+# Tornado onion service
+
+This repo can be used to run tornado.cash as an onion service.
+
+## Usage:
+
+You will need a machine with Docker installed. First, generate a private key for a new .onion domain:
+
+```shell script
+docker run --rm --entrypoint shallot strm/tor-hiddenservice-nginx ^foo
+```
+
+Then paste the private key to `docker-compose.yml`
+
+Then run
+
+```shell script
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+In a few minutes tornado.cash UI should be available on your .onion domain
