Re: [tor-dev] tor-dev Digest, Vol 98, Issue 18

Hi, and thanks for replying!

I have built another image, for Non-Exit relays.

Essentially, the Dockerfile is the same to the Dockerfile for build an Exit Relay, i have added the command for uncomment "ExitRelay 0" line in the torrc file.

I have modified the Hidden Service image too, providing only the Hidden Service without opening ports, reducing the attack surface.

Because the images are built separately, and Containers doesn't have persistent data by default, i'm testing the launch of a "relay swarm", which isn't the "Docker Swarm".

The concept of a "Relay swarm" is to have multiple running relay containers on the same user machine, without any conflict.

The idea (i will testing it very soon) is possible, by pulling an image and running it multiple times, creating intermetiate containers.

A function like the "relay swarm" can be very useful, i don't know if this approach can be risky, so i'm preparing a script for launching only one type of relay swarm (middle or exit relays).

If there is no security concerns, this function will be a very key function for grow up the Network, because a user can run multiple relays at a time.

I'm presenting this project to the large community, so i can receive feedback and take actions in case of issues.

Kind regards,

Alessandro Fiori

Hi,

Thanks for this information and putting this together! Making relays
easier to run is always a helpful thing to us.

We have a wiki page to aggregate relay infrastructure projects such as
this. If you can add your projects to this page (and any required
instructions), that would be great.

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/community/relay_infrastructure

Thanks for the contribution!
Chelsea

Hi, and thanks for reply!
I added a line in the dedicated page, and modified the README.md on GitHub
for more specific informations to the users.

I've decided to release two scripts (I'm releasing for Ubuntu too), for run
an Exit Relay or Hidden Service then, with Docker image.

If needed, let me know if there would be useful releasing an image of a
Non-Exit-Relay.

I will add more informations in the following days, for more explanations
and specific infos about building process.
I have decided to release only scripts or text file (for build process and
pull process), and no binaries, to keep processes transparent and
controllable.

The next step for me is writing to forums and IRC, so people can review the
configurations.
I would like to meet the best practices to provide a robust and secure
service under all aspects.

Another further step will be to contact Docker and try to achieve the
"Verified Publisher" or "Official Image" status, to keep the User Trust up.

Official Images have automated security scans, so it can be a benefit to
community.

I hope this can be useful, let me know!

Kind regards (and thanks for your hard work... really!)

Yes, many relay operators will want to run a non-exit relay.
