librelad 934193d901 copy: drop deployment trivia from app descriptions
App descriptions are read by people deciding whether they want the app,
not by people maintaining it. Several were spending their last clause on
facts the reader cannot act on and would not recognise — and in Stoat's
case actively talking the app down: "Heavy (16 containers) and does not
federate" is a maintainer's note, not a description.

Eight rewritten, all the same fault:

  stoat        "Heavy (16 containers) and does not federate", and LiveKit
               named as though the reader would know what it is
  vikunja      "Runs as a single container on SQLite, with no database sidecar"
  stalwart     "in a single container"
  gitea        "written in Go", plus "self-hosted Git service" twice in one line
  vaultwarden  "an alternative implementation of the Bitwarden server API
               written in Rust" — says what it is to a developer, not what it
               does for you
  speedtest    "implemented in Javascript"
  adguard      "resolving blocked domains to a local blackhole address"
  matrix       "Installs Synapse plus the Element web client"

Deliberately kept, because they change whether the app suits you rather
than merely describing how it is built: Rocket.Chat's free-edition user
cap, Mattermost's unlimited users, Navidrome's Subsonic compatibility
(it tells you which phone apps will work), Stalwart's protocol list, and
Gluetun's provider count.

# APP_NAME = name of application for use in scripts
# REQUIRES = comma-separated install prerequisites (see scripts/checks/requirements/check_app_install.sh)
# COMPOSE_FILE = default for no app_name in docker-compose file name, app if there is
# BACKUP = if true, include this application in backup operations
# UPDATE_TYPE = auto: new image builds are applied automatically (a recovery snapshot is taken first), manual: only when you press Update
# HEALTHCHECK = if true, default docker health checks for that container will be enabled
# AUTHELIA = if true, use Authelia authentication, if false turned off.
# HEADSCALE = options : false, local, remote (see general config). e.g false or local,remote
# ENABLE_VIDEO = if true, allow camera and screen sharing (needs an HTTPS origin to work in a browser)
# MONITORING = if true, export this app's metrics to Prometheus + Grafana (needs both apps installed)
#
CFG_STOAT_APP_NAME=stoat
# MULTI_INSTANCE = if true, this app can run as multiple isolated instances
# (own data/DB/subdomain/backups) via `libreportal instance create`. Only set on
# apps whose compose identity (container_name, Traefik routers, backup labels)
# is instance-safe — see scripts/instance/instance_create.sh.
# Not instance-safe, for ONE remaining reason. The service names are now all
# stoat-prefixed, so compose identity is no longer the blocker. What is: LiveKit
# advertises its own tcp_port (7881) and UDP range (50000-50100) to clients from
# livekit.yml, so those cannot be randomised per instance without generating that
# file per instance and allocating a UDP range for each. Until then a second copy
# could not bind 7881.
CFG_STOAT_MULTI_INSTANCE=false
# No prerequisites. Stoat bakes its public URL into the client bundle, but that
# URL can just as well be http://<lan-ip>:<port> — text chat, channels, roles
# and uploads all work that way over a LAN or WireGuard tunnel. Only camera and
# microphone need an HTTPS origin, because browsers refuse getUserMedia outside
# a secure context; a VPN does not change that, since the check is on the URL
# scheme. Any HTTPS satisfies it, including a self-signed Traefik certificate.

# Auto. The components of this stack are released together and do expect
# matching versions — which is exactly why they are all pinned to the same tag
# (api, events, file-server, proxy, gifbox, crond, pushd, voice-ingress all on
# one STOAT_*_VERSION_TAG). An automatic update pulls rebuilds of those pinned
# tags, so the services move together or not at all; they cannot drift apart on
# their own. Moving the stack to a new release line is the stepped Upgrade and
# remains a deliberate act.

# Service credentials fed to the compose via #LIBREPORTAL|STOAT_<KEY>_TAG|.
# Generated on first install and preserved across reinstalls: RabbitMQ writes
# its user into ./data/rabbit on first boot and ignores the env afterwards, so a
# regenerated password would leave the broker unreachable. MinIO's root password
# is shared by the object store and the bucket-creation job, which have to agree.

# Owner account, registered by the installer as soon as the API answers.
#
# Stoat is first-come-first-served: whoever registers first on a fresh instance
# becomes the instance owner, and it ships with invite_only=false, no captcha and
# no email verification. Left to the printed "go and sign up" advice, the window
# between the app answering and you getting round to it is a window in which
# anyone who can reach the port owns your instance. Claiming it during install
# closes that window.
#
# ADMIN_USERNAME is Stoat's handle (letters, digits, _ and .), separate from the
# login email. Blank ADMIN_EMAIL skips provisioning and leaves the instance with
# no account at all.
#
# Both defaults are chosen because Stoat REJECTS the obvious ones, which is only
# visible as a failed install otherwise:
# - example.com is a reserved domain and comes back DisallowedContactSupport,
# so the email uses .local. Nothing is sent to it — this build runs with
# email verification off, so the address is only ever a login identifier.
# - "admin" is a reserved username and comes back InvalidUsername, hence
# "administrator".

# INVITE_ONLY = if true, nobody can sign up from the web UI; accounts are added
# with the Create User Account tool.
#
# Defaults CLOSED, unlike Vaultwarden's SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=true, because the reason
# that one is open does not apply here: Vaultwarden has to let you register to
# get in at all, whereas the owner account above is created for you. Matrix takes
# the same closed default for the same shape of app — an open chat server with no
# captcha and no email verification is a standing invitation once it is reachable.
# Closed is not a dead end: the Create User Account tool mints its own single-use
# invite, so it keeps working either way.
#
# Written into Revolt.toml at install, so changing it needs an Install/Reinstall
# to take effect — a Reload only restarts containers and leaves the generated
# config as it was.
