In my experience hosting an onionsite is actually easier than hosting a regular website. Two or three lines in a .torrc file, then `tor -f .torrc & python -m http.server -d static` or whatever to start the webserver, and everything is handled for you (iirc doing `mkdir tor/hidden_service` might also be needed?). No need to port forward or fiddle with DNS...

Though hosting two at once is a bit of a pain ([0])..

I guess I should just use Termux instead of waiting for Onionshare's Android version to reach parity.
