Re: [tor-relays] Questions regarding arm on Debian



I made the experience, that the packages from torproject.org wont work with debian jessie.
if you use the debian-sources and -packages everything works fine.

I removed the jessie tor package now and installed the version from the
torproject repo which is 0.2.8.9.
There was alot of things done regarding systemd in that new version it
seems. They added sd-notify and
a service file for instantiated services. I am using tor@default.service
and everything works now.

So it propably was my own service file which did not all the things
needed to set up tor for startup.
For example this ExecStartPre command: /usr/bin/install -Z -m 02755 -o
debian-tor -g debian-tor -d /var/run/tor
and also starting tor with parameter --defaults-torrc
/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc.

Thanks everybody
