Hi First of all, I'm writing this for Linux as I don't know IIS and I've never used apache on Windows. Use any Linux distro that you want listed below. I do not recommend Tails as it is not meant for web servers.
OK, so there are two parts. 1. Set up tor. 2. set up your web server. Part 1: Install tor. $ sudo zypper in tor (opensuse) $ sudo apt-get install tor (debian/ubuntu/mint) $ sudo yum install tor (fedora) Edit the /etc/tor/torrc file. $ sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc Uncomment the following lines: #HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ #HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 Restart tor $ sudo systemctl enable tor && sudo systemctl start tor Get your new onion name $ sudo cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname Part 2: Set up a web server. $ sudo zypper in apache2 (opensuse) $ sudo apt-get install apache2 (debian/ubuntu/mint) $ sudo yum install httpd (fedora) Create the files for your very basic website in: /srv/www/htdocs (opensuse) /var/www/html (everything else) Finally enable and start apache. $ sudo systemctl enable httpd && sudo systemctl start httpd (fedora) $ sudo systemctl enable apache2 && sudo systemctl start apache2 (everything else) You now have a very very basic onion site. It is not secured beyond the protections that tor inherently provides. I think is about as "for dummies" as it can be without someone scripting it beforehand.
