You would need to remove the tor keyfile before creating the image so that a new hash is made of each new node when they first run tor. Other wise might get loads of nodes with same hash, not sure what that would mean for network. I am also running a pi relay and would like a copy of the tweaks you made. Maybe a blog post would be worth it to direct others in future. T. On Aug 1, 2013 8:47 PM, "Gordon Morehouse" gordon@morehouse.me wrote:

I don't know if you have any sensitive data on your raspberry, but it might make sense to create a SD-Card image, since tor will probably be the only application and the hardware will be absolutely identical. This would eliminate the loving care part and less people would give up.
But I don't want to create more work than you already have. If you don't have the time to create an image, maybe I will try do it myself.
That's actually not a bad idea, though there'd be a bit of editing and setup required.
But yeah, might be that somebody else gets to it before me - but it's on my mind now. Thanks.

Ok that is good to know. Right know I will probably run it on 1-1.5
Mbps
and later on 3-4 Mbps. What is the maximum your raspberry is capable to do? Please let me know if you publish your tutorial.
I had it pushing about 1.5Mbps and crashing only about once a week before I started having TCP connect floods and had to take it offline until I could pay attention for a while. I'm still tuning it. It crashed much, much more often before some basic tuning, though.
And my plan is to publish my results to the entire list, because at $35, Raspberry Pis can make *great* relays for slower home broadband, but they need a little tender loving care first. :)
I hope to have something up in a week or two, I need to watch it for a while and continue to tweak, and maybe develop a solution for the TCP storms that can bring down a lot of consumer routers, before publishing for all.
