FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY

The information in this wiki hasn't been maintained for a good while. Some of the projects described have since been deprecated.

In particular, the "Ushahidi Platform v3.x" section contains information that is often misleading. Many details about this version of Platform have changed since.

This website is an extraction of the original Ushahidi wiki into a static form. Because of that, functions like logging in, commenting or searching will not work.

Then execute the following commands:

echo deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org oneiric main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89
gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install deb.torproject.org-keyring tor

Configure Hidden Service

Assuming your web server is running under port 80, execute the following commands:

echo HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/ushahidi_hidden_service/ >> /etc/tor/torrc
echo HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 >> /etc/tor/torrc
/etc/init.d/tor restart

You now have a .onion set up. To find the hostname, type:

cat /var/lib/tor/ushahidi_hidden_service/hostname
