Could be possible to host on serverless/heroku?
Hi I need a tor proxy, but not always on. I was researching how to make ti work in serveless fashion (eg. Lambda + Api Gateway) but seems impossibile.
Do you think could be possible to host it on Heorku like platform? Thanks
@tiero: As far that it can run Debian Buster (10) yes.
Which is the use case if i may ask?
TL;DR I want to parasitize free tiers of cloud providers, without paying for a machine always on.
Long story:
I have development machines at "home", where I don't have a public ip address, to overcome this an Onion service solved it. The problem is that in is some context I don't have the possibility to run a tor client (eg. CI pipelines) so a simple tor proxy should work.
I don't want to use public tor2web websites if I can and also most of them don't support yet v3 onion services.
I saw that building from master should be possible, so I was looking into Heroku, and I was asking if other already did it before.
I see, i do not think so but please let us know if your experiment proceed well and we would be happy to publish scripts for heroku officially.
The problem is that, afaik, you can't run native code on Heroku, so you could run Python but you wont be able to execute Tor, that's a dependency of Tor2web as a third party independent native code software executable.
I saw that using buuldpacks something can be worked out eg. https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/todokku/heroku-buildpack-tor-proxy
I'll try to experiment and keep you posted

If you make it working, it means that we will be able also to run GlobaLeaks on Heroku https://github.com/globaleaks/globaleaks and as you can make it i'll offer a huge dinner! :>
