ADD_ONION via Control Port (onion-grater)

Support
1

I’d like to use the ADD_ONION command on Whonix-Workstation. Can someone please write the onion-grater configuration rule that would allow that? Thanks in advance!

Are there any security concerns for the ADD_ONION? I’m only interested in adding an ephemeral service that would last for only a couple of days.

I saw in the Docs that there’s a 128 character limitation for commands. As ADD_ONION requires the whole private key to be submitted, 128 chars would not be sufficient. It says it’s configurable, but I can’t see that. Thanks!

There are many examples using ADD_ONION here:

Tails might have other onion-grater profiles which could be useful for
inspiration.

There’s a write-up about onion-grater security, see:

And on onion services security, this:

Onion Services - Whonix

I saw in the Docs that there’s a 128 character limitation for commands.

That is likely outdated since ADD_ONION is fully functional.
