Tor Tutorial

Self-Hosting a Wiki on a Tor Hidden Service

Community wikis, research notebooks, internal documentation - all benefit from being accessible only through a .onion address when audience is privacy-conscious. AnubizHost offshore VPS supports MediaWiki, DokuWiki and BookStack deployments behind Tor hidden services.

Need this done for your project?

We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.

Start a Brief

Wiki Engine Choice

MediaWiki - heavy but feature-complete, runs Wikipedia. DokuWiki - file-based, no DB, easy to back up. BookStack - modern UI, MySQL backend. Pick by complexity tolerance.

Tor Setup

nginx in front of the wiki on 127.0.0.1, Tor HiddenServiceDir pointing at nginx, .onion generated by Tor on first start.

Hardening

Disable wiki account self-registration. Use mTLS for admin access. Strip exif from uploaded images. Disable absolute clearnet links in wiki config.
