## Intro
## About Pivilion
Pivilion is a decentralized, uncensored, user-curated web gallery operating system and gallery management software running on nodes hosted by the general public and distributed through clearnet and Tor.
The aim of the gallery-host project is to create a nomadic free virtual environment that connects art-oriented users (both creators and consumers) by offering a participatory model of interaction.

Each Pivilion device receives a Tor onion domain automatically the first time it’s activated. The system provides the user with backend access to a system for publishing images, videos or websites within a gallery. The gallery runs on a CMS designed specially for hosting online gallery events, with features such as different rooms, complete with Mozilla’s Togetherjs integrated into each seperate room.
## About This Manual
This manual shows how to install Pivilion on your Raspberry Pi from scratch and use it as a portable darknet gallery. It installs Tor with Lighttpd (Lighty) as a hidden service and runs a simple php based gallery system.

It's recommended to read through the entire manual, before attempting to install it on a Raspberry Pi.
Tor is free software for enabling anonymous communication and censorship circumvention. However, Pivilion doesn't use Tor for its anonimity features (but Tor still provides them). Tor is used to host a HTTP server as a hidden service. We make extensive use of its NAT punching capabilites to enable us to host a gallery behind NATs and firewalls. Keep in mind that this may or may not break your ISP contract if you do it from home. Using public WiFi to host hidden services, while not technically illegal if you were provided with the password by the owner of the WiFi, may present certain issues with their ISP. Since we're using Tor there is no way for you to get *caught*. With great power comes great responsibility. Be responsible in what you host and do on the darknet while using Pivilion.
