Torum is a self-hosted, Tor-native discussion forum modeled after Hacker News. It runs entirely as a Tor hidden service, accessible only through the Tor network via a .onion address. All data is stored locally in an SQLite database, and the entire application is managed through a single interactive shell script. Designed for operators who want to run a private or semi-private community forum with no reliance on clearnet infrastructure, third-party services, or cloud hosting.
