### SSH through Tor from Linux
2020-09-20 09:31:28 +01:00
On a RaspiBlitz
2020-06-20 19:20:11 +01:00
* since v1.4 there is a script to create a hidden service on your blitz:
2020-03-18 11:01:32 +00:00
`./config.scripts/internet.hiddenservice.sh ssh 22 22`
* get the Hidden Service address to connect to with:
`sudo cat /mnt/hdd/tor/ssh/hostname`
2020-09-20 09:31:28 +01:00
On the Debian based Linux Desktop (Ubuntu, Debian, MX Linux etc.)
2020-03-18 11:01:32 +00:00
* needs Tor running on your desktop:
`sudo apt install tor`
* might need to add:
`sudo apt install torsocks`
* edit the Tor config file:
`sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc`
* add:
2020-09-20 09:31:28 +01:00
```
# Hidden Service for ssh
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/ssh
HiddenServiceVersion 3
HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22
```
2020-03-18 11:01:32 +00:00
* Restart Tor:
`sudo systemctl restart tor`
* get the Hidden Service address to connect to with:
`sudo cat /mnt/hdd/tor/ssh/hostname`
2020-09-20 09:31:28 +01:00
Use `ssh` with `torify` on the desktop (needs Tor installed):
`torify ssh admin@HiddenServiceAddress.onion`
### Allow Tor to connect to localhost
2020-01-28 13:15:55 +00:00
2020-01-30 06:46:22 +00:00
* To solve the error when running `$ torify python yg-privacyenhanced.py wallet.jmdat`
```
[INFO] starting yield generator
[INFO] Listening on port 27183
[INFO] Starting transaction monitor in walletservice
1580214062 WARNING torsocks[28563]: [connect] Connection to a local address are denied since it might be a TCP DNS query to a local DNS server. Rejecting it for safety reasons. (in tsocks_connect() at connect.c:192)
```
2020-01-28 13:15:55 +00:00
2020-01-30 06:46:22 +00:00
* Edit the `torsocks.conf` and activate the option `AllowOutboundLocalhost 1` :
2020-01-28 13:15:55 +00:00
`$ sudo nano /etc/tor/torsocks.conf`
2020-01-30 06:46:22 +00:00
```
# Set Torsocks to allow outbound connections to the loopback interface.
# If set to 1, connect() will be allowed to be used to the loopback interface
# bypassing Tor. If set to 2, in addition to TCP connect(), UDP operations to
# the loopback interface will also be allowed, bypassing Tor. This option
# should not be used by most users. (Default: 0)
AllowOutboundLocalhost 1
```
* Restart Tor:
`sudo systemctl restart tor`
2020-03-18 11:01:32 +00:00
### Set up Armbian on the Hardkernel Odroid XU4
* Download the SDcard image
https://dl.armbian.com/odroidxu4/Buster_legacy
* Verify
https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how -to-check-download-authenticity
```

```
* Preparation
Make sure you have a good & reliable SD card and a proper power supply. Archives can be uncompressed with 7-Zip on Windows, Keka on OS X and 7z on Linux (apt-get install p7zip-full). RAW images can be written with Etcher (all OS).
* Boot
Insert the SD card into the slot, connect a cable to your network if possible or a display and power your board. (First) boot (with DHCP) takes up to 35 seconds with a class 10 SD Card.
* Login
Log in as: root Password: 1234. Then you are prompted to change this password (US-Keyboard setting). When done, you are asked to create a normal user-account for your everyday tasks.
* Change the password.
* Create a new user called `joinmarket` and set the password.
Keep pressing [ENTER] to use the default user information.

```
2021-02-10 18:51:19 +00:00
* Connect SD card reader with a 8GB SD card
* In the file manager open context on the .img.xz file, select `Open With Disk Image Writer` and write the image to the SDcard.
2021-02-10 11:59:59 +00:00
#### Prepare the base image
2021-02-11 21:46:02 +00:00
* Before the first boot edit the `sysconf.txt` on the `RASPIFIRM` partition to be able to ssh remotely - needs an authorized ssh pubkey.
* Generate ssk keys on Ubuntu with:
2021-02-10 18:51:19 +00:00
```bash
2021-02-11 21:46:02 +00:00
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
```
* Copy the ssh pubkey from the Ubuntu image to the `sysconf.txt` the `RASPIFIRM` directory:
```bash
echo "root_authorized_key=$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)" | tee -a /home/ubuntu/RASPIFIRM/sysconf.txt
2021-02-10 18:51:19 +00:00
```
The `sysconf.txt` will reset after boot and moves the ssh pubkey to `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys`
* Boot the RPi and connect with ssh (use the hostname, `arp -a` or check router))
2021-02-10 11:59:59 +00:00
```bash
ssh root@rpi4 -20201112
```
2021-02-11 21:46:02 +00:00
* apt update, upgrade and reboot
2021-02-10 11:59:59 +00:00
```bash
apt update
apt upgrade
2021-02-11 21:46:02 +00:00
reboot
2021-02-10 11:59:59 +00:00
```
2021-02-11 21:46:02 +00:00
* log in again and install basic dependencies
2021-02-10 11:59:59 +00:00
```bash
ssh root@rpi4 -20201112
2021-02-11 21:46:02 +00:00
apt install sudo wget
2021-02-10 11:59:59 +00:00
```
2021-02-11 21:46:02 +00:00
#### Install Joininbox
2021-02-10 11:59:59 +00:00
* Download and run the build script
```bash
# download
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openoms/joininbox/master/build_joininbox.sh
# inspect the script
cat build_joininbox.sh
# run
sudo bash build_joininbox.sh
```
2021-02-10 18:51:19 +00:00
* Monitor/Check outputs for warnings/errors - install LCD
2021-02-10 11:59:59 +00:00
#### Prepare the SDcard release
* Make the SDcard image safe to share by removing unique infos like ssh pubkeys and network identifiers:
```bash
/home/joinmarket/prepare.release.sh
2021-02-10 18:51:19 +00:00
```
* Disconnect WiFi/LAN on build laptop (hardware switch off) and shutdown
* Remove Ubuntu LIVE USB stick and cut power from the RaspberryPi
#### Sign the image
* Connect USB stick with latest TailsOS (make it stay offline)
* Power on the Build Laptop (press F12 for boot menu)
* Connect USB stick with GPG signing keys - decrypt drive if needed
* Open Terminal and cd into directory of USB Stick under /media/amnesia
* Run gpg --import ./sub.key, check and exit
* Disconnect USB stick with GPG keys
* Take the SD card from the RaspberryPi and connect with an external SD card reader to the laptop
* Click on boot volume once in the file manger
* Connect the NTFS USB stick, open in file manager and delete old files
* Open Terminal and cd into directory of NTFS USB stick under /media/amnesia
* Run df to check on the SD card device name (boot - ignore last partition number)
* dd if=/dev/[sdcarddevice] | gzip > ./raspiblitz-vX.X-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.img.gz
* When finished you should see that more then 7GB were copied
* Then run shasum -a 256 *.gz > sha256.txt
* Sign with gpg --output raspiblitz-vX.X-YEAR-MONTH-DAY.img.gz.sig --detach-sign *.gz
* Shutdown build computer
* Connect the NTFS USB stick to MacOS (it is just read-only)
* Run tests on the new image
* Upload the new image to the Download Server - put sig-file next to it
* Copy SHA256-String into GitHub README and update the download link
