I am supposed to use tor-instance-create tor{1,2} [1] systemctl enable tor@tor1 etc.
but what goes in the individual tor@tor1 torrc in /etc/tor/instances/tor1/torrc and what goes in the main instance in /etc/tor/torrc?
/etc/tor/torrc is not used as the defaults torrc file. It's the torrc file for tor@default.service, and /etc/tor/defaults-torrc (?) is its defaults file.
/etc/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc-instances is the template file for each instance's defaults torrc file. You can use it to name instances and set common torrc options.
When you create additional tor instances on the same host you can treat their torrc files individually with two exceptions:
- don't run more than 2 instances per IP
- (and obviously do not use same ports to bind to / data dirs)
Using /etc/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc-instances is easier, unless you use something even more automated:
If you run more than a single host you might also want to look into something that does all that the work (and more) for you https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor
