Hello ! I have been hosting tor relay for 3 years and still have a version problem. Let me explain: at the installation of my relay no problem, then a few weeks after an additional flag appears when I consult the relay search tool to display the data on my relay:
This relay is running a Tor version that is not recommended by the directory authorities and may contain know issues. This includes both obsolete and experimental versions.
The version number used: Tor 0.3.4.9 on Linux
I have already tried to update packages without success via an apt-get update I would not want to have to reinstall my relay entirely.
What is the solution ?
Other questions, can you confirm to me that in case of migration on another server the only key files to preserve are:
- ed_master_id_secret_key - secret_id_key - secret_onion_key_ntor
I tried to copy these keys to another server without success. Are relays associated with the IP address of the server?
Sorry for my english ! thank you in advance for your help
The version number used: Tor 0.3.4.9 on Linux
currently recommended server versions are: 0.2.9.15, 0.2.9.16, 0.2.9.17, 0.3.4.10, 0.3.4.11, 0.3.5.7, 0.3.5.8, 0.4.0.1-alpha, 0.4.0.2-alpha

there is no need to reinstall the relay
What is the solution ?
you didn't say what OS you use but since you mentioned apt-get you are probably running debian or ubuntu. In that case you might want to use the Torproject's Debian packages.
Setup instructions can be found here:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en https://www.torproject.org/relay-guide
Using that repo will give you tor 0.3.5.8 (which is currently recommended)
Other questions, can you confirm to me that in case of migration on another server the only key files to preserve are:
- ed_master_id_secret_key
- secret_id_key
- secret_onion_key_ntor
simply copy the entire "keys" folder in your DataDirectory and make sure the filesystem permissions are set properly and you should be fine.

Good question - it turns out because of no reason.
Since ancient times I move the fingerprint file with the keys. Because of your question I set up a temporary clone without the old fingerprint file and everything is like it should be. So please let me improve my post like:
And forget the fingerprint file :)
Thanks and a nice weekend for everybody
