In order for Goblins’ Onion Service netlayer to work, it needs to talk to a Tor daemon. Goblins can set up and manage the Onion Services itself once it connects to the Tor daemon. So far it seems like running a single Goblins Tor process “as your user” and letting various Goblins processes connect to it is the easiest option.
Here’s an example configuration file template (replace <user>
with your actual username):
DataDirectory /home/<user>/.cache/goblins/tor/data/ SocksPort unix:/home/<user>/.cache/goblins/tor/tor-socks-sock RelaxDirModeCheck ControlSocket unix:/home/<user>/.cache/goblins/tor/tor-control-sock RelaxDirModeCheck Log notice file /home/<user>/.cache/goblins/tor/tor-log.txt}|
Write this configuration to ~/.config/goblins/tor-config.txt.
Create the necessary cache directory:
mkdir -p ~/.cache/goblins/tor/data
Now launch the Tor daemon:
tor -f ~/.config/goblins/tor-config.txt
