[tor-relays] Uptime missing from Arm

[mistral.relay at posteo.net]

I just installed theonionbox again yesterday. What I think could be done 
easier is the actual installtion - just via apt so e.g. updates are 
applied automatically. Would be also great to have it set-up as daemon 
via apt or otherwise easily (I didn't managed to do so yet). For a quick 
check I think some stats about number of connections is missing. 
Generally, it would be great to have some more history data (I'm rather 
interested how the relay performed over the past weeks, months, years), 
however this would require some db-storage I assume (not that easy to 
implement). Currently, I use vnstat(i) for general (i.e. not directly 
tor) nw usage stats. I've also noticed that the webpage puts a high load 
on the browser (probably coming from real-time cpu- and heat-charts). 
Regarding cpu- and heat: I personally would be again rather interested 
in trends and historical data than in real-time But definitely a nice 
thing to have theonionbox; great work and many thanks!
