I think that just leaves a couple questions for now:
- I know the directory authority's certificate needs to be
renewed periodically (looks like 12 months default). Since it asked for a password that is something I need to do manually then send a HUP, correct? Later on I'll try to hack generating a cert with days or hours of time just to see what happens, but would like to know what the correct way to handle it is.
Yes, you will need to generate new authority certificates when they expire.
Look at "man tor-gencert" for more details - you may be able to enter a blank password, or generate a new certificate and send a HUP on a cron job. Alternately, look at the chutney source code for how it's done there. (This isn't my area of expertise.)
- All of my routers have done the bandwidth tests, but I see this warning
on the DAs with each vote:
Apr 22 22:39:41.000 [warn] Consensus with empty bandwidth: G=0 M=5 E=0 D=243 T=248
Is this something that will fill out as the uptime of the instances increase? Or is this something I should look into?
I think you need to run a separate bandwidth authority to get bandwidths in your consensus. This probably isn't necessary for your purposes, as your instances are all on the same host.
It's also not something that chutney does, and chutney networks function fine.
