Guide: Set Up a Private Onion Jabber Server : OpSec | Torhoo darknet markets

you're not a retard, a lot of people get this step wrong.

PM me you got a step wrong

but its probably just that you didnt out run sudo prosodyctl cert generate youronionaddress.onion with your real onion address you generated earlier.

Check the folder: sudo ls -la /etc/prosody/certs/

you should see:
myonion.onion.crt
myonion.onion.key

If those don’t exist, re-run:
sudo prosodyctl cert generate myonion.onion

but make sure you put your real onion address thats geberated earlier.

also check you might need to fix file permissions. run this:
sudo chown prosody:prosody /etc/prosody/certs/myonion.onion.*
sudo chmod 640 /etc/prosody/certs/myonion.onion.key

make sure the folder is owned by Prosody:
sudo chown -R prosody:prosody /etc/prosody/certs

i said last one in the PM i sent, but incase other people get this error too, ill say it on here too,

Confirm your VirtualHost config:
sudo nano /etc/prosody/conf.avail/myonion.onion.cfg.lua

make sure it has the correct lines:
ssl = {
key = "/etc/prosody/certs/myonion.onion.key";
certificate = "/etc/prosody/certs/myonion.onion.crt";
}

again, make sure you change the myonion.onion.key to your onion address you generated plus the .key,
If you left youronionaddress.onion literally, it will fail to find its certs.

also make sure you edited the etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua file with your onion address you generated, alot of people forget to replace it. edit the file like this :
sudo nano /etc/prosody/conf.avail/myonion.onion.cfg.lua

then find the part that says:
VirtualHost "youronionaddress.onion" and change it to your address you geneterated earlier.

then restart prosody:
sudo systemctl restart prosody

then check again:
sudo journalctl -u prosody -xe

If it still fails, then enter:
sudo ls -la /etc/prosody/certs/
sudo cat /etc/prosody/conf.avail/myonion.onion.cfg.lua

and then i can help you further. but that should fix it.

thanks :)

fuck i forgot to add that!!!! i knew i was missing soemthing lol

thank you :)

im crosspost it, since its both OpSec and XMPP

i personally like gajim. thats what i use.

6 hours :)

especially to get the formatting down.

i tried spacing out the the steps and then the actions, kinda how the top one is but when i posted it, it clumped them all together.

lmaoooo thanks

at ease soldier 😎

yeah man, PM if if you have any other questions.

exactly :)

glad i could help! :)

this guide works on Tails OS too! Tails is just a security-hardened Linux system, so all the steps for installing Prosody, Tor, and setting up your onion XMPP server are the same as on any Debian based Linux.

Just a couple Tails-specific tips:

• Make sure you enable “Additional Software” persistence if you want your server to survive a reboot, since Tails wipes most changes on shutdown by default. Otherwise, you’ll have to reinstall everything after every boot.
• Some directories (like /var/lib/tor/) are not persistent by default in Tails, so you’ll need to either configure persistent storage for them or recreate your onion service each session.
• You might want to generate your .onion address and Prosody configs on Tails, then copy them to a more permanent system if you plan to run the server 24/7 (since Tails is usually used as a live OS).

Otherwise, all the steps in my guide work on Tails, and it’s a good choice for anonymity if you want to set up and test an onion server safely!

PM me if you want a step-by-step specifically for Tails persistence, or if you get stuck anywhere. I’m happy to help :)

this is how you make a onion jabber routed through the tor network.

you can make a normal jabber account at like xmpp.is at there website.

Doing it in Qubes is possible, but honestly it’ll run much smoother in a regular Debian or Ubuntu VM.
If you really need to set it up on Qubes, let me know and I can walk you through it, just message me :)

its a jabber sever, jabber is a messaging app. but instead of using clearnet domains like xmpp.is or other servers, you make your own server with a onion address, so like m5vxclee556d3ndcjmtn3uwa62r6rh6fi7okye77hyfbzfuhtbo5pkid.onion at the end instead of xmpp.is

it routs your traffic through tor so your anonymous and cant be tracked. and also you can add specific features too prosody, unlike clearnet servers (as i mentioned in the guide)

im not familiar with ransomware, but you might be able too, since this guide makes a onion server.
