Hello,
I am attempting to set up a TOR relay on my raspberry pi on my home network (nickname: relaydetour). I had it set up and running, but now it seems to be offline. I hadn't changed any settings, and it's still flagged as "running" and "valid". Is it functional? And is it more likely a problem with my configuration or something more problematic? Please let me know. Thank you.

Thanks for running a relay.
If you are referring to the flags on Tor Metrics' Relay Search, these are the flags that the relay had the last time it was seen in a consensus.
As relays that are not running do not appear in the consensus anymore, you will pretty much always see a "Running" flag there.
This will just be from the last time it was running and doesn't necessarily mean that it is running now.
The green/red online/offline indicator will tell you the *actual* state of the relay (although this is also up to 2 hours behind).
Thanks, Iain.
Thank you for clarifying.
I had it online and was monitoring it with ARM, and it looks like it just went offline in the middle of the night. I hadn't changed anything. Could it be my ISP? Thanks again for your help

You asked this question in two different threads.
I answered it in my reply to the other thread: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2018-September/016251.html

It's a RPi v1.. and thanks I'll check those out when I get home a little later.

0.2.9.15 is a bit old. Have you tried to update? What do you have in /etc/apt/sources.list?
I believe RPi 2 and 3 can use https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en
Does tor --verify-config -f torrc give any clues?
Rob also very much an ab initio relay operator _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
Rob,
When I try to update it tells me that its already the most recent version of tor.
My sources list only has the rasperian sources (deb rasperian.raspberrypi.org/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi)
I can uncomment "deb-src rasperian.raspberrypi.....)
Should I have anything else there? Thanks again.
