An experiment to distribute a website onto multiple servers/containers on the tor network

• root-service requires API calls to library-service to get information about books

• library-service just serves the purpose of storing book information

• root-service manages all other interactions (ideally - this is PoC)

• Build the root-service docker image

$ cd root-service/
$ docker build -t root-service .

• Build the library-service docker image

$ cd library-service/
$ docker build -t library-service .

• Running the containers

$ docker run --name root-service --rm -d root-service

$ docker run --name library-service --rm -d root-service

• Testing the site by visiting the URLs on TOR Browser (download from https://www.torproject.org/download/)

library-service test URL : http://s7fyhrsrlh44wlbimeyvvqygazaxo3fjfyqpentn4ajxzth6o42tmqid.onion:8001/library/get-book-info/0

root-service test URL : http://cijub5hzv3zx7mlhoz5oo3taiuuffvdfm7kch7zjvnbuoff3nfp34cad.onion:8000/root/get-user/1

• Extreme distribution of application
• Lesser chance of having a "single point of failure"
• Extremely high Latency (OH WAIT, THAT'S NOT A FEATURE)
