Updated Tor Cloud images with fix for Tor upgrades

by Runa | August 10, 2012

The Tor Cloud images for all the seven regions have been updated to include the latest cloud image for stable Ubuntu release 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx). These new images are available on the Tor Cloud website.

The new images include a fix to allow Tor to upgrade automatically without requiring user intervention (#6511).

If you are already running a Tor Cloud bridge, you will need to either manually update your image, or set up a new Tor Cloud bridge and terminate the old one. If you decide not to take action, your image will fail to upgrade Tor correctly and will not be running as a bridge.

To manually update your image, do the following:

0. Log on with SSH
1. Open /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
2. Add the line: Dpkg::Options { --force-confold; }
3. Save and exit

Is there a way to access the standard configuration of one of those systems without the need to install one?
Some parts (i.e. the unattended upgrades configuration) can come handy for other tor node administrators too.

Hello
Thank you for the update. Would you consider making cloud images available for download?

I want to encourage my friends to run Tor relays, but they don't have time for configuring a distro from scratch with Tor.

It would be cool if they could just download a preconfigured Tor relay (exit or nonexit as a virtual appliance.

I didn't hear earlier just about social bookmarking. But, it seems to be really efficient. There can be a good reason to use the bookmarking services that will help with traffic optimization!
