[SOLVED] Running multiple services on different ports on the same onion domain?

Running multiple services on different ports on the same onion domain?

Context

In some form the opposite of this question; how can one host multiple services on a single onion domain?

When I include:

HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/gitlab/
HiddenServicePort 8070 127.0.0.1:8050
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/dash/
HiddenServicePort 9002 127.0.0.1:9001

and create the files

HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/gitlabhostname
HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/dash/hostname

Both hostnames will get an onion domain. Hence, I was wondering:

Question

How can I ensure only 1 onion domain is created for both services? (dash and gitlab in this example).

Note

I expect that I misunderstand the purpose of the /var/lib/tor/<service_name>/ folder, and that perhaps the /var/lib/tor/<service_name>/hostname` file is not required for (each) onion service. (In essence that it is only used to store e.g. some website data if needed). However, I did not yet figure out how this works.

Solution

Yes, you can specify mutliple HiddenServicePort for one HiddenServiceDir, according to https://tor.stackexchange.com/a/4439

HiddenServiceDir /path/to/hs/dir/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
HiddenServicePort 8000 127.0.0.1:8000
HiddenServicePort 81 192.168.0.102:80
