Migrate Gitea from vlda-01 to alpha as a Docker container

Browse Source 
First item off SYNC-PLAN.md's build order. Full migration, not sync:
stopped vlda-01's Gitea container, copied its entire data volume
(SQLite DB, repos, LFS, SSH host keys - ~4GB) directly via a piped ssh
tar stream, brought it up on alpha as a permanent container on the
same web/cloud/portainer pattern (127.0.0.1-only, Apache reverse
proxy, certbot). Remapped file ownership from the source's uid 1000
(which collides with vmail on alpha) to a dedicated 1010:1010. Fixed
Gitea generating http:// clone URLs by adding X-Forwarded-Proto,
same fix cloud.jayfield.org already needed. Verified end-to-end: all
repos present via the API, a real git clone reproduces identical
history, and this repo's own origin now points at git.jayfield.org
with working push access. vlda-01's copy left stopped as a cold
backup, not decommissioned.

### 2. Gitea → full migration, not sync
Just repos + a small DB — no reason to keep this tied to vlda-01's uptime.
- Stop the Gitea container on vlda-01, copy its data volume (repos + DB +
config) to alpha.
- Bring it up on alpha as a permanent container, following the exact
pattern already used for `web`/`cloud.jayfield.org`: publish to
`127.0.0.1:<port>` → Apache vhost (`git.jayfield.org`) → `certbot --apache`.
- Decommission or keep vlda-01's copy as a cold backup, admin's choice.

1. Gitea (no open questions, most self-contained, validates the general
"migrate a dockerized service to alpha + Apache vhost" pattern).

trusting it with anything else).
