Thanks. I'll think of something along the lines next time I have time to spend for documentation. What do you think about the private-key + hostname option? Too much of bad practice to implement it for the service? I was thinking of adding a (tor-relay-node) once I have the option to run a GuixSD system not in my home and/or other circumstances are solved which now prevent certain things. Maybe someone else can try and implement this, I only know what'S needed for running the relay but can't do it at the moment ;)
