Re: [tor-relays] FamilyGenerator: Tor MyFamily Generator




nonetheless I find it positive that Neel now finally has a (proper?) MyFamily
config probably because of this non-perfect way of collecting FPs.

Well, my relays don't use FamilyGenerator.

I still hope no one is using onionoo query results to alter their config *automatically*

I guess then I realized that generating MyFamily from Onionoo output is not such a good idea after all. I updated my GitHub page for "FamilyGenerator" to reflect these issues and put a link to this thread (so random people don't just use my software).

This effectively puts MaxMind in charge of MyFamily.

good point and I guess there is only a handful of operators with their
own AS anyway

- all your relays are under your own DNS domain and only you can generate DNS A records for that domain
and [1] is implemented
(note: these onionoo fields appear currently somewhat broken)

There is no attempt currently to perform any DNSSEC or other validation.

I was about to make a ticket for that when I wrote the last mail,
since using a DNSSEC validating resolver should not be a whole lot of effort.

Onionoo is useful for many things, but I don't think this is one of
them. Instead, you can use Ansible/Salt/Puppet/whatever to configure
MyFamily and there are plenty of ways out there to do this.

+1
