Thank you for running a relay, and thank you for letting us know.

You can shut down the relay as soon as you need to. We designed Tor clients so 
they work even when most of the fallbacks are down. We regularly monitor the 
list of fallbacks, and start a rebuild when 25% go down.

[tor-relays] Shutdown of fallback directory mirror armbrust: E781F4EC69671B3F1864AE2753E0890351506329

2019-01-26 Thread Michael Armbruster
Dear tor-relay list,

After a long time maintaining an exit relay that was also chosen to be a
fallback directory mirror, I decided that the time has come to shut the
relay down.

It has only financial reasons (being a cheap server, but still using
money out of my own pocket) and I will stay a happy user of Tor and, of
course, will provide a new relay as soon as my financial situation gets
better.

How should we proceed and how long should I still let the fallback
mirror run in order to gracefully migrate the fallback status away from
my server? I do not want to disappear immediately without any further
notice, so I wanted to ask how to further proceed.

Kind regards,
Michael Armbruster
