I have been working on a different type of self hostable secure coms called Torum designed to install on termux. (Tor+Forum= Torum)

This implementation of secure coms relies fully on the security that a hidden onion service provides. There is no additional encryption layers in the architecture. If you have the onion address, you can access the forum in full.

The security of a onion service comes from the fact that the traffic is not leaving the Tor network and isnt exiting unecrypted. In theory any onion service should be e2ee by default.

The source for torum is here.

After running the script, the file system spawns. Below is the file system that supports the webserver.

The script is also a all in one server manager. Once it's finished running you will be prompted with 3 options.

You will also be prompted to enter a admin password on start up. This password will allow you to login on the website to delete posts and files. The login page can be found at [insertyouraddress].onion/admin

Personally, I have built this so I can host the bible. I like the idea of having a unstoppable distribution of the word of God as a online "safe haven" to not only read, but discuss and communicate in a forum like format.

With the way I have laid out my personal torum, sharing a Bible verse may not only be a thing, but a place in space and time...and that's pretty neat!

With over 30,000 individual verses, it showcases the power of this tiny webserver paired with SQLite as robust and capable considering relatively small resources a phone has.

Enjoy and feel free to modify this program for whatever you want!
