Re: [tor-relays] MyFamily line commented out but stays valid?

If memory serves, if you're running multiple nodes on the same IP or in 
the same /24 tor protocol automatically families any nodes running in 
the same /24

Nyx or arm must be called as root to save the config.

Look at the torrc file with nano or vim.


I always edit the torrc with nano and use nyx only to reload the torrc 
so this cant be the reason.___

I just setup a C8 / 0.4 yesterday on a linode nanode, seems to be 
running fine so far:

Subject: [tor-relays] Migrating to CentOS8


Hi folks

I'm considering migrating my relays from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8 and 
upgrading tor from 0.3.5.8 to 0.4.1.6
One small VM relay at home is running the C8/0.4 setup and seems to be 
ok


According to bodhi, this is supposed to be stable
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=tor

Before migrating the others, I prefer to cross-check: is there anyone 
aware of issues with C8 and tor 0.4.x??


Thanks!

Re: [tor-relays] The Onion Box v19.2: Dashboard to monitor Tor node operations

[ECAN - Matt Westfall]

This looks promising then, especially as I intend to expand the tor 
nodes I'm donating to the network.  Just added a middle in Japan 
yesterday :)


I'll definitely check it out, thanks for the effort put into this!!

node operations



Hello Matt,
thank you for this question.
For a share of the information displayed you are right. This is due to 
the fact that the metrics page and The Onion Box both display data from 
Onionoo.
The relevant difference yet is that the Box attaches to the node to 
monitor it, whereas the metrics view is based on data that the node 
releases to the Tor network. As there's no demand for the Box to ensure 
anonymity (the dashboard is - usually - operated by s/o trustful), it 
does display as well enhanced and more detailled data that metrics 
shall not distribute. Thus the Box shows - as some examples - the 
configuration data of the node (as the node understood it), a live view 
of the up-/downloaded bandwidth (resolution 1/s vs 1/24h @ metrics), 
the messages that the node emits - and provides a mean to switch 
message levels with just one click. Some of those data - perhaps even 
all of it - may be found somewhere ... and the Box does what a dashboad 
does: It displays information from different sources in context for 
easier access - to support analysis and understanding.
The ControlCenter creates an even more focused survey and allows 
(family) operators to verify the healthyness of a number of nodes (of 
his / her family) on a single page - displaying for each node e.g. live 
bandwith data and the status flags, as well as giving access to the 
detail dashboard (if necessary in case of trouble). I don't think this 
is a feature elsewhere available in the Tor universe.
I yet know that these words just express my personal opinion. If you 
still have concerns I'd be happy to discuss with you - perhaps off list 
- what you would demand to get additonal value from an Onion Box.

Greetings,
Ralph

Betreff: Re: [tor-relays] The Onion Box v19.2: Dashboard to monitor Tor 
node operations
As far as I can tell, this just gives you a graphical representation of 
the data available from metrics.torproject.. which already has 
graphs... I'm confused.


Can you elaborate as to why someone should look into running this?

Thanks,

Good evening to the list!
It's been a while since you've heard news about The Onion Box 
.
This was due to the fact that I spent some time to implement the 
ControlCenter, as ability to monitor several (better: as many as you 
like) Tor nodes in parallel. This picture 
 
gives you an impression of a ControlCenter in action.
The latest version 
 is 
still labeled 'beta', yet seems stable enough to be released for 
broader testing.
Documentation 
 is 
not finalized so far, but I'm convinced it is supportive enough to 
lead you over the low hurdles to setup your box.
To upgrade your installation via pip 
, please use 'pip 
install theonionbox==19.2b3 --upgrade' ... as it would otherwise still 
pull the latest stable release (v4.3.1).
Please note that the support for Python 2 was dropped, so you have to 
use Python 3.6 or higher to operate your Onion Box.

Any feedback ist highly appreciated. Enjoy!

Greetings,
Ralph

Re: [tor-relays] "large number of connections to other relays" - What should I do?

[ECAN - Matt Westfall]

I noticed this yesterday when setting up a new node.

It's because Tor establishes a bunch of internal circuits for testing 
and stability when you first start it up so it can measure it and such.


Mine went away after about 24 hours.

Hi

I'm running a new non-exit relay on my server which has a shared 
address, and I often see the following message in my log file:


Your relay has a very large number of connections to other relays. Is 
your outbound address the same as your relay address?


Do I have to worry about that? If the answer is yes, what should I do?___
