Adds a "I want my own hosted relay" path to Getting started with a one-click Railway deploy button.

Buzz today asks anyone who wants a real relay to take the build-from-source route. This gives non-developers a hosted option: the template provisions the relay plus Postgres, Redis, and media storage, runs migrations, and generates the owner identity on first boot — no configuration.

The listing is flagged community-maintained, not an official Block build, so there's no implied ownership. Happy to adjust wording, placement, or drop the button and keep just a link if you'd prefer.

Template deploys green end-to-end; the owner key is surfaced as a paste-ready nsec1… in the deploy logs, and one deployment can host multiple communities by hostname.

Note: this supersedes the stale #984 — that template modeled a since-removed Typesense service and didn't run migrations.

Adds a 'I want my own hosted relay' path to Getting started with a Railway
deploy button. The template stands up the relay plus Postgres, Redis and
media storage, runs migrations, and generates the owner identity on first
boot, so trying Buzz with a real relay no longer requires the from-source
path. Flagged as community-maintained, not an official build.
