Hello

I’m working to set up some Tor relays using Amazon/AWS EC2. I set up an initial one (running on Ubuntu) and it seemed to be working so I created an image of it (AMI), and attempted to set up another relay in a different region using that AMI. However the problem I’ve run into is that both relays have the same fingerprint.

Is it possible to generate a new fingerprint for 1 of my relays? Or is there something else more fundamental I’m doing wrong?

Maybe the answer is that I should be using the ansible-relayor! But I wanted to check if using AMIs was possible.

Cheers,  
Dave
