What is this PR about?

This PR documents the new Files System tab that was added to Dokploy's Applications, Databases, and Docker Compose pages in Dokploy/dokploy#5194. That feature lets users browse, download, and upload files inside a running container directly from the dashboard, and is now available for applications, all database types (Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis), and Docker Compose services.

This PR adds a ## Files System (### Files System on the Docker Compose page, matching that page's heading level) section to the three relevant docs pages, in the same place and style as the existing General/Environment/Logs sections:

  • apps/docs/content/docs/core/applications/index.mdx
  • apps/docs/content/docs/core/databases/index.mdx
  • apps/docs/content/docs/core/docker-compose/index.mdx

Each section explains what the tab does, notes that files outside persistent volumes are ephemeral, and mentions that uploading requires the Write permission on the Container Filesystem resource (owners/admins have it by default; custom roles need it granted explicitly).
