Hi,

the debian tor package maintainer implemented the multi-instance feature
request [1][2][3]. Thanks Peter!

If you want to learn more about it, have a look at tor-instance-create(8):

https://gitweb.torproject.org/debian/tor.git/tree/debian/tor-instance-create.8.txt?id=630fbe70f6d21b31253dacb1720a3295b2ea2ed0

Once tor 0.2.7.x stable is release I'll start playing with it and change
ansible-relayor [4] to make use of that new functionality on debian
systems by default - instead of implementing it via the ansible role
itself (current behavior).


We have quite good multi-instance support across multiple systems now
(Fedora, CentOS, Debian, OpenBSD). FreeBSD is still somewhat of a hack -
but it works as well.
