The only place it was used was in window.onpageunload, and we have a better way of determining if the proxy is active there (through the ui). I also removed that code from the webextension since the proxy won't stop running unless you close the browser and after testing it looks like that code doesn't notify the user anyway. |

Preparing to deploy
Background information:

- https://help.torproject.org/tsa/doc/static-sites/
- https://help.torproject.org/tsa/doc/ssh-jump-host/
You need to be in LDAP group "snowflake" and have set up an SSH key with your LDAP account. In your ~/.ssh/config file, you should have something like:
Host staticiforme
HostName staticiforme.torproject.org
User <your user name>
ProxyJump people.torproject.org
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/tor
Deploying
npm run build
Do a "dry run" rsync with -n
to check that only expected files are being changed. If you don't understand why a file would be updated, you can add the -i
option to see the reason.
rsync -n --chown=:snowflake --chmod ug=rw,D+x --perms --delete -crv build/ staticiforme:/srv/snowflake.torproject.org/htdocs/
If it looks good, then repeat the rsync without -n
.
rsync --chown=:snowflake --chmod ug=rw,D+x --perms --delete -crv build/ staticiforme:/srv/snowflake.torproject.org/htdocs/
You can ignore errors of the form rsync: failed to set permissions on "<dirname>/": Operation not permitted (1)
.
Then run the command to copy the new files to the live web servers:
ssh staticiforme 'static-update-component snowflake.torproject.org'
Parameters
With no parameters,
snowflake uses the default relay snowflake.freehaven.net:443
and
uses automatic signaling with the default broker at
https://snowflake-broker.freehaven.net/
