ZeroNet
ZeroNet gives access to "open, free and uncensorable websites, using Bitcoin cryptography and the BitTorrent network".
Installation
Install the zeronetAUR package.
The latest development version is also available in the zeronet-gitAUR package
Configuration
Starting
To start ZeroNet start/enable zeronet.service.
Tor
By default, ZeroNet uses clearnet and Tor if available. To enable Tor support you first need to install Tor. Then, give ZeroNet access to control Tor using the following instructions.
# usermod -a -G tor zeronet
Append or edit the following options in /etc/tor/torrc:
/etc/tor/torrc
ControlPort 9051 DataDirectoryGroupReadable 1 CacheDirectoryGroupReadable 1 CookieAuthentication 1 CookieAuthFileGroupReadable 1 CookieAuthFile /var/lib/tor/control_auth_cookie
You may also want to start/enable tor.service.
Check the Tor file permissions:
# stat -c %a /var/lib/tor
This should print 750. if not, run
# chmod 0750 /var/lib/tor
To force all ZeroNet connections through Tor, append to your /etc/zeronet.conf file
/etc/zeronet.conf
tor = always
Creating ZeroNet sites
All operations, including editing ZeroNet site files, should be done as user zeronet. Use --config_file to specify the configuration file. /etc/zeronet.conf use /var/lib/zeronet as data directory by default. For example:
[zeronet]$ python zeronet.py --config_file /etc/zeronet.conf
All sites you create will have their initial data folder setup in /var/lib/zeronet/address. For more information on how to create a Zite, please follow the guidelines on the ZeroNet FAQ.
