app idea: publish documents #31

Closed meejah closed 10 years ago

meejah commented 11 years ago

Expand the launch_tor_endpoint example into apps/torpublish which will publish a collection of documents at a hidden service endpoint. Should include robust command-line handling, simple instructions, etcetera.

Key-handling should be considered -- although a quick publish to a random .onion is okay, most people would likely want the ability to re-launch their service at the same onion address and hence would need to save the private key somewhere.

The existing Twisted Web stuff is probably sufficient for this use-case, although it may be worth exploring Cyclone (the clone of Tornado which uses Twisted's tested async core instead of custom untested stuff) having the advantage of covering another use-case with an example.

At GlobaLeaks http://github.com/globaleaks/GLBackend we are using Cyclone with Twisted and TxTorCon.

While the handling of the private key (security) still remain an issue to be fixed

Ah, okay, that's probably a better example then ;)
