Uso avanzado

Guardar pestañas

Al cerrar las pestañas de OnionShare que alojas, se destruyen y se impide su reutilización. Los sitios web alojados de forma persistente están disponibles en la misma dirección incluso si se reinicia el ordenador desde el que se comparten.

Se hace cualquier pestaña persistente al cliquear en la casilla «Abrir siempre esta pestaña cuando se inicie OnionShare» antes de iniciar tu servidor.

Al abrir OnionShare, se abrirán las pestañas guardadas de la sesión anterior. Luego, cada servicio se puede iniciar manualmente y estará disponible en la misma dirección de OnionShare y protegido por la misma clave privada.

Si guarda una pestaña, se almacenará en su ordeandor una copia de la clave secreta de onion service.

Desactivar la Clave Privada

Por defecto, todos los servicios de OnionShare están protegidos con una clave privada, que Tor llama «autenticación de cliente».

The Tor Browser will ask you to enter your private key when you load an OnionShare service. If you want to allow the public to use your service, it’s better to disable the private key altogether.

Para desactivar la clave privada en cualquier pestaña, marque la casilla «Este es un servicio público de OnionShare (deshabilita la clave privada)» antes de iniciar el servidor. Entonces el servidor será público y no necesitará una clave privada para verlo en el Navegador Tor.

Títulos Personalizados

Cuando las personas carguen un servicio de OnionShare en el navegador Tor verán el título predeterminado para cada tipo de servicio. Por ejemplo, el título predeterminado de un servicio de chat es «OnionShare Chat».

Si edita la configuración de «Título personalizado» antes de iniciar un servidor, puede cambiarla.

Tiempos programados

OnionShare admite la temporización exacta de cuándo debe iniciarse y detenerse un servicio. Antes de iniciar un servidor, clic en «Mostrar ajustes avanzados» en su pestaña, y luego se marca la casilla próxima a «Iniciar el servicio onion en el tiempo programado», o «Detener el servicio onion en el tiempo programado», o ambas, y establece las fechas y horas deseadas.

Services scheduled to start in the future display a countdown timer when the «Start sharing» button is clicked. Services scheduled to stop in the future display a countdown timer when started.

Programar un servicio de OnionShare para que se inicie automáticamente se puede usar como un dispositivo HM. Esto significa que tu servicio será público en un momento dado en el futuro si no lo detiene. Si no pasa nada, puedes cancelar el servicio antes de que esté empiece.

Programar un servicio OnionShare para que se detenga automáticamente limita su exposición. Si desea compartir información secreta o algo que se desactualizará, puede hacerlo por un tiempo limitado seleccionado.

Interfaz de línea de comando

Además de su interfaz gráfico, OnionShare tiene una de línea de comando.

Installing the CLI version

If you have installed the Snap, macOS or Windows package, you already have the CLI version installed.

Alternatively, you can install just the command-line version of OnionShare using pip3:

pip3 install --user onionshare-cli

Ten en cuenta que también necesitarás el paquete tor instalado. En macOS, instálalo con: brew install tor

Luego, ejecútalo así:

onionshare-cli --help

Para información sobre cómo instalarlo en diferentes sistemas operativos, consulte el archivo README de CLI <https://github.com/onionshare/onionshare/blob/develop/cli/README.md> _ en el repositorio de Git.

Running the CLI from Snap

If you installed OnionShare using the Snap package, you can run onionshare.cli to access the command-line interface version.

Running the CLI from macOS

From Terminal, you can run /Applications/OnionShare.app/Contents/MacOS/onionshare-cli --help

Running the CLI from Windows

In the Windows installation, the executable onionshare-cli.exe is available.

Running the CLI as a systemd unit file

It is possible to automatically start OnionShare from the CLI using a systemd unit file.

You may find this particularly useful if you are operating in “persistent” mode, and want to start the same onion service every time your machine starts.

To do this, you need to prepare some OnionShare json config first.

