About
Tor Browser in Docker allows you to browse the web anonymously through the Tor network without installing it locally on your machine. It provides a complete Tor Browser experience accessible through any browser via VNC. This is useful for running in a headless environment, providing anonymous browsing on systems without a display, or isolating Tor usage from your main system. Features include connection to the Tor network, protection against tracking and fingerprinting, access to .onion sites, and no locally stored data after container restart.
How to Self-Host Tor Browser
Tor Browser can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Tor Browser does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.
If you searched for Tor Browser Docker, Tor Browser Docker Compose, or self-host Tor Browser, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.
