If you don’t want to learn the process, I have my script to do the work for you. Check it here — https://github.com/sam5epi0l/onionX/

Follow these steps -

• Get official termux app from F-DROID — https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/

• update packages
  
  pkg update -y
  

• Install dependencies
  
  pkg i termux-api tor git -y
  

• create torrc configuration
  

cp /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/tor/torrc .
echo "HiddenServiceDir /data/data/com.termux/files/home/hidden_service/" >> torrc
echo "HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:1337" >> torrc

• Start TOR hidden service
  
  tor -f torrc
  

• Check URL in hostname file
  
  cat /data/data/com.termux/files/home/hidden_service/hostname
  

• (OPTIONAL) Start your Apache/nginx web server at port 1337

I’m using python http server at 127.0.0.1:1337

python3 -m http.server 1337

Hurray! you finished all steps and the host is up and running DARK WEB website. Thank you so much for reading.
