Tor browser running inside of Firefox

This image allows running a Tor browser instance on any headless server. The browser can be accessed via either a web interface or directly from any VNC client.

Container is based on baseimage-gui by jlesage

Both amd64 and arm64 container runtimes are supported, but only the amd64 image uses an official build of the Tor Browser. The arm64 image uses an unofficial build via tor-browser-ports because the Tor Project does not have an official arm build of the Tor Browser. Both the official and unofficial builds are signed, and the signatures are verified when building this container.

See the docker-compose here or use this command

docker run -d -p 5800:5800 domistyle/tor-browser

The web interface will be available on port 5800.

No special configuration is necessary, however some recommended variables are available:

** For advanced configuration options please take a look here.**

You may install the browser with your own configuration. Copy the template configuration to get started. If mozilla.cfg is available then it is used, otherwise no browser changes are made.

cd browser-cfg
cp mozilla.cfg.template mozilla.cfg

It is not recommended to add persistent volumes to your Tor Browser. We do not support any issues that arise from persistent volumes.
