The tor package from deb.torproject.org ships a little script that helps
you with that:

tor-instance-create

https://gitweb.torproject.org/debian/tor.git/tree/debian/tor-instance-create.8.txt

torrc files will be located under
/etc/tor/instances/<instance-name>/torrc

and you can use the usual systemctl commands to manage them
systemctl start tor@<instance-name>



Or if you are planing to run more than one server or want to use the
relatively new OfflineMaster key feature without all the manual steps
you can take a look at ansible to manage your tor instances.
