 two parts...

 its trac section].

 That section is about configuring a tor relay (Nyx is optional and
 shouldn't be in the steps that everyone needs to perform to setup a
 relay).

 The question is: Should the relay-guide's scope include Nyx configuration
 steps or is that on nyx.tpo?
 I'd prefer if Nyx documentation lives on nyx.tpo because Damian knows
 better what future changes in Nyx require an update of the documentation.

 The part that could live in the relay-guide is where I cover the
 requirements that Nyx has on the tor configuration (i.e. ControlSocket).

 I could envision a new section in the relay guide named:

 "Configuring tor for use with Nyx (optional)"
 - steps required for every currently supported platform

 and located before the "Tor relay lifecycle" section.
