Re: [tor-dev] Docker images for help people to run Tor (teor)

Hi, I would like to share with the community some tests I've made for setting up a "swarm" of Tor relays. I setted up 3 exit relays and 3 middle relays on the same IPv4 address, to make some testing, and the entire swarm works like a charm. Due to Tor limitation, I have decided to build a template for preparing the cluster, and upload it to GitHub. You can find the example mini-cluster here: https://github.com/randomtable/ChimeraOS/tree/master/TorSwarm I have tested the exit capabilities on another network with different public IP address. All the relays have published their own descriptors, I have prepared the containers as a single, separated machines. The process is different from preparing a single relay, because of Docker build process. I have disabled caching during the cluster process, so i have been able to modify torrc without issues. Because its very interesting, attached to this e-mail there is the console Logs from the 6 relays. All containers are read-only, so the entire relay will destroy at the end of session. I hope this can be useful.
