Hey!
I'm planning to try the "ansible-relayor" to deploy some Tor relay instances. If I'm not wrong, it's a main goal ? 2 instances / IP...
(soooory for being really noob about this!!!)
But I'm lost... not found a tutorial, step by step, you know the tutorial so loved by all noobs!
For now, on a fresh Debian8 install, there are : - tor 0.2.9.8 (fresh install from depo, client is ok when opening log file) - ansible - ansible-galaxy install nusenu.relayor - git clone https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor (the folder is stored in my /home...)
Will it configure (automatically) many torrc file per instance ? +every key files /relay ? (I'm not too much lost!) Do have I to do this install on every server built ? Or relayor can manage few servers on different locations ? Command lines list use this tool if available ?
Many thx for help !!! (and hard work for this tool :)

You really don't need any third party software to run multiple tor instances on the same IP. The only requirements that I know of would be different ports for your or/dirports per relay and sufficient bandwidth. I don't believe adding "Family" parameters is essential. Once you get into /etc/tor/torrc, the default directory where torrc lives, you'll find it's not all that complicated, just ask away here after trying to honestly to research, attempt, various settings on your own. People here are very forthcoming and knowledgeable.

I'll write one within the next 7 seven days.

yes.

ansible is only needed on the "ansible controller machine" (usually a client laptop). The target server only need python installed.
Or relayor can manage few servers on different locations ?
Yes.
Thx all for your answers !
@Nusenu, No stress, take your time, no problem ! So 1 "master" will be able to config few relays on different locations, nice feature.
@Kust, exact it can be done by hand, but I'm happy to try a tool made by an active dev in this community ;) And I'm sure if a cool documentation is written for noobz like me, more people will use this tool to easily deploy relays, and may be more ideas will come ;)
Nusenu, take your time, and it will be possible for me to try with VMs on my LAN. So, only 1 "master" computer with linux is ok... then only python is needed on servers ? Nice, it can be easy to test before production :)
Thx in advance.

I like to use ansible as well - one question:
~/ansible/hosts:
[relays] relay1.example.com relay2.example.com
Do/can I place the IP address of my servers there or do only domain names work?
Thanks Paul

It's perfectly OK to use IP addresses in Ansible's host inventory. However you should be using the same hostname as the one set in your SSH config file (usually under ~/.ssh/config).
Ansible documentation should get you started [1].

Yes, you can use hostnames or IP addresses, I'll update that page to make that clear. thanks for your question
