For OrNetStats https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/ it is crucial that the upstream data source (onionoo: https://metrics.torproject.org/onionoo.html) also gets support for 'happy families'.

Here is the feature request in case you want to upvote or watch it:

If you want to play with the new 'happy families' feature you need todays tor from git and here is some documentation:

Today a long awaited new method to declare tor relay families got merged into tor, the so called "happy families" proposal.

This will make it a lot simpler for relay operators to add relays to an existing family because already running relays do not require any reconfiguration.

The new design also significantly reduces the size of microdescriptors. The old MyFamily design makes up over 80% of microdescriptors.

The new and old design will coexist for a while.

relayor still does NOT support Ubuntu 24.04 LTS because upstream does not provide debian packages for it.

This is the relevant issue:
