Re: [tor-relays] how to set-up multiple debian relays at once

2018-06-17 Thread I
Thank you, nusenu and neel for giving proper answers.

It seems that nusenu's Relayor via Ansible is exactly what I was thinking of.
The question was about running a lot bargain VPSs around the planet.

I'll give it a look and see how I go.

2018-06-16 Thread Neel Chauhan
Are you talking about multiple instances on one VPS, or multiple VPS 
instances?


If you have multiple VPS instances, and your VPS provider supports 
imaging, you can just copy the images to as many relays as you want. If 
you go this route, just make sure that you haven't let Tor generate a 
relay private key yet (so don't run Tor with ORPort before creating your 
image)


You can also use scripts for setting up Tor relays with tools like 
Ansible, Docker, etc. For instance, an Ansible role:


https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor

If you want multiple instances on a single VPS, Debian has something 
handy called tor-instance-create:


http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/tor-instance-create.8.html

I don't know enough about Debian (I run FreeBSD). If you don't like 
tor-instance-create and are willing to use FreeBSD, they also make it 
easy to have multiple instances on a single computer:

you don't need an additional VPS just for ansible, 
you can make one of your relays the ansible controller.

Thank you Nusenu for your many sensible contributions on this list.

I stumble at the need for a Linux master machine.
Do I therefore need a Linux VM or a VPS just for the controller?
