Detailed Usage

This guide covers common CLI workflows. See docs/docker.md for Docker instructions and docs/templates.md for available flyer templates.

Prerequisites

VoxVera is designed to be highly portable and requires minimal system dependencies.

1. Standalone Binaries (Recommended)

You can download standalone, zero-dependency binaries for your operating system:

• Linux: voxvera-linux
• Windows: voxvera-windows.exe
• macOS: voxvera-macos

These binaries include everything needed to run VoxVera (except onionshare-cli).

2. One-Line Installer

Alternatively, install via our automated script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PR0M3TH3AN/VoxVera/main/install.sh | bash

3. Manual Python Install

If you prefer to run from source:

pipx install 'voxvera@git+https://github.com/PR0M3TH3AN/VoxVera.git@main'
sudo apt install tor onionshare-cli   # Debian/Ubuntu

Step-by-Step

1. Initialize: Run voxvera init and follow the prompts. You will be asked to select your language first.
2. Build: Generate the flyer assets. Every build automatically creates a voxvera-portable.zip in the flyer's folder, allowing others to download the full tool directly from your flyer.

   voxvera build
   

3. Serve: Publish the flyer over Tor:

   voxvera serve
   

   This automatically detects your Tor instance, starts OnionShare, and writes the generated .onion address into the flyer's tear-off links.

Language Support

VoxVera is fully localized. You can change your language preference permanently using either the interactive selector or a direct shortcut:

• Interactive Selector: voxvera lang
• Direct Shortcut: voxvera --lang de (sets preference to German)

Supported Languages:

• English: en
• Spanish: es (alias: --idioma)
• German: de (alias: --sprache)

You can also force a specific language for a single command without changing your permanent preference:

• English: voxvera --lang en check
• German: voxvera --sprache de check
• Spanish: voxvera --idioma es check

The generated flyers automatically detect the visitor's browser language and switch the UI text accordingly.

Server Management

Manage multiple flyers and their Tor identities from a single interactive menu:

voxvera manage

Features:

• --- Crear Nuevo Sitio/Volante ---: Start the full setup sequence.
• --- Iniciar Todos los Sitios ---: Launch or shut down every flyer in your fleet at once.
• Real-time Status: View active .onion URLs and Tor bootstrapping progress indicators.
• Individual Control: Exportar a Zip specific sites to ZIP or delete them.

Universal Mirroring (Viral Distribution)

To ensure VoxVera remains accessible even if central repositories are censored, every flyer acts as a mirror for the tool.

When you host a flyer, the "Descargar Herramienta y Código" button on the landing page provides a voxvera-portable.zip containing:

• The full source code and all supported languages.
• All Python dependencies (pre-vendored).
• Cross-platform Tor binaries.

This allows anyone who scans your flyer to become a new distributor of the VoxVera tool.

Export & Backup

Back up your unique Tor identities (so your .onion URL never changes) or move your flyers to another machine.

• Export a single site: voxvera export <folder_name>
• Export all sites: voxvera export-all

Storage location: All exports are saved to ~/voxvera-exports/ on all platforms.

Import & Recovery

Restore your entire setup on a new machine by moving your ZIP files to ~/voxvera-exports/ and running:

voxvera import-multiple

Portability & Offline Use

If you need to run VoxVera on a machine without internet access, you can "vendorize" the dependencies first:

voxvera vendorize

This downloads all required Python libraries into voxvera/vendor/. The tool will then prioritize these local files, allowing it to run without pip install.

Batch Import (JSON)

To bulk-generate flyers from multiple JSON configuration files, place them in the imports/ directory and run:

voxvera batch-import

How URLs Work

Each flyer has two separate URLs:

• Tear-off link (auto-generated): The .onion address where the flyer is hosted.
• Content link (user-configured): An external URL pointing to a website, video, or download.

You do not need to manually enter the .onion address; VoxVera handles this automatically during the serve phase.
