Ben 42612aa350 docs(docker): refresh user-guide page for s6-overlay reality
The page was last meaningfully rewritten in the pre-s6 (tini) era and had
drifted on five points that no longer matched the image:

1. "Running the dashboard" claimed the entrypoint backgrounds
   `hermes dashboard` and prefixes its output with `[dashboard]`. That
   was the pre-s6 entrypoint.sh path; under s6 the dashboard is a
   supervised s6-rc service (`docker/s6-rc.d/dashboard/run`) with no
   sed-prefix pipeline. Rewrote the section accordingly.

2. The default for `HERMES_DASHBOARD_HOST` was documented as
   `127.0.0.1`. The s6 run script defaults it to `0.0.0.0`
   (`dash_host="${HERMES_DASHBOARD_HOST:-0.0.0.0}"`). Fixed the table
   and the surrounding prose.

3. Multi-profile was documented as "not recommended in Docker — run
   one container per profile." That advice was load-bearing when
   there was no in-container supervisor, but the s6 architecture
   explicitly adds per-profile gateway supervision: each profile
   created via `hermes profile create <name>` gets a slot under
   `/run/service/gateway-<name>/`, the `02-reconcile-profiles`
   cont-init script restores them across `docker restart` from
   `gateway_state.json`, and `hermes gateway start/stop/restart` is
   intercepted by `_dispatch_via_service_manager_if_s6` to route
   through `s6-svc`. Pivoted the section to "one container, many
   supervised profile gateways" as the default, with a comparison
   table and a "When you DO want a separate container" escape
   hatch for the genuine resource-isolation / network-segmentation
   cases.

4. The Compose example trailer also claimed `[dashboard]` log
   prefixing. Replaced with the actual log routing.

5. Added a new "Where the logs go" section covering all four log
   surfaces: per-profile gateways (tee'd to `docker logs` AND
   `${HERMES_HOME}/logs/gateways/<profile>/current` since PR
   b34532319), dashboard (`docker logs`, no prefix), boot reconciler
   (`container-boot.log`), and `hermes logs`. The gateway-mode and
   Compose sections cross-reference this rather than each carrying
   their own routing prose.

Added a new "docker exec automatically drops to the hermes user"
subsection under "What the Dockerfile does", next to the existing
Privilege model warning. Documents the `/opt/hermes/bin/hermes` shim
(landed via the docker-exec privilege-drop work) — operators don't
need to remember `--user hermes` for `docker exec hermes login`,
`docker exec hermes profile create …`, etc. The historical footgun
(`auth.json` written as `root:root`, supervised gateway then can't
read its own auth file) is mentioned only as context for what the
fail-loud `exit 126` is protecting against, not as a problem the
reader needs to solve. The `HERMES_DOCKER_EXEC_AS_ROOT=1` opt-out is
documented for diagnostic sessions.

The "Permission denied" troubleshooting subsection now carries a
single-line pointer to the new section instead of duplicating it.

The `--insecure` framing reflects PR #fb5125362 (opt-in via
`HERMES_DASHBOARD_INSECURE`, not derived from bind host): the OAuth
gate is the authority, the bind host alone never implies
`--insecure`, and opting out is an explicit security trade-off.

Anchors verified resolve. i18n zh-Hans mirror left for the
translation flow to catch up.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
