Comment (by traumschule):

 prop224/hsv3 has been tested for 5 months now, that does not make it
 stable and there still are reliability issues, but I wonder if this is a
 good time to create an 'alpha' subpage for the
 [https://torproject.org/docs/tor-onion-service.html onion service guide]
 to  "officially" explain how to configure [[doc/NextGenOnions]].

 This wiki page is locked, maybe it's a good time as well to unlock it to
 let admins share their experiences and to collect knowledge from tickets
 gathered in the last months. For example I wanted to add that {{{chmod 700
 -R /var/lib/tor}}} is a good idea. (There's quite a collection of sites
 showing many 'users'/admins ran into #19824, including myself several
 times :)

 I realized it is hard to write about how to configure onion services
 without mentioning hidden services, at least in torrc itself. What about
 the option to configure hsv3 this way:
 {{{
 OnionDir /var/lib/tor/onion_service
 OnionPort 80 127.0.0.1:80
 }}}
 This would make it easier to set them up, because it implies
 {{{HiddenServiceVersion 3}}} and actually deprecate the term
 HiddenService.
