Basically every relay operator who wants to make use of available system
ressources (CPU, RAM, bandwidth) has to run multiple tor instances on a
single host, but the current init script does not include such a feature
and everyone who needs it has to hack something togheter on their own.
This ticket is about modifying/extending /etc/init.d/tor (shipped with
your debian packages) to allow for easy multi-tor instance handling.
The idea is to introduce an new boolean "MULTI_INSTANCE" in
/etc/default/tor
If MULTI_INSTANCE is set to "yes" the init script would start a tor
instance per every available
*.torrc file in /etc/tor, in all other cases proceed as usual (current
behaviour).
This allows for an easy and transparent transitioning.
If this is acceptable to you I would go ahead and implement it based on
this script that is currently used by torservers:
https://gist.github.com/7adietri/9122199
https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server#multiple_tor_processes
but doesn't include the opt-in (MULTI_INSTANCE boolean) yet.
