[tor-relays] relay on a vps not exclusively used for tor?

Hey!
Thx for adding a relay ;)
About my vps relay, there's a webserver running behind with munin to
monitor/graph everything. (only my home IP is able to connect to this
webserver)
CPU is not used 100% all the time, so there is Boinc running behind to
help worldcommunitygrid.org against cancer, ebola, zika...

This vps is helping for Tor network (human rights and freedom)(sharing
network) + human health at same time (sharing cpu)
Server is now 95% used for some good things on my opinion.

I think those softwares running behind are safe? and are not against Tor
security?

Having a little owncloud for you on your vps can't be a bad on my
opinion, if you always update softwares and OS...
If I'm not wrong, an admin will always say 1 task = 1 server...

Other notices are welcome ;)
