I want to monitor my new tor relay (set up on a raspbian pi 3 by migrating my former relay incl. keys) with nyx. When try to start nyx by "nyx" in the command line "Tor controller password" is prompted.
I can't find a password except the hashpassword in the torrc-file but that doesn't work.
I tried to set a password by "tor --hash-password <password>" but it didn't work as well.
When I start nyx with sudo it works and I can see that tor is doing well.
You need to add the user you run nyx as to the debian-tor group.
The instructions are here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25890#comment:1
They should be in the Nyx FAQ or relay guide soon. I have cc'd the people who are making that change.
