Sci-Hub Downloader
This container allows to download PDF files from Sci-Hub onion site (through Tor Network) indicating a DOI.
### Disclaimer
I am not responsible for the illegitimate use of this tool. E.g., the download of non-open-access papers or even those if this method is not allowed by the editors.
## Getting the image
### Local build
`docker build -t scihub-downloader .`
### Docker Hub
`docker pull brunneis/scihub-downloader`
## Run the container
### Local build
`docker run -id --name scihub-downloader -p 80:80 -v $(pwd)/local_shared_dir:/var/www/html:Z scihub-downloader`
### Docker Hub
`docker run -id --name scihub-downloader -p 80:80 -v $(pwd)/local_shared_dir:/var/www/html:Z brunneis/scihub-downloader`
> It takes a while to be connected to the Tor network, so it's advisable waiting a minute before starting to download files.

The DOI is [`110.1000/xyz123`] in the following execution example (not valid):
`docker exec scihub-downloader /download.py "10.1000/xyz123"`
