The most legalest private file (specifically for manga, anime, music) hosting ever, on TOR. Includes a manga viewer. Nothing fancy. Uses HTTP Basic Authentication with daily rotating password derived from a master password.

Most of the code is a modification of hedgeblog, albeit with some pretty significant modifications in places (templates, host.ts, build.ts).

Since TOR is pretty slow to download large files (eg, videos), the videos are streamed so load time isn't as bad as one might expect (HTTP protocol is amazing, browsers are amazing).

Running

After first cloning or downloading the repository:

npm install
npm install typescript -g
npm run compile
npm run build
# and you may have to do:
mkdir tor
mkdir tor/hidden_service

Don't forget to make a .env file with the master_password variable, from which all the daily passwords are dervied.

Then to actually run:

bash tor_prebuilt.sh

Tips

Adding media

Add it to the relevant static directory (/static_assets/anime_assets, /static_assets/manga_assets, or /static_assets/music_assets), and create an entry for it in host_info.json.

Hosting Multiple TOR Hidden Services

If you are running multiple TOR hidden services, you will need to modify the .torrc file.

Master Password

To set the master password, create a .env file like so:

master_password=example_password_do_not_actually_use_this_as_your_password_obviously

Username

The username doesn't matter. Only the password is important.
