Hi,

Thanks for this. But why do you want to run your bridge instance among
the same Tor daemon as the one handling Tor Browser?

If you are on Debian, install Tor package separately with apt-get
install tor (recommended you add deb.torproject.org to your
apt/sources.list file so you get the latest versions all the time -
see https://www.sky-ip.org/configure-relay-debian-ubuntu.html )

overwrite the torrc file with this:
ORPort 443
ExtORPort auto
Nickname <#yourdesirednickname>
ContactInfo <#someemailaddresshere>
BridgeRelay 1
ExitPolicy reject *:*

While you are at it, you might want to install obf4s4proxy package and
provide a pluggable transport bridge. (deb
http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org obfs4proxy main) and add in
torrc:
ServerTransportPlugin obfs3,obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
ServerTransportListenAddr obfs3 [::]:<#someport>
ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 [::]:<#someport>
