Move to dedicated Postgres and netbird-only SSH; DB password to .env

docker-compose.yml had drifted from the committed version during the move to
this host: a dedicated gitea-postgres service replaces the shared postgres-db
on the LAN box, and SSH is now published on the netbird interface only
(100.75.252.111:2222) instead of 0.0.0.0.

The database password is no longer inline — both POSTGRES_PASSWORD and
GITEA__database__PASSWD read ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD} from .env (gitignored,
mode 0600). .env.example documents the key, and *.bak-* is now ignored.

Note: run docker compose from this directory, otherwise .env is not picked up
and the variable resolves empty.

+# Gitea
 
+Self-hosted Gitea instance running on Docker Compose with a remote PostgreSQL database and automated daily backups.
+
+## Services
+
+- **gitea** — Web UI on port `3008`, SSH on port `2222`
+- **gitea-backup** — Alpine sidecar running a daily cron job at 2 AM
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## Backups
+
+Backups run automatically at 2 AM daily, writing `gitea-dump-*.zip` files to `/mnt/nasen/backup/gitea` with 7-day retention.
+
+Run a manual backup:
+
+```bash
+docker exec gitea-backup /usr/local/bin/backup.sh
+```
+
+Check backup logs:
+
+```bash
+docker exec gitea-backup cat /var/log/backup.log
+```
