this sparks then we can see if it is feasible to support.

AFAIK, to host an onion domain the server has to become a tor node . Is this correct?

[adison]

personally, when i have made tor onion addresses, i was never expected to make an onion node. all i really did was uncomment a few lines, started the tor service, and went

@robi sorry if i just only now got to your message, but i must ask, what is this?
if i were to do things manually, i would have to go to every docker container, and would have to set things up myself. i cant just do it on the main system, as that might break a few things.

[adison]

and won't this break things?

@adison I assume @robi answer was more of a documentation nature so developers have some tools at hand.
Or not @robi?

Right, it's docs to help folks get more familiar.

I managed to set one up in the LAMP app, but it wasn't easy. Having it system wide would be excellent.

[adison]

however, i have tryed to follow the docs.
however, when trying to get into a test application i made for this perpus, it didn't work and it kept telling me that it didn't exist, even when typing in the12diget ID. i couldn't bash into it. so yeah. and if i attempted to put this on the system itself, that could cause many problems, or potentially break cloudron.
