This isn't ideal because it means you can't set up the system from an onion address

src/freedombone-app-matrix

 
     MATRIX_ONION_HOSTNAME=$(add_onion_service matrix ${MATRIX_PORT} ${MATRIX_ONION_PORT})
     echo "HiddenServicePort ${MATRIX_HTTP_PORT} 127.0.0.1:${MATRIX_FEDERATION_ONION_PORT}" >> /etc/tor/torrc
-    systemctl reload tor
+    systemctl restart tor

     function_check remove_onion_service
     remove_onion_service pelican ${PELICAN_ONION_PORT}
     remove_app pelican
-    systemctl reload tor
+    systemctl restart tor
 }
 
 function create_pelican_conf {

src/freedombone-app-tahoelafs

         shred -zu /etc/nginx/.htpasswd-tahoelafs
     fi
     remove_completion_param "tahoelafs commit"

 function onion_update {
     # update so that new onion services appear

 }
 
 function onion_service_exists {
