Sorry, still quite new here, the MyFamily concept has yet to come in my knowledge base :)

No. Or better, not yet.

I started this mainly as a personal project, just because I wanted to deploy a Tor relay on a already “puppetized” VPS I have, then I got some feedback on #tor about how I was doing it wrong, so I thought it was a good idea to spend a little more time to make it available for a general use.

I’ll try now to understand what’s involved in having multiple instances running on the same node, but I guess there’s the need for a radical different approach (i.e. not following https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#ubuntu as I did for building the module in the first place)
