👍 oh ok! Is it available on another ubuntu distribution? Like xenial - do you know?

ahmed-abdelazim · 2019-06-24T22:42:57Z

No, just wait for fix. you can also build .deb from source

Okay, I struggled through this installation on bionic, but the packages are severely broken. I have a broken version of tor2web installed from source using https://github.com/globaleaks/Tor2web/blob/master/scripts/build.sh, which does not contain the python3-twisted-core dependency, because I can't find this dependency anywhere online or on a PPA anywhere. 🙈

The broken version of tor2web that I managed to install (ignoring the python3-twisted-core dependency) after some struggle does not start when I run /etc/init.d/tor2web start after installing certificates and configuring them. After correcting 3 octal errors in the python code, I now have:

  Process: 17396 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/tor2web start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Jun 25 10:38:58 ip-172-31-45-199 tor2web[17396]:    ...fail!

I have tried installing on xenial as well as bionic and they both fail.

https://github.com/globaleaks/Tor2web/wiki/Installation-Guide#install-and-configure-tor2web seems to be quite outdated.

I want to help fix these issues, but I don't know how. Is there an Ubuntu version for which https://github.com/globaleaks/Tor2web/wiki/Installation-Guide#install-and-configure-tor2web just works out of the box? I would love to help clean up the wiki, and get this to a state where the resource on this repository are reliable. Please help me out here!

evilaliv3 · 2019-06-25T12:12:28Z

@arunasank: thank you for notifying this.

The repository is currently under maintainance, and the package will be re-released soon.

I'm currently away but will be back later.

If you can in the meantime could you make a summary of ally your findings?

evilaliv3 · 2019-06-25T13:49:20Z

@arunasank: would you please retry the install on ubuntu Bionic?

I just packaged it, it should work except for Apparmor that probably would need minor fixes.

If you could try:

try to run it with apparmor disabled (APPARMOR_SANDBOXING=0 in /etc/tor2web.conf)
try to run it with apparmor enabled (APPARMOR_SANDBOXING=1 in /etc/tor2web.conf)

thank you!

arunasank · 2019-06-25T13:52:47Z

Thank you so much @evilaliv3 ♥️ Trying right away. I really appreciate the fast response time.

arunasank · 2019-06-25T13:58:54Z

@evilaliv3 Question - what issue does your package fix? When I try to install tor2web using the install-tor2web.sh script, I still get

arunasank · 2019-06-25T13:59:21Z

Are you able to help on IRC? I am on the #tor2web channel on OFTC.

arunasank · 2019-06-25T14:14:38Z

@evilaliv3 yep I re-ran the instructions from scratch on a machine reset to bionic and still see #356 (comment). Thanks for trying. If you have some time in the next few days, would love to get an hour or so of your's on IRC to help debug this. I will rewrite the wiki (or better, move it to a docs folder in the repository, so that it can be modified and PR-ed to) in return for your help. Thank you for helping maintain this awesome project!

evilaliv3 · 2019-06-25T14:22:06Z

@arunasank: Currently i've limited time i'm so sorry @arunasank; I will let you know as soon that i can.

I will immediately issue a package where to use python3-twisted instead of python3-twisted-code that do not exists.

will write here as soon that it is available.

vecna · 2019-06-25T14:33:00Z

also, FYI, the line https://github.com/globaleaks/Tor2web/blob/master/scripts/install.sh#L150 fails it you test with:

(venv) 20059 ۞  ~/Dev/tor2web  ༚1༚ echo "Codename:    bionic" | grep -vqE "^bionic"
(venv) 20060 ۞  ~/Dev/tor2web  ༚1༚

and the following grep also triggers an error (from the install script):

Detected OS: Ubuntu - bionic
grep: Unmatched ( or \(

arunasank · 2019-06-25T15:14:22Z

Update: I managed to set it up on a xenial machine. 🎉 💃

I will write up the instructions for the same, since I had to do a great deal of gymnastics to install some python dependencies of the project. It still fails on bionic though. Thanks for everyone that replied here - even just an offer of help can make a difference to the motivations of a struggling dev. 😅 @evilaliv3 let's do bionic install fixes whenever you manage to find the time - would love to improve the resources here.

evilaliv3 · 2019-06-25T15:28:49Z

@arunasank: with @vecna we should have now solved the package install with bionic.

You find out a package version 3.1.74!

arunasank · 2019-06-26T15:50:13Z

I can test this some time today and report back on whether it really works. Thanks good folks!

arunasank · 2019-06-28T19:32:59Z

Works on xenial. Still fails on bionic.

Good progress on bionic though, since the python dependencies and the packages themselves install fine. The tor2web systame process does not start though. There were still 3 octal errors I had to fix, and subsequently, I see this:

$ /home/tor2web/certs# /etc/init.d/tor2web restart

About the wiki - okay to move it into a folder containing markdown files within the repo?

evilaliv3 · 2019-06-28T21:07:36Z

@arunasank As for the current bionic package if you disable appartmor it will work like a charm.
You have just to set: APPARMOR_SANDBOXING=0 in /etc/tor2web.conf
Then if you want it would be grat if you could debug what is necessary to fix it with apparmor.

As for the wiki it is perfect to move it inside git; eventually we can think even to make it on docs.tor2web.org using readthedocs if you want to manage this change but this is probably a big one and we can just start of muving it to the repo and improve it by pull requests. what do you think?

@evilaliv3 The error pasted above is after disabling APPARMOR actually.

Sounds good! : ) I can help fix this. I want more people to use the project!

arunasank · 2019-07-16T20:13:40Z

Was the xenial package changed or updated recently? Because tor2web is broken on xenial again. 🙈

evilaliv3 · 2019-09-28T06:25:08Z

@arunasank: do you have any progress? do you have any patch to share in relation to make it work on ubuntu bionic?

with @jbash we are considering as well to bump Tor2web to use Onion Services V3 (#353); have you considered them in your work? Do you have by the chance already a patch for this that you would like to share?

evilaliv3 · 2019-10-01T17:02:33Z

This should be solved @arunasank!
