[tor-relays] Tor relay software automatic updates

Hello I am running my tor relay “torland” on Mac OS X via this guide here https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-osx.html.en I am wondering, is there a way to configure the tor relaying software to automatically check for software updates and install them automatically if there are any?

[tor-relays] Consensus Weight Definiton

Hello, I am wondering, could you please explain exactly what “Consensus Weight” is? I had had a good uptime, about five days, then my darn computer that I run my relay off of froze for about 40 minutes this morning and I had no choice but to reboot the tor software, setting my current uptime

[tor-relays] Trouble with relay stability

Hello, due to a recent power outage at where I run my relay http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=db1af6477bb276b6ea5e72132684096eee779d30 Torland at, it could possibly have lost its stable flag (not sure yet). The outage is lasting about 3 hours or so. If I had the stable flag for

[tor-relays] Question on relay allowed downtime

Hello, So recently I had an uptime of about 3-4 days but then I had to restart my computer to install an operating system update (the OS in question being Mac OS X High Sierra). I know I am not to worry about what flags I have as long as I am not a bad relay, but am curious, what is the

Re: [tor-relays] Consensus Weight Definiton

Thank you. However another thing that is confusing me a little is that based off of my research, relays without the stable flag shouldn’t recurve much traffic; mine says it’s received a few gigabytes since the downtime 1 day ago. Thank you. It is acceptable not to have the stable flag and still

Re: [tor-relays] A general question for relay operators

➢ Has anyone wondered why the number of nodes is so incredibly low? If by that you mean why there are fewer relays than there are tor users (clients), I’d say there are several reasons for this. Not everybody can run a relay, it requires having a router that can smoothly handle the load (or data
