docs(deploy): the Storage Box needs external reachability
A Storage Box answers only inside Hetzner's network unless External
Reachability is on, for the box and for the sub-account. FTP and SFTP on
port 22 can't be turned off, so the sub-account turns off Samba and
WebDAV only. A host key of another type is checked against Hetzner's
list too.

feat(deploy): hourly off-site backups with restic
All checks were successful
CI / check (push) Successful in 9m0s
CI / deploy (push) Successful in 7s
learn.halkyon.eu dumps its database every hour (people's files are in it
too) and restic stores the dump encrypted in a Hetzner Storage Box,
keeping 24 hourly, 7 daily, 4 weekly and 3 monthly snapshots. The box's
own snapshots, removable only in Hetzner's Console, protect the backups
from a taken-over server. A systemd timer runs it as deploy; once a day
it also prunes and checks the repository. Failures go to the journal.

Hourly, because a restore costs people who started after the backup
what their device held: the app no longer finds its session and starts
anew. deploy/backups.md describes the setup, the restore and what a
restore loses; both were rehearsed on the local Compose stack.
