You will need to create a torrc configuration file (/etc/tor/torrc, /etc/tor/torrc2 and so on) for every Tor instance you want to run, and create a new data directory (/var/lib/tor, /var/lib/tor2 and so on) as well. Make sure you properly set these settings: - DataDirectory must be unique. - SOCKSPort must be unique (or just disable it by setting it to 0). - ControlPort must be unique. - ORPort must be unique. - DirPort must be unique. - MyFamily must list the fingerprints of your other relay instances (but don't do this for bridges). - ContactInfo must be set on all relay instances. - It's convenient to make Nickname unique as well. Note that you can only run two Tor relay instances on one IP address. I believe that bridges are excluded from this rule. After that you can spin up the new relay instances with `tor -f /path/to/torrc`. On OpenBSD I just symlink the rc.d scripts and add the -f flag, I imagine that something equally simple can be done for systemd-based systems as well. Imre
