Agent host: SilverBullet serves the vault as its one space, behind Authelia
CI / checks (push) Skipped
CI / checks (pull_request) Successful in 2m0s
CI / e2e (pull_request) Successful in 4m25s

The operator chose single-space mode: the vault is mounted at /data, with
memory/ read-only over it, and there are no accounts or setup wizard;
Authelia in the operator's Caddy is the login. SB_NAME forces the mode, so
an empty vault can't boot the wizard. SilverBullet's own data folder is
gone. check now fails if the wizard could be open. The README says how to
make memory/ writable for a while and back.

Then:
Then **the operator adds the Caddy site** from
`caddy/nisse-memory.dongar.net.caddy`, behind Authelia, and reloads Caddy.
There's no setup wizard: SilverBullet starts serving the vault at once.
1. **The operator adds the Caddy site** from `caddy/nisse-memory.dongar.net.caddy`
and reloads Caddy.
2. **The operator runs SilverBullet's setup wizard at once,** at
`https://nisse-memory.dongar.net`. Until it's done, whoever opens the page first
makes the administrator account.
- Account: the operator's, with a strong password.
- Space: folder `/vault`, address `nisse-memory.dongar.net`, path `/`.
**Making `memory/` writable for a while** (for example, to upload material that
will be sorted into the agents' folders): on the host, add
`/opt/stacks/silverbullet/compose.override.yaml` that replaces the volumes with
the vault alone (`volumes: !override [/srv/nisse/vault:/data]`), give `memory/`
to uid 1000, and `docker compose up -d`. `check` fails while it's in place.
To end it, delete the override and run `install` again, which gives `memory/`
back to root.
