Onion addresses have the advantage of being difficult to censor and you don't need to buy a domain or have a dynamic DNS account. An onion based system also means you don't need to think about NAT traversal type issues.

The version in which sites are available only via onion addresses is the easiest to get started with, since you can evaluate the system without committing to buying an ICANN domain name or needing to get involved with SSL/TLS certificates at all. However, if you do want your sites to be available typically as subdomains of a domain name which you own then remove the *--onion yes* option from the last command shown above. Also see the [[./domains.html][guide on setting up an ICANN domain name]].

The *onion-addresses-only* option *does not* mean that everything gets routed through Tor. It's intended to provide accessible web apps with minimum fuss and without needing to buy a clearnet domain name or mess with forwarding ports. Using apps via their onion addresses may provide some degree of anonymity but it may not be perfect and anonymity isn't the aim of this system (if you want that then use [[https://tails.boum.org/][TAILS]]).
If you want to create images for microSD cards used within various single board computers then replace the *i386* with *beaglebone* / *cubieboard2* / *cubietruck* / *a20-olinuxino-lime* / *a20-olinuxino-lime2* / *a20-olinuxino-micro* or *apu*.
