Question regarding variables in torrc
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.

the torrc has no template support AFAIK - you would have to use a configuration management for that, but maybe the torrc %include functionality is somewhat useful for you -- https://twitter.com/nusenu_ https://mastodon.social/@nusenu
I found this templating tool really easy to use for my torrc: https://github.com/tests-always-included/mo <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. —mkb
