[HamWAN PSDR] stream.westin.hamwan.net got an upgrade

[Bart Kus]

Here's the howto:

Restreamer as per default docker instructions.  Nginx as a reverse proxy 
(optional -- only for pleasant naming).  <many implementation snag 
details omitted>  Any detail beyond this ought to be expressed in 
automation, not English.

There is no backup.  This should definitely be fixed, but universally 
for all the VMs.
