[tor-relays] simple relay setup

[Alexander Dietrich]

If you want this to run mostly hands-off, please install and properly 
configure the Debian package "unattended-upgrades". Make sure all the 
packages on the system are updated automatically, not only Tor! Verify 
that this actually happens. (One thing I learned in the past is that 
without the package "update-notifier-common", your system won't reboot 
automatically to activate new kernels.)

Locking yourself out of the system doesn't sound like a good idea. 
(Sometimes kernels are installed on a relatively small /boot partition, 
you will occasionally have to login and remove old kernels in that 
case.) Disable password logins and use a SSH key with a good passphrase 
on it.

Best regards,
Alexander
