Developers only! Risk of Tor over Tor!
Notes[edit]
- Qubes-Whonix ™ users should consider creating a separate, cloned
whonix-ws-16-onionshareTemplate before installing OnionShare/flatpak. - OnionShare from the Debian stable repository is suitable for most users. Flatpak can be utilized for later OnionShare versions; v2.4 is packaged at the time of writing. [1]
[edit]
Install onionshare via flatpak.
1. Add flathub repository. [2]
Non-Qubes-Whonix ™:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Qubes-Whonix ™ (in the anon-whonix App Qube):
flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
2. Install the flatpak onionshare package.
Non-Qubes-Whonix ™:
flatpak install flathub org.onionshare.onionshare
Qubes-Whonix ™ (in the anon-whonix App Qube):
flatpak --user install flathub org.onionshare.onionshare
Done. The procedure of installing onionshare is complete.
3. Upgrades notice.
Note: this procedure will not keep the software up-to-date. How to update installation installed by flatpak is also documented on the Operating System Software and Updates wiki page.
Debugging[edit]
To see what's happening "under the hood".
uwtwrapper_verbose=1 onionshare
View listener.
netstat -tulpen
Should show Local Address 0.0.0.0, meaning listening on all interfaces which is required in case of Whonix ™ so onionshare running inside Whonix-Workstation ™ can be reached from Whonix-Gateway ™. (As opposed to onionshare running on a host without Whonix ™ where it should listen on localhost 127.0.0.1 onl.y
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State User Inode PID/Program name [...] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:17605 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1000 30959 4009/python3
uwt [archive] and bindp [archive] is no longer required since Whonix ™ 16 (Debian bullseye based).
