Securely share files and host sites over Tor
About OnionShare
OnionShare lets users share files, chat, and host websites anonymously and securely using the Tor network from their own computer. It is typically installed on Linux servers or containers and administered through configuration files, a CLI, or a built-in web interface. That makes it a practical fit for homelab users, small teams, and organizations that value privacy, ownership, and predictable costs over time.
