The church's own Gitea is where ProdDash lives

The shipped defaults pointed at GitHub, so a fresh install with no
configuration would have looked there — and that repository is going away.
They now name michael/ProdDash on chronicles-ab.waterschurch.org:3000, which
a fresh install was verified to reach with nothing configured at all.

The hostname rather than the IP, because the UniFi DNS record is
authoritative and this survives the NAS changing address. Both production
machines already carry an explicit setting of their own, so neither is
affected either way.
