Although, i could have used the ssh remote, but i couldn't found a flag to specify a private key file (might need to search more), since i'm using a separate private key + password to ssh into the remote server. + Anyway, tor installed fine on both host and server, but even though tor was working fine by itself (tried it using sock5 and curl to test), git-annex couldn't initialize it, and was stuck on `Unable to connect to hidden service. It may not yet have propigated to the Tor network. (SocksErrorHostUnreachable) Will retry..` when using `git annex enable-tor` I tried it on the assistant too with the same error in the logs. + I'm using default setting on the torrc, I'm on ubuntu 19.04 x86_64 using 7.20190129 version of git-annex. P.S:I used this one liner to test if tor was working ` curl --socks5 localhost:9050 --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 -s https://check.torproject.org/ | cat | grep -m 1 Congratulations | xargs`, not sure if there better way/other to test it.
