Claude bec9228c55 Back up existing files before every service overwrites them
Confirmed live: install_frigate()'s fresh-install path overwrote a
working, hand-crafted docker-compose.yml (Frigate + mosquitto +
frigate-notify) with zero backup, because that file's shape didn't match
what frigate.sh's own "existing install" detection knew how to recognize.
Every service's own detection is a judgment call about what counts as
"already installed" and can miss a real setup built outside this repo's
conventions.

lib/common.sh gains backup_if_exists(FILE) — copies FILE to
FILE.bak.<timestamp> if it exists, no-ops otherwise (including DRY_RUN).
Applied before every service's own `cat > docker-compose.yml`/`cat > .env`
write across all 60 services that do one (115 call sites), plus a matching
standalone-mode stub added to every service's own bootstrap block, same
convention already used for port_in_use/find_free_port. This doesn't
replace a service's own update/fresh-reinstall detection — it's the safety
net underneath it, so a wrong detection costs a .bak file to restore from
instead of the original silently disappearing.

Also fixes the actual gap that surfaced this: services/frigate.sh's
Authelia offer only checked for Authelia installed locally on Frigate's
own box, which is never true for a dedicated NVR box with no local Caddy
either (the common shape — Caddy lives elsewhere, snippet-generation mode
already handles that). Now offers Authelia protection unconditionally and,
when Authelia isn't local, asks whether it lives on the same machine as
Caddy (still "import authelia", since that's local to wherever Caddy ends
up) or on a genuinely separate third machine (the explicit
header-pinned forward_auth form, per CLAUDE.md's "forward_auth to a remote
Authelia" note, needed because a bare authelia:9091 shortcut only works
one hop).

# Deliberately standalone — not wired into wg-easy or any other VPN/DNS
# push here. Point a device's DNS settings at this box's IP manually to use

# Pi-hole
Network-wide DNS-based ad/tracker blocking. Standalone install — **not**
wired into wg-easy, Netbird, or any other VPN here. To actually use it,
point a device's DNS settings at this box's IP on port 53, either by hand
per-device or via your router's DHCP DNS setting.
## Access
- Admin UI: http://localhost:${WEB_PORT} (or via Caddy if configured above)
- Admin password: see \`.env\` → \`WEBPASSWORD\`
- DNS: this box's IP, port 53 (standard DNS port — not configurable per-instance)
## Using it
Nothing points at this automatically. Options, in order of how much you
want blocked by default:
- **Per-device**: change that device's DNS server setting to this box's IP.
- **Whole LAN**: change your router's DHCP-assigned DNS server to this box's IP
(every device on that network picks it up automatically going forward).
- **Over the VPN too**: this needs a manual edit on the wg-easy side — set
wg-easy's DNS setting to this box's IP so it's pushed to VPN peers. Not
done automatically by this installer, on purpose (you said standalone).
## Port 53 already in use?
The installer warns but doesn't block if something's already listening on
53 at install time. The common, harmless case on Ubuntu is systemd-resolved
bound only to \`127.0.0.53:53\` (loopback stub) — Pi-hole's container
publishes on the host's real interfaces, not that loopback address, so the
two normally coexist fine. If something else genuinely holds \`0.0.0.0:53\`,
free it first or Pi-hole's container won't start:
\`\`\`
ss -tulnp | grep ':53 '
\`\`\`
## Manage
\`\`\`bash
cd $DIR
docker compose up -d # start
docker compose down # stop
docker compose logs -f # logs
docker exec -it pihole pihole -g # force a blocklist update (gravity)
