I used to use Puppet and Foreman, but I've now just taken to SSH'ing into each exit and manually maintaining them. On September 4, 2018 2:11:59 AM UTC, "Isaac Grover, Aileron I.T." <igrover@aileronit.com> wrote:

Hello, what maintenance actions do you take? I merely keep the operating system up to date, which includes the tor package. So i do not ssh regularly into my machines. Sometimes maybe once a week. What are you guys doing every day? Am 04.09.18 um 07:36 schrieb Spiros Andreou:

If they're cheap VPSs, as mine are, the nongs who run them keep stopping them or doing something which affects them.. Rob

I'm in the process of revamping Emerald Onion's documentation to detail exactly that. https://emeraldonion.org/hardenedbsd/ Thanks, -- Shawn Webb Cofounder and Security Engineer HardenedBSD Tor-ified Signal: +1 443-546-8752 Tor+XMPP+OTR: lattera@is.a.hacker.sx GPG Key ID: 0x6A84658F52456EEE GPG Key Fingerprint: 2ABA B6BD EF6A F486 BE89 3D9E 6A84 658F 5245 6EEE

My relay VMs are provisioned with Terraform. Once the VMs are up, Terraform copies over a shell script which installs and configures everything. Relay keys, configs, etc live on a separate volume so that relays keep the same identities even when I rebuild the VMs from scratch. I can destroy all the VMs and the automation will bring them back up with the same fingerprints. To make working on the config easier, the shell script is idempotent so I can re-run it on an existing VM without reprovisioning. —mkb
