Hi,
After 7+ years of running a relay on DigitalOcean, I have decided to move it somewhere else, as there are cheaper options.
I kept the same keys and fingerprint and it seems that it has been picked up correctly on Atlas/Tor metrics, as it is showing with the new IP.
I believe that this relay was listed as a fallback directory mirror - how can I check this?
According to the doc[1] I should open a ticket to signal the change or write here. The link[2] for opening the ticket seems broken, so here I am.
Also, I am wondering if I should have done this *before* moving the relay, if that's the case I think it could be worth putting a note in the FAQ about upgrading/moving a node[3].
Best,
Cristian

You should have the "Fallbackdir" flag on Metrics website.

We have changed how fallback directories are choosen and sadly failed to update the Gitlab Wiki (we'll get on that).
It doesn't require intervention from operators anymore as we pick them randomly from the list of relays that match a series of criteria (uptime, stability, ...).
And that list is re-generated at every new Tor stable release.
Thanks for running a relay! David
