This module helps you run Tor relays by installing, configuring, and managing Tor service instances.

The main tor class manages the installation options.

The tor::instance type manages a Tor instance configuration.

You must first include the main class with: include ::tor', then you can create an instance with:

tor::instance { 'foo':
  settings => {
    Nickname => 'foo',
    OrPort   => 9050,
    DirPort  => 9030,
  }
}

The instances parameters of the main class, will be passed to create_resources.

You may put you configuration options in hiera:

---
tor::instances:
  foo:
    settings:
      Nickname: 'foo'
      OrPort: 9050
      DirPort: 9030

Optional. String. Sets the name of the Tor package (default: tor).

Optional. String. Controls the package resource's ensure attribute (default: present).

See Resource Type: package for a list of allowed values.

Optional. Stdlib::Absolutepath. Sets the directory where Tor's configuration files are located (default: /etc/tor).

Option. Stdlib::Absolutepath. Sets the directory where Tor's instances configuration files are located (default: /etc/tor/instances).

Option. Hash. Sets the instances that will be passed to create_resources.

• tor::params
• tor::install: handles the packages installation.
• tor::config: handles the configuration file management.

Optional. String (absent or present).

Optional. Hash. Sets the Tor instance configuration values (default: an empty hash).

To repeat the torrc options multiple times, you can use an Array as value for members of settings.

For instance:

tor::instance { "foo":
  settings => {
    Nickname => 'foo',
    OrPort   => [ 9050, "9051 NoAdvertise" ]
    DirPort  => 9030,
  }
}
