Comment:

 Hmm, there's one major issue with this approach: This change is backward-
 incompatible with respect to the hourly updater, which previously used
 `"."` as base directory rather than
 `"/srv/onionoo.torproject.org/onionoo"`.

 And another, minor issue is that we're now defining that path in multiple
 places. This seems bad for future maintenance, in particular if we ever
 want to rename Onionoo and update that path.

 How about we limit this change to just the server part and leave the
 hourly updater unchanged. That would implement this ticket. I could edit
 the patch, unless you'd rather want to do that.
