### Please describe the problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
enable-tor on an OSX box (with magic-wormhole and tor installed via brew) fails miserably.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
run git-annex enable-tor - multiple fails, see details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7.20191106
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OSX 10.14.5
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Please provide any additional information below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first failure is that enable-tor can't run as root. Instead, I call it with sudo git-annex enable-tor <UID>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The second failure is that you try and write into /etc/tor/torrc - which is not where torrc is located on a brew installed tor - it's in /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc. I made a symlink to get around that problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The third failure is a complaint about systemctl not being present. I looked in Utilities/Tor.hc and saw you were trying to call for a reload of tor. To hack around that, I wrote a script called systemctl that simply called 'brew services' with the args passed in ( brew services $1 $2 ).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After that, I still get the error: git-annex: tor failed to create hidden service, perhaps the tor service is not running
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have restarted tor manually, and it is indeed running. It looks like something is failing in setting up the Onion socket, but I can't see what
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

I love it - using it to protect my photo archive now using a central special repo (rclone) for the data, and a gitlab repo for the base.
