Hello,

This project is designed to give you your own collaborative workspace over the Tor Network.

It’s designed to be a very minimal and lightweight distributed network in which each tmailplus node is in complete control of their own data.

Because of the minimal dependencies, it can even run on my favorite linux shell, termux.

The service is split into three isolated onion addresses.

-1. A public mailbox and place for publishing public PGP key.

-2. UI address. Authenticated hidden service access to the UI.

-3. Rotatable Sharepoint address. (for inviting guests to your docs and sheets)

To drive the realtime collaboration, websockets are utilized. We get very nice performance even including the latency of the tor network. In docs, every keypress is streamed. In sheets every cell update is streamed to connected collaborators.

On top of the encrypted connection that tor provides between the server and client, PGP can be utilized to ensure data is even encrypted at rest within the server DB.

The intended use case is for anybody who wants to be completly isolated from big tech platforms. This allows you to be your own tiny infrastructure.

Here are a few screen captures of the UI. I chose a very basic, plain interface. On linux, the font is ‘Liberation Mono’ which I thought was fitting.

I attempted to make tmailplus as easy as possible to setup. tmail.sh handles gathering dependencies on termux, macOS, or Debian platforms dynamically. Local ports are adjustable as well. You can even run multiple isolated tmailplus nodes on one machine if you wanted. The install script also duals as the server manager for your node which is shown in the last screenshot.

The script compiles a home directory with all the pieces and parts to run a webserver.

The script updated and installs these packages.

$PIP_BIN install --no-cache-dir flask sqlalchemy pillow itsdangerous werkzeug gunicorn

pkg install -y python python-pip tor clang libjpeg-turbo libpng openssl gnupg

    There are really two categories to "war resistance". Did this war completely knock out the internet? Then your limited to satalite, meshtastic, physical radio tech.Maybe jack dorseys bitchat would work since everyone will already have the hardware to build the network out.

    If you have internet...then Tor, I2P, and other overlay networks will remain very resilant and allow you to communicate over any distance...that's what it was made for.

    Severing fiber connections between Sweden and central Europe won't matter to Tor. It's whole job is to make secret unblockable tunnels.

    Agreed, flock is no longer a startup they are coming up on 10 years.

    There has been some big in depth right ups and coverage, but alot of the coverage is small town news orgs documenting the presence.

    The biggest thing to be watching is the Institute for Justice lawsuit vs city of Norfolk.

    If they are successful it will have large implications across the US.