Here is the main OnionShare config. In this example, it’s stored in /home/user/.config/onionshare/onionshare.json. You may need to adjust some of the settings, but if you already have OnionShare installed, it probably looks much like this already:

{
  "version": "2.6.2",
  "connection_type": "bundled",
  "control_port_address": "127.0.0.1",
  "control_port_port": 9051,
  "socks_address": "127.0.0.1",
  "socks_port": 9050,
  "socket_file_path": "/var/run/tor/control",
  "auth_type": "no_auth",
  "auth_password": "",
  "auto_connect": true,
  "use_autoupdate": true,
  "autoupdate_timestamp": null,
  "bridges_enabled": false,
  "bridges_type": "built-in",
  "bridges_builtin_pt": "obfs4",
  "bridges_moat": "",
  "bridges_custom": "",
  "bridges_builtin": {},
  "persistent_tabs": [
      "my-persistent-onion"
  ],
  "locale": "en",
  "theme": 0
}

Notice the “persistent_tabs” section. We will now create a file at /home/user/.config/onionshare/persistent/my-persistent-onion.json, that looks like this:

{
  "onion": {
      "private_key": "UDIaZD8QgoXRP8JnAJ+pnlogQazfZ0wrfWJk5zPBGUBqg6+lozzjUJKTYWxwrxR33pDgJdTFtCUN1CX1FE22UQ==",
      "client_auth_priv_key": "RHJSN4VI3NKGDSIWK45CCWTLYOJHA6DQQRQXUID3FXMAILYXWVUQ",
      "client_auth_pub_key": "J4YLYAHS25UU3TZTE27H32RN3MCRGLR345U52XS2JNQ76CCHCRSQ"
  },
  "persistent": {
      "mode": "share",
      "enabled": true
  },
  "general": {
      "title": null,
      "public": false,
      "autostart_timer": 0,
      "autostop_timer": 0,
      "service_id": "niktadkcp6z7rym3r5o3j2hnmis53mno5ughvur357xo7jkjvmqrchid",
      "qr": false
  },
  "share": {
     "autostop_sharing": true,
     "filenames": [
       "/home/user/my-shared-file.txt"
     ]
  },
  "receive": {
     "data_dir": "/home/user/OnionShare",
     "webhook_url": null,
     "disable_text": false,
     "disable_files": false
  },
  "website": {
     "disable_csp": false,
     "custom_csp": null,
     "filenames": []
  },
  "chat": {}
}

Don’t actually use this private key, service_id or client_auth keys! They are shown only as an example. Never share the private_key with anyone.

The easiest way to generate the onion address and private key is to first create a “pinned” OnionShare tab in the desktop app and started the share for the first time. This will then have saved the persistent settings to your .config/onionshare/persistent/ folder with a random name. You can unpin that tab once you’ve generated it the first time. Or, you can leave it where it is, and use that persistent file in your systemd unit file below.

Now you can create a systemd unit file in /etc/systemd/system/onionshare-cli.service. Be sure to adjust the User and Group to your own user/group, as well as changes to any paths to the onionshare-cli binary or the paths to your JSON configs and shares.

The systemd unit file should look like this:

[Unit]
Description=OnionShare CLI
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/home/user/.local/bin/onionshare-cli --persistent /home/user/.config/onionshare/persistent/my-persistent-onion.json /home/user/my-shared-file.txt
Restart=on-failure
User=user
Group=user

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Note that although /home/user/my-shared-file.txt was defined in the filenames section of the my-persistent-onion.json file, it’s still necessary to specify it as the argument to the onionshare-cli command.

Be sure to run sudo systemctl daemon-reload after creating the unit file.

Now you can run sudo systemctl start onionshare-cli.service. If you have journalctl installed, you can run sudo journalctl -f -t onionshare-cli, and you should see some output of your service starting:

[...]
Feb 09 10:14:09 onionshare onionshare-cli[18852]: [6.5K blob data]
Feb 09 10:14:18 onionshare onionshare-cli[18852]: Compressing files.
Feb 09 10:14:18 onionshare onionshare-cli[18852]: Give this address and private key to the recipient:

Feb 09 10:14:18 onionshare onionshare-cli[18852]: Private key: RHJSN4VI3NKGDSIWK45CCWTLYOJHA6DQQRQXUID3FXMAILYXWVUQ
Feb 09 10:14:18 onionshare onionshare-cli[18852]: Press Ctrl+C to stop the server

If you don’t want your users to use a Private Key, set public to be true in the general settings of the my-persistent-onion.json file.

