Tor browser
Tor browser running inside of Firefox
About
This image allows running a Tor browser instance on any headless server. The browser can be accessed via either a web interface or directly from any VNC client.
Container is based on baseimage-gui by jlesage
Both amd64 and arm64 container runtimes are supported, but only the amd64 image uses an official build of the Tor Browser. The arm64 image uses an unofficial build via tor-browser-ports because the Tor Project does not have an official arm build of the Tor Browser. Both the official and unofficial builds are signed, and the signatures are verified when building this container.
Usage
See the docker-compose here or use this command:
docker run -d -p 5800:5800 domistyle/tor-browserThe web interface will be available on port 5800.
