0x1B40 a2c0134c05 docs: reorganize documentation structure into logical categories
Restructure documentation into organized directories for better navigation:

- getting-started/: Quick start guides for new users
- setup/: Setup and configuration guides
- production/: Production deployment guides (backup, TLS, multi-tenancy)
- operations/: Site operations and management
- development/: Development workflow guides
- migration/: Migration guides
- troubleshooting/: Troubleshooting guides
- reference/: Reference documentation (container setup, build configs)

Rename files for consistency:
- Use kebab-case naming convention throughout
- Remove numbered prefixes from container-setup files
- Use descriptive names (backup-strategy, tls-ssl-setup, etc.)

Update all internal cross-references to reflect new file locations.
Update README.md with organized documentation structure.
Fix image paths in development.md to use correct relative paths.

start Container

Once your compose file is ready, start all containers with a single command:

docker compose -p frappe -f compose.custom.yaml up -d
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.

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
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.

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.
