Comment (by cohosh):

 More on deployment:

 I tried the following steps on snowflake-broker:
 - add `deb https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org stretch main` to
 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list
 - installed `tor-geoipdb` (which also installed `tor` and `torsocks`)
 - changed /etc/runit/snowflake-broker to:
 {{{
 exec chpst -u snowflake-broker /usr/local/bin/broker --acme-hostnames
 snowflake-broker.bamsoftware.com --acme-email dcf at torproject.org
 --metrics-log /home/snowflake-broker/metrics.log 2>&1
 }}}

 But I'm still getting the error message
 {{{ 2019/05/10 18:07:13 open metrics.log: permission denied }}}

 I see that snowflake-broker is the owner of `/home/snowflake-broker` but
 it's assigned to group nogroup. Is that the cause of this problem?
