docs: make LAN access (GITLIB_BIND) easier to find for server installs - #34

Conversation
The default GITLIB_BIND=127.0.0.1 publishes the port on the host only, so a fresh server install is unreachable from other machines with "connection refused". Keep the safe default, but call out the setting in .env.example, add a troubleshooting list to the runbook's homelab install, and point the README go-live note at it.

.env.example: a note at the top for server installs, and theGITLIB_BINDcomment now says it is required to reach the app athttp://<server-ip>:4000.docs/runbook.md: the "if it does not load" line in the homelab install is now a short troubleshooting list (connection refused, timeout, wrong IP), including thesed+docker compose up -dfix.README.md: the go-live note says to setGITLIB_BIND=0.0.0.0on a server and links to the runbook.Why
GITLIB_BINDdefaults to127.0.0.1, so a fresh Ubuntu server install built from the quick start is "connection refused" from other machines on the LAN, even though the containers are healthy. The runbook covered it, but only for people who read the full homelab section.Notes for reviewers
127.0.0.1on purpose: the app has no login, so a0.0.0.0default would expose it on every interface of a laptop too.#3-homelab-installexists.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
