When the script got to the task Restart Tor so the obfsproxy ports and server fingerprint will be available in the state file, and the hidden service for the Gateway will start running it it failed with an error about the nickname being invalid.

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

What seems to have happened is that the grep -v "'" /usr/share/dict/american-english | sort -R | tail -n 2 | xargs | sed -e 's/ //' | cut -c 1-16 command managed to pick a nickname that is invalid. In my case it was visualizingDvorÃ.

The only way I found to solve the issue was to SSH into the server and run grep -v "'" /usr/share/dict/american-english | sort -R | tail -n 2 | xargs | sed -e 's/ //' | cut -c 1-16 > /etc/tor/bridge_nickname to get a new nickname. Either that or deleting the server and starting from scratch.

I'm not sure how to fix this except somehow check that the nickname is valid and get a new nickname if it isn't.

It looks like 'Dvorák' was one of the randomly chosen words that it pulled from the dictionary. I didn't think there were non-alphanumeric characters in the word list. This should be pretty easy to fix. I'm working on it now.
