Shell 1.5.0: updates can come from your own git server

The forge setting is a new capability, so the version moves — which is
also how a machine already running 1.4.0 is offered the update at all
(an archive install compares versions, having no commit of its own).

 | `port` | Port ProdDash serves on (default `24500`). The macOS launcher writes this one, so the port it is set to holds however ProdDash is started. |

 | `theme` | The dashboard palette: `booth` (default), `harbor`, `graphite`, `ember` or `daylight`. The admin page's **Theme** section writes this one — see [Themes](#themes). |
 
+**Updating from your own git server.** ProdDash fetches one `tar.gz` of the
+branch — nothing else — so any Gitea or Forgejo works. Point `forge` at its
+base URL and `repo` at the owner/repo there:
+
+```json
+{ "forge": "http://10.3.8.90:3000", "repo": "michael/ProdDash", "branch": "main" }
+```
+
+Gitea spells an archive URL differently from GitHub, which is the only thing
+that changes; the tarball itself is identical, commit hash included, so update
+detection and module installs behave exactly as before. Make the repository
+readable without signing in, or ProdDash cannot fetch it.

+`PRODDASH_FORGE`, and `PRODDASH_DATA_DIR` to put the data directory somewhere else (a relative path
 is taken from the app folder; `PRODDASH_DATA_DIR=config` restores the old
 in-repo location). If the default directory can't be created, the server says
 so and falls back to the app's `config/` folder.
