Services
NoteReplace every change-me in .env with a long random password (openssl rand -base64 24) before the first start: databases keep the first password they are given.
NoteDatabase ports are bound to 127.0.0.1, so only this server can reach them. Never publish them on all addresses: Docker's ports bypass UFW.
