# CyberLux — production on Tor (.onion) This app is designed to run **behind nginx on loopback**, with **one Tor v3 hidden service per logical site** (hub, wiki, dedicated verticals, shadow `/w` node). Nginx listens on `127.0.0.1:8080–8122` (see `scripts/onion-nodes.json`); Tor forwards port 80 on each onion to the matching loopback port. **Next.js binds only `127.0.0.1:3000`** — never expose 3000 or the nginx loopback ports to the public internet. Onion hostnames are **created locally** when Tor first starts; there are no fixed `.onion` URLs in the repo. Back up `/var/lib/tor/*/hs_ed25519_secret_key` (the install flow uses `scripts/backup-onion-keys.sh`). ## One-time server setup (Debian/Ubuntu-style) ```bash sudo apt update sudo apt install -y tor nginx curl nodejs npm build-essential # Or install Node.js LTS from NodeSource / nvm — `node` and `npm` must be on PATH. ``` ## Deploy the app From the repo root (as the user that will own the process): ```bash ./start.sh ``` This will: regenerate Tor/nginx maps from `scripts/onion-nodes.json`, `npm install`, `npm run build`, install Tor+nginx configs (`sudo`), wait for hostname files, print every `.onion` URL, then **foreground** `next start` on `127.0.0.1:3000`. For a **one-shot prepare** (build + Tor/nginx, no Next.js — for systemd): ```bash CYBERLUX_PREPARE_ONLY=1 ./start.sh ``` ## systemd — start on boot 1. Ensure `./start.sh` or `CYBERLUX_PREPARE_ONLY=1 ./start.sh` has been run at least once so `.next` exists and Tor directories are populated. 2. Install the unit (run as root; set user to the account that owns the repo): ```bash sudo CYBERLUX_USER=youruser bash scripts/install-systemd.sh # optional: sudo CYBERLUX_CHOWN_REPO=1 CYBERLUX_USER=youruser bash scripts/install-systemd.sh ``` 3. Enable **Tor**, **nginx**, and **CyberLux** at boot: ```bash sudo systemctl enable tor.service nginx.service cyberlux.service # if your distro uses tor@default instead of tor: # sudo systemctl enable tor@default.service nginx.service cyberlux.service sudo systemctl start tor.service nginx.service cyberlux.service ``` 4. Check logs: ```bash journalctl -u cyberlux.service -f ``` 5. Health check (local): ```bash npm run health:stack ``` 6. **List every `.onion` URL** and **check that each nginx loopback vhost answers** (needs Tor running; use `sudo` if hostname files are root-only): ```bash npm run onions:status # or: sudo node scripts/onion-status.cjs ``` ## Changing the onion map 1. Edit `scripts/onion-nodes.json`. 2. Run `node scripts/generate-onion-config.cjs` (or `npm run build`, which runs it in `prebuild`). 3. `sudo bash scripts/install-tor-onion.sh` 4. Rebuild/restart the app: `npm run build` and `sudo systemctl restart cyberlux.service` ## Verification ```bash npm run verify ``` ## Security & compliance - You are responsible for **local law**, hosting terms, and **Tor / relay policies**. This repo is a **parody web app**; treat operational security seriously if you run it on a real server. ## Security notes - Only **Tor** should be reachable from outside; bind **nothing** to `0.0.0.0` for this stack. - Prefer firewall defaults that deny incoming except what you need for SSH. - Optional: `sudo bash scripts/classroom-ufw.sh` (if present) for a restrictive UFW profile.
