Tips when running Onion Service container images

This page provides useful tips for developing and debugging Onion Service containers, either using the Onimages project or custom built images.

Some of these tips are even useful even when running containers with Tor in general.

Getting Tor daemon's UID and GID

Sometimes is useful to get tor's UID and GID:

docker run -rm -it --entrypoint id tor

The Compose version for the command above:

docker-compose exec tor id tor

The same applies for the Arti-based images.
