0x1B40 71cd07173b docs: remove container-setup subfolder and flatten structure 
Move all files from docs/02-setup/container-setup/ directly into docs/02-setup/
to eliminate unnecessary subfolder. Files are already numbered sequentially,
so they work perfectly at the same level.

Changes:
- Move all files from container-setup/ subfolder to 02-setup/ root
- Remove container-setup/ subfolder
- Update all cross-references:
  - Update README.md paths (remove container-setup/ from all links)
  - Fix references in site-operations.md
  - Fix references in migration docs
  - Update internal references in 06-setup-examples.md
  - Fix relative path references in 01-overview.md, 02-build-setup.md, 03-start-setup.md

Result: Cleaner, flatter structure with all numbered setup files at the
same level, making navigation more straightforward.

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.

Basic site creation

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.

Create site with app installation

You can install apps during site creation:

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.

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.
