ONI-Stack: Building Resilient Tor Sites

ONI-Stack: Building Resilient Tor Sites is a technical field manual for anyone who wants to create a Tor hidden service that doesn’t collapse under its own weight. No fluff, no recycled tutorials, no shallow walkthroughs. This is the blueprint for people who want to actually run infrastructure in the deep layers of the network.

You’ll learn the exact steps to construct, deploy, harden, and maintain a Tor site from the ground up. This guide covers everything from server selection to transport isolation to anonymized content deployment. You’ll see how hidden services function under the hood and how to operate them without leaking operational fingerprints.

Whether you’re building a simple onion landing page or a full multi-service environment, ONI-Stack gives you the architecture, the reasoning, and the operational patterns to keep it alive.

Inside You’ll Learn:

• How the Tor hidden service protocol works behind the scenes
• The safest, most practical hosting models in 2025
• Bare-metal, VPS, VM, and containerized onion deployments
• OPSEC-firm directory structures and compartmentalization
• Service isolation using systemd, namespaces, firejail, or hybrid stacks
• How to prevent metadata leaks at the system, network, and application layers
• Onion-only CMS options and static site workflows
• Failure modes, traffic anomalies, and how experienced operators mitigate them
• How to maintain, rotate, and archive infrastructure over long periods
• Sample configs, templates, and deploy scripts ready to adapt

This guide assumes you want to build something real. Something that runs quietly. Something that stays online.

Who This Is For:
Security researchers, privacy advocates, darkweb archivists, protocol experimenters, sysadmins, or anyone who wants to understand deep-layer infrastructure without relying on outdated forum scraps.
