@Jay4242 To disable the onion service, just set the WAYBACK_ONION_DISABLED=true environment variable.

@waybackarchiver This doesn't seem to work in Docker webarc/wayback:latest sha256:9bc0d0ff7e1726ba6f2b924aaa864b824cd4b2b36d6648c09409e667e534cbd3.

Exec into the container to check the variable value:

docker-compose exec wayback /bin/sh
/wayback # echo $WAYBACK_ONION_DISABLED
true

Checking the logs:

wayback-wayback-1  | [2023-07-05TXX:XX:XX] [INFO] [httpd.go:63:Serve] starting and registering onion service, please wait a bit...
wayback-wayback-1  | [2023-07-05TXX:XX:XX] [INFO] [httpd.go:75:Serve] start a tor hidden server
wayback-wayback-1  | [2023-07-05TXX:XX:XX] [INFO] [tor.go:32:startTorServer] important to keep the private key: XXXXX

The latest tag does not seem to contain the changes, you should use edge instead.

There was a misunderstanding earlier. To specify whether to route wayback traffic through Tor, use WAYBACK_USE_TOR or --tor. Unfortunately, there is currently no solution to disable the Tor service, but we may consider adding support for it in the future.

[Jay4242]

Ah, okay. That makes sense, going through tor is a neat option.

I think changing https://github.com/wabarc/wayback/blob/main/service/httpd/tor.go#L94 to false gives me the desired results on my end then.

Would there be any plans to support other proxies/ports?

Thanks.

[waybackarchiver]

Of course, there will be an option here to disable the Tor hidden service.
