App reference

What each app actually needs to run in Docker behind a reverse proxy: the ports, the environment variables that matter, the volumes you cannot lose, and a dated release timeline with the breaking changes marked.

Every row links the upstream page it was read from, and every page says when it was checked. There is no prose here on purpose.
