Description

Would it be possible to provide access to the NextcloudPi services from the wider internet as a hidden tor service?

Advantages I can see:

  • no need to set up port forwarding on the home router, ie easier to set up / can be set up when no control over the home router

  • safer (need SSH key to access the service node)

  • more anonymous (going through tor)

Research direction

The issue names no files, entry points, or tests. Start by locating how NextcloudPi exposes its services and handles remote access, then determine the requirements and security implications for a Tor hidden service. Done should include an agreed setup path, documented access behavior, and validation that the services are reachable as intended.
