Hello all, is there anyway I can run a tor relay along side another service (ie. immich) on the same sever without it going through the tor network?
I don’t see any problem with that as long as you’re using a different port than your relay ORPort.
But some network adversaries like ISPs or state level Internet censorship will begin blocking access to your relay IP because… well it’s a Tor relay. If you are in a place or using an ISP that might do this, your service might become unavailable to you.
I live in the UK so the ISP blocking my IP shoudnt be a problem. I was thinking of hosting a jellyfin server alongside my relay and maybe something like wireguard aswell. Do you think this would work?
Yeah, running other services alongside a Tor relay is generally fine as long as they’re on different ports and you’re comfortable with the possibility that the relay IP might get flagged by some networks. For personal services like Jellyfin or WireGuard, it should work — just make sure they aren’t exposed to the open internet unless you specifically intend them to be. Keeping them behind a firewall or LAN-only is usually the safer route.
