git-annex enable-tor command Tor unfortunately does not come out of the box configured to let hidden services register themselves on the fly via the ControlPort. And, changing the config to enable the ControlPort and a particular type of auth for it may break something already using the ControlPort, or lessen the security of the system. So, this leaves only one option to us: Add a hidden service to the torrc. git-annex enable-tor does so, and picks an unused high port for tor to listen on for connections to the hidden service. It's up to the caller to somehow pick a local port to listen on that won't be used by something else. That may be difficult to do.. This commit was sponsored by Jochen Bartl on Patreon.
