⚡️ Feature: (DOCS) Use compose.overrides.yaml, and don't store volumes in git repo.

[cvlc12]

Feature Description

Update docs and default compose.yaml files to:

• Use compose.overrides.yaml
• only bind folders outside the git repo

Problem It Solves

Currently the instructions are to clone the repo, cd to a service, edit compose.yaml and .env.

However this leads to problems when updating the repo (e.g. to use newly added services).

Furthermore it's complicated to use branches because of permission issues with container data stored directly in the repo directories.

Proposed Solution

• Update docs to suggest using compose.overrides.yaml instead of editing the main file
• Update compose.yaml files in order to store volumes outside the git repo (could be something like ${HOME}/scaletale-data/${SERVICE} or similar)

Could even use https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir/latest/ but that might be overkill

With this setup you can happily keep using git pull to pull updates and add additional services if needed.
