 * At least 2 CPU cores
 * 1.5GB RAM
 * 50GB disk

 This host will generate a lot of network activity, and will do a lot of
 crypto operations. I'm afraid I don't have the data to quantify "a lot"
 yet.

 Please give this host a DNS name, and do not change any of the existing
 DNS names for the old service at this time.

 Please install the following packages from Debian:

 python-dnspython
 python-stem
 python3-stem
 git

 Please allow users in the check and tordnsel groups to log in, they should
 also have home directories.

 Please install Apache, configure a virtualhost with the name
 check.torproject.org, and an alias of the server's hostname for initial
 setup.

 Reverse proxy all requests to port 8080 on that virtualhost, except for
 /exit-addresses which should be a symlink to
 /srv/?.torproject.org/lists/latest and /lists which should be an autoindex
 with a document root of that same lists directory that latest lives in.

 Let me know if anything needs clarification. I could also review the
 puppet if you point me at where to find it.
