Due to a template mistake, the instructions referenced in the OP do not show up when installing the container (PR has been issued).  What you're missing is

 

Quote

This docker image will install the latest current stable version of Tor server. It will run Tor as an unprivileged regular user, as recommended by torproject.org.

It includes the latest Tor Debian package from torproject.org which is installed and configured according the Tor project recommendations. Additionally it can be run as a hidden bridge using obfs4proy as well as meek.

The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more people who run relays, the faster the Tor network will be. If you have at least 2 megabits/s for both upload and download, please help out Tor by configuring your server to be a Tor relay too.

INSTALLATION:

Create a folder appdata/tor-data/config

Download sample Config: https://github.com/maschhoff/docker/tree/master/tor-relay

Edit the config at least NICKNAME and CONTACTINFO in the config file

Put this into the config folder.

Edit the docker parameters and run it.

Thansk knex666. I grabbed the new container and configure it. It fails to start as the user "tord" doesn't exist.

 


Feb 07 11:10:13.285 [warn] Error setting configured user: tord not found

Do you know the correct user?

The user is "debian-tor". The included torrc needs to have the line "User tord" changed to "User debian-tor"

Hi, 

I've tried to install the Tor Relay Docker but had a problem: 

 

When I start the container it crashes and the log says: "cat: /etc/tor/torrc: No such file or directory" 

I copied the torrc file in the "appdata/tor-data/config" folder and the path should be correct. 

Also the update statu so f the container can't be checked. 

 

What file-type should the torrc file have? 

Can someone help me? 


Thank you

The description on how to run it is not accurate anymore but it's pretty easy:

1 . Open a terminal and create the folder and sub-folder

mkdir mnt/user/appdata/tor-relay

mkdir mnt/user/appdata/tor-relay/config
2. Create the config file by opening it with nano

nano mnt/user/appdata/tor-relay/config/torrc

3. Copy-paste the configuration information from here https://github.com/DarkIsDude/tor-server#tor-configuration and change whatever you want there.

4. Save the file and start the docker
