BTCPay Docker users must opt into Tor at their next update to keep onion access

What happened

BTCPay Docker users must opt into Tor at their next update to keep onion access, according to CryptoSlate. Existing installations must explicitly select Tor at their next setup or update, even though existing Tor data is preserved. Operators running the Bitcoin payment software BTCPay Server through its standard Docker deployment must explicitly select Tor at their next setup or update if they want to retain onion access.

The change removes Tor from the automatically included components, making a previously bundled service an administrator’s configuration choice. BTCPay detailed the deployment change in its Oct.

The official GitHub release page records the software release on Oct. For existing installations, the relevant trigger is their next Docker setup or update.
