This guide will help you set up a standalone Snowflake proxy using Docker to help censored users connect to the Tor network.
We have a Docker image to ease the setup of a Snowflake proxy.
1. Install Docker
The instructions in this step are for Debian-based systems, but you can find Docker instructions for other supported platforms.
Open a terminal and run these commands:
$ sudo apt install curl sudo
$ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
$ sudo sh ./get-docker.sh
2. Download the docker compose file
Download the docker-compose.yml configuration file.
Run the command to download it:
$ wget https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/docker-snowflake-proxy/raw/main/docker-compose.yml
Ensuite, déployez le proxy en exécutant :
docker compose up -d snowflake-proxy
This command starts the Snowflake proxy in detached mode.
Vous devriez maintenant voir la sortie :
Creating snowflake-proxy ... done
et votre proxy est opérationnel !
3. Checking your Docker logs
To access your Snowflake proxy logs, first find the container ID number.
Exécutez la commande :
$ docker ps
Your Snowflake container ID is on the same line of thetorproject/snowflake-proxy:latest
.
Replace the container ID below with yours and run the command:
$ docker logs -f 42fb82372340
4. Automatic updates with Watchtower
The docker-compose.yml file contains a watchtower
container, configured to automatically check for updates to the snowflake docker container every day, download them and run them.
Si vous l'utilisez, votre proxy snowflake sera automatiquement mis à jour !
Sinon, vous devrez périodiquement extraire le dernier conteneur et le redémarrer manuellement.
