Thanks.
I'll think of something along the lines next time I have time to spend
for documentation.
What do you think about the private-key + hostname option? Too much
of bad practice to implement it for the service?
I was thinking of adding a (tor-relay-node) once I have the option to
run a GuixSD system not in my home and/or other circumstances are
solved which now prevent certain things.
Maybe someone else can try and implement this, I only know what'S needed
for running the relay but can't do it at the moment ;)
