0x1B40 724d761eb6 docs: move container-setup to 02-setup and integrate setup-options content
Move container-setup directory from 08-reference/ to 02-setup/ to follow
PR feedback. The container-setup documentation provides a more linear
and coherent flow compared to the previous unstructured setup files.

Changes:
- Move container-setup/ from docs/08-reference/ to docs/02-setup/
- Integrate content from setup-options.md into structured flow:
  - Create new 06-setup-examples.md with practical deployment scenarios
  - Enhance 03-start-setup.md with site creation details from setup-options
  - Remove redundant 01-setup-options.md (content now integrated)
- Rename 02-single-server-example.md to 07-single-server-example.md
- Update all cross-references throughout documentation:
  - Update README.md with new structure under Setup section
  - Fix links in site-operations.md and migration docs
  - Add navigation links between container-setup files and examples
- Maintain container-setup's linear flow: overview → build → start → env → overrides
- Add practical examples document (06-setup-examples.md) that follows the container-setup guide

Result: Documentation now follows a clear progression from conceptual
overview through practical examples, with all setup information properly
organized under 02-setup/.

# start Container
Once your compose file is ready, start all containers with a single command:
```bash
docker compose -p frappe -f compose.custom.yaml up -d
```
```bash
podman-compose --in-pod=1 --project-name frappe -f compose.custom.yaml up -d
```
The `-p` (or `--project-name`) flag names the project `frappe`, allowing you to easily reference and manage all containers together.
# Create a site and install apps
Frappe is now running, but it's not yet configured. You need to create a site and install your apps.
## Basic site creation
```bash
docker compose -p frappe exec backend bench new-site <sitename> --mariadb-user-host-login-scope='172.%.%.%'
docker compose -p frappe exec backend bench --site <sitename> install-app erpnext
```
```bash
podman exec -ti erpnext_backend_1 /bin/bash
bench new-site <sitename> --mariadb-user-host-login-scope='172.%.%.%'
bench --site <sitename> install-app erpnext
```
Replace `<sitename>` with your desired site name.
## Create site with app installation
You can install apps during site creation:
```bash
docker compose -p frappe exec backend bench new-site <sitename> \
--mariadb-user-host-login-scope='%' \
--db-root-password <db-password> \
--admin-password <admin-password> \
--install-app erpnext
```
> **Note:** Wait for the `db` service to start and `configurator` to exit before trying to create a new site. Usually this takes up to 10 seconds.
For more site operations, refer to [site operations](../../04-operations/01-site-operations.md).
> ## Understanding the MariaDB User Scope
>
> The flag --mariadb-user-host-login-scope='172.%.%.%' allows database connections from any IP address within the 172.0.0.0/8 range. This includes all containers and virtual machines running on your machine.
>
> **Why is this necessary?** Docker and Podman assign dynamic IP addresses to containers. If you set a fixed IP address instead, database connections will fail when the container restarts and receives a new IP. The wildcard pattern ensures connections always work, regardless of IP changes.
>
> **Security note:** This scope is sufficient because only the backend container accesses the database. If you need external database access, adjust the scope accordingly, but be cautious with overly permissive settings.
