I found this templating tool really easy to use for my torrc:

https://github.com/tests-always-included/mo

Invocation is like so:

NICKNAME=$NICKNAME mo /tmp/host-config/torrc.mo > /tor/etc/torrc

And the corresponding torrc line is:

Nickname {{NICKNAME}}

IPv6 would work the same way.

Hello All,

I haven't had a chance to experiment with it yet, but can I source a
variable from the tor startup script, let's say the IPv6 address of an
instance, and define that within torrc as follows

ORPort [$Instance_IPv6_ADDR]:443

I'm sure if it's possible it would of already been done. I just wanted to
see if there was an easy fix for simplifying templates for end users.

Thanks,

Conrad
