Storing encrypted files using tor
Safer is a RESTful API written in Python using Flask which is mount it inside a docker container and it’s accessible via Tor. All files are encrypted and can be only decrypted by using a Key; this key is generated from a password. In order download any file you need the ID of the file and the Key. Since the key isn’t stored by the server you will need to save it by yourself. The funny thing is that a Hidden Service is created and an .onion v3 is generated.
First, we need Docker Compose. Please refer to the official documentation here. After installing Docker Compose, clone this repo and move into the safer folder:
$ git clone https://github.com/davidtavarez/safer.git
$ cd safer
Now, we just need to run the manage script
$ bash manage
