justinhimself/tor-privoxy repository overview

⁠Tor Privoxy

This image combines Tor and Privoxy services to prepare proxy connection for http and shell.

⁠Getting started

⁠Installation

Automated builds of the image are available on Dockerhub⁠ and is the recommended method of installation.

docker pull justinhimself/tor-privoxy

Alternatively you can build the image yourself.

docker build -t justinhimself/tor-privoxy https://github.com/justinhimself/docker-autobuild.git#master:tor-privoxy

⁠Quick Start

docker run --name='tor-privoxy' -d \
  -p 9050:9050 \
  -p 9051:9051 \
  -p 8118:8118 \
justinhimself/tor-privoxy:latest

The exposed ports are:

• 9050: Tor proxy (SOCKS5)
• 9051: Tor control port
• 8118: Privoxy (HTTP Proxy)

You can make tor config and data dir persistent and add you own config.

docker run --name='tor-privoxy' -d \
  -p 9050:9050 \
  -p 9051:9051 \
  -p 8118:8118 \
  -v tor_config:/etc/tor \
  -v tor_data:/var/lib/tor \
justinhimself/tor-privoxy:latest

If container finds your tor_config dir is empty, it will automatically create default torrc.