Atajos de teclado

La aplicación de escritorio OnionShare contiene algunos atajos de teclado, para mayor comodidad y accesibilidad:

Ctrl T - New Tab
Ctrl X - Closes current tab

Y desde la pantalla principal del selector de modo:

Ctrl S - Share mode

Migrating your OnionShare data to another computer

You may want to migrate your OnionShare data when switching to another computer. This is especially true if you had a “persistent” onion address and you want to preserve it.

OnionShare stores all such data in a specific folder. Copy the relevant folder for your operating system below, to your new computer:

Linux: ~/.config/onionshare

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/OnionShare

Windows: %APPDATA%\OnionShare

Configuration file parameters

OnionShare stores its settings in a JSON file. Both the CLI and the Desktop versions use this configuration file. The CLI also lets you specify a path to a custom configuration file with --config.

Below are the configuration file parameters and what they mean. If your configuration file has other parameters not listed here, they may be obsolete from older OnionShare versions.

Parameter	Type	Explanation
version	`string`	The version of OnionShare. You should not ever need to change this value.
connection_type	`string`	The way in which OnionShare connects to Tor. Valid options are “bundled”, “automatic” (use Tor Browser’s Tor connection), “control_port” or “socket_file”. Default: “bundled”
control_port_address	`string`	The IP address of Tor’s Control port, if `connection_type` is set to “control_port”. Default: “127.0.0.1”
control_port_port	`integer`	The port number of Tor’s Control port, if `connection_type` is set to “control_port”. Default: “9051”
socks_address	`string`	The IP address of Tor’s SOCKS proxy, if `connection_type` is set to “control_port” or “socket_file”. Default: “127.0.0.1”
socks_port	`integer`	The port number of Tor’s SOCKS proxy, if `connection_type` is set to “control_port” or “socket_file”. Default: “”9050”
socket_file_path	`string`	The path to Tor’s socket file, if `connection_type` is set to “socket_file”. Default: “/var/run/tor/control”
auth_type	`string`	If access to Tor’s control port requires a password, this can be set to “password”, otherwise “no_auth”. Default: “no_auth”
auth_password	`string`	If access to Tor’s control port requires a password, and `auth_type` is set to “password”, specify the password here. Default: “”
auto_connect	`boolean`	Whether OnionShare should automatically connect to Tor when it starts. Default: False
use_autoupdate	`boolean`	Whether OnionShare should automatically check for updates (over Tor). This setting is only valid for MacOS or Windows installations. Default: True.
autoupdate_timestamp	`integer`	The last time OnionShare checked for updates. Default: None
bridges_enabled	`boolean`	Whether to connect to Tor using bridges. Default: False
bridges_type	`string`	When `bridges_enabled` is True, where to load bridges from. Options are «built-in» (bridges shipped with OnionShare and which may get updated from Tor), «moat» (request bridges from Tor’s Moat API), or «custom» (user-supplied bridges). Default: «built-in»
bridges_builtin_pt	`string`	When `bridges_type` is set to «built-in», this specifies which type of bridge protocol to use. Options are «obfs4», «meek-azure» or «snowflake». Default: «obfs4»

bridges_custom	`string`	When `bridges_type` is set to «custom», the bridges specified by the user are stored here. Separate each bridge line in the string with “n”. Default: «»
bridges_builtin	`dict`	When `bridges_type` is set to «built-in», OnionShare obtains the latest built-in bridges recommended by Tor and stores them here. Default: {}
persistent_tabs	`list`	If the user has defined any tabs as “saved” (meaning that they are persistent each time OnionShare starts, and their onion address doesn’t change), these are given a random identifier which gets listed here. The persistent onion is stored as a JSON file with the same name as this identifier, in a subfolder of the OnionShare configuration folder called “persistent”. Default: []
locale	`string`	The locale used in OnionShare. Default: None (which is the same as “en”). For valid locale codes, see “available_locales” in https://github.com/onionshare/onionshare/blob/main/cli/onionshare_cli/settings.py
theme	`boolean`	The theme for the OnionShare desktop app. Valid options are 0 (automatically detect the user’s computer’s light or dark theme), 1 (light) or 2 (dark).

Configuration file parameters for persistent onions

As described above, each “persistent” onion has parameters of its own which are stored in its own JSON file. The path to this file can be specified for the CLI tool with --persistent.

Here is an example persistent JSON configuration:
