Thanks for working on this.
I tried to improve your instructions and based my work on lighttpd.
I managed to reduce the lines of code from 43 down to 12.
The tricks are:
- Use the default configuration of lighttpd.
- Add lighttpd to live-additional-software.conf.
- Store the hidden service folder in persistence.
- Store the files in the Persistent folder.
What do you think?
To create the hidden service
============================
echo "lighttpd" >>
/live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/live-additional-software.conf
echo "/var/www source=Persistent/www" >>
/live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/persistence.conf
echo "/var/lib/tor/lighttpd source=tor/lighttpd" >>
/live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/persistence.conf
Reboot and wait for the additional software notification.
chown debian-tor:debian-tor /var/lib/tor/lighttpd
chown amnesia:amnesia /home/amnesia/Persistent/www
chmod 755 /home/amnesia/Persistent/www
echo "HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/lighttpd/" >> /etc/tor/torrc
echo "HiddenServicePort 80" >> /etc/tor/torrc
service tor restart
cat /var/lib/tor/lighttpd/hostname
To reboot
=========
echo "HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/lighttpd/" >> /etc/tor/torrc
echo "HiddenServicePort 80" >> /etc/tor/torrc
service tor restart
