0x1B40 f5f3b683d1 docs: add numeric prefixes to directories and files for navigation order
Add numeric prefixes (01-08) to documentation directories to indicate
reading order and flow for first-time users:

- 01-getting-started: Quick start guides
- 02-setup: Setup and configuration
- 03-production: Production deployment
- 04-operations: Site operations
- 05-development: Development guides
- 06-migration: Migration guides
- 07-troubleshooting: Troubleshooting
- 08-reference: Reference documentation

Add numeric prefixes to files within directories to guide readers
through documentation in a logical sequence.

Update all cross-references throughout documentation to use new
numbered paths. Update README.md to reflect the new structure.

# 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.
```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.
> ## 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.
