[003] Add Forgejo stack behind Caddy at git.waldson.com.br

Run a single-user, self-hosted git server on the droplet. New forgejo/ compose
stack on proxy_net: git-over-SSH is published on host 2222 (container sshd on 22)
so the host's admin sshd keeps port 22, while the web UI (3000) is unpublished
and reached only through the central Caddy, which gains a git.waldson.com.br
reverse-proxy block. SQLite backs the instance and all state - repos, database,
generated app.ini, SSH host keys - lives in the forgejo_data volume, so a
force-recreate preserves every user and repository.

The full configuration is injected via FORGEJO__ environment variables and
written into app.ini on startup: registration disabled, Forgejo Actions
disabled, and DOMAIN/SSH_DOMAIN/SSH_PORT set so clone URLs carry the right host
and port. INSTALL_LOCK skips the web installer, so the single admin is created
from the CLI; the security posture survives recreation instead of depending on
installer clicks. README documents the deploy, admin-creation, SSH-config, and
upgrade runbook.

## Forgejo stack
A single-user Forgejo instance (the owner's self-hosted git server) at
`git.waldson.com.br`. It lives in `forgejo/` and deploys to
`/home/waldson/central-proxy/forgejo` on the droplet.
Only git-over-SSH is published on the host (`2222/tcp`), so the host's admin
sshd keeps port 22. The web UI (`3000`) is **not** published; it is reached only
through Caddy at `git.waldson.com.br`. The central `Caddyfile` carries the
`git.waldson.com.br` block. SQLite is the database, and the whole instance is
configured from environment variables in `compose.yaml` (registration disabled,
Forgejo Actions disabled, correct clone-URL host/port), so the security posture
is reproduced on every recreate rather than depending on installer clicks.
### Where data lives
Everything - git repositories, the SQLite database (`/data/gitea/gitea.db`), the
generated `app.ini`, and the container's SSH host keys - lives in the
`forgejo_data` named Docker volume mounted at `/data`. That one volume is the
entire instance, so `docker compose up -d --force-recreate` preserves all users
and repositories. Never `docker volume rm forgejo_data`: it discards every repo
and account. (Off-site backup of this volume is a separate slice: a nightly
`forgejo dump` into a Syncthing-shared folder.)
### Deploy
From `forgejo/` on the droplet:
```sh
docker compose up -d
```
The container comes up as `forgejo-forgejo-1` on `proxy_net`, which is the name
Caddy reverse-proxies to. Recreating it preserves users and repositories:
```sh
docker compose up -d --force-recreate
```
### First-run setup (interactive)
The web installer is locked (`INSTALL_LOCK=true`), so the single admin account
is created from the CLI once, after the container is first up:
```sh
docker exec -u git forgejo-forgejo-1 \
forgejo admin user create \
--admin --username <admin> --email <you@example.com> \
--random-password --must-change-password
```
Log in at `https://git.waldson.com.br`, change the password, and add your SSH
public key under Settings -> SSH / GPG Keys. Registration is already disabled, so
there is no sign-up path for anyone else.
### Cloning over SSH (port 2222)
Forgejo advertises `ssh://git@git.waldson.com.br:2222/<user>/<repo>.git`. To keep
remotes short (`git@git.waldson.com.br:<user>/<repo>.git`) on a personal machine,
add this to `~/.ssh/config`:
```
Host git.waldson.com.br
HostName git.waldson.com.br
Port 2222
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
```
With that entry, `git clone git@git.waldson.com.br:<user>/<repo>.git` works
without spelling out the port. HTTPS clone/pull works through Caddy with no SSH
setup at all: `git clone https://git.waldson.com.br/<user>/<repo>.git`.
### Upgrade
The image is pinned to a Forgejo major version (`codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:11`).
Patch and minor updates within that major are safe:
```sh
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
```
A major bump (editing the tag to the next number) runs one-way database
migrations. Do it one major at a time, back up `forgejo_data` first, and read the
Forgejo release notes before changing the tag.
