Changes:
- scripts/setup-homelab.sh: Remove interactive deployment prompt
- Users must now run deploy script manually
- Simplifies both scripts (no sudo workarounds needed)
- Clearer two-step process: setup then deploy
- Documentation updates:
- README.md: Updated step 3-4 with manual deployment

- docs/troubleshooting/COMMON-ISSUES.md: Added sudo to all deploy commands
Rationale:
- Automatic deployment via 'su -' cannot work with sudo requirement
- Manual two-step process is clearer and more reliable
- Setup focuses on configuration, deploy focuses on services

- getting-started.md: Service count updates, credential clarifications, moved Manual Setup to separate file
- manual-setup.md: Created comprehensive manual setup guide
- authelia-customization.md: Moved Authelia customization from services-overview
- services-overview.md: Added clickable links to service docs, removed disabled section and Quick Deployment
- quick-reference.md: Linked to scripts/README.md instead of duplicating content
- Removed services-reference.md as requested
- Fix password file ownership (user can now read without sudo)
- Add dashboards stack to automated deployment (Step 5/6)
- Add SSL certificate notes to deploy script output
- Clarify .env file location in documentation (stays in repo folder)
- Update README and getting-started.md with accurate deployment steps
- Add Watchtower notification URL documentation
- Improve user feedback with admin credentials and dashboard URLs
- Remove dashboards from 'Next Steps' since it's now automated

- Coverage: Core, Infrastructure, Dashboards, Media, Media-Extended, Home Assistant, Productivity, Utilities, Monitoring, Development stacks
- Educational focus with links to tutorials, videos, and guides
- Add Vaultwarden (Bitwarden) password manager to utilities.yml
- Self-hosted password manager with web UI

- Installs Docker Engine and Compose V2
- Configures user groups (sudo, docker)
- Enables SSH for remote management
- Detects NVIDIA GPU and provides manual driver installation instructions
- Creates directory structure and Docker networks
- Comprehensive instructions for post-setup deployment
- Remove redundant compose files (now in core.yml)
- Deleted authelia.yml, duckdns.yml, gluetun.yml, traefik.yml
- All services consolidated into unified core.yml stack
- Eliminates confusion and duplication
- Update disk space requirements across documentation
- Changed from "100GB+ system, 1TB+ media" to:
- "120GB+ system drive (NVMe or SSD highly recommended)"
- "2TB+ for media & additional disks for services like Nextcloud"
- Updated in README.md and getting-started.md
- Add preference for LinuxServer.io images

- Emphasize unified core.yml deployment
- Add both deployment methods (cd to directory vs full path)
- Update getting-started.md with correct deployment steps
- Note removal of separate stack files
