Set up production environment variable and secrets management.

- Create a `.env.prod.example` template documenting all required variables
- Decide on secret handling approach (`.env` file on Unraid, Portainer environment variables, etc.)
- Ensure secrets are not committed to the repository (update `.gitignore` if needed)
- Document how to set up secrets on a fresh Unraid deployment
