What's new

• Added a new Frigate bonus guide, original author @j4b4t0.

  • Renamed the user, systemd service, and PostgreSQL database from generic Nostr Relay naming to Nostr RS Relay-specific software naming to support future relay software guides.

  • The Upgrade section has been updated to include the two new installation methods added.
• Bitcoin Knots bonus guide actions:
  • Added new Bitcoin Knots compatible Extra sections from Bitcoin client: Bitcoin Core guide
