The previous commit made `pnpm --filter web start` load the repository-root
.env, which was the wrong file: Strapi reads a bare PORT as well
(apps/cms/config/server.ts uses env.int('PORT', 1337)), so one value there
would have moved the CMS onto the website's port the moment anyone exported
it - and the root .env is docker compose's file, whose WEB_PORT is a
published host port, not a listen port.
The web app now loads apps/web/.env, the way Strapi already loads
apps/cms/.env. PORT and HOST are per-application because they mean something
different to each server. apps/web/.env.example documents them together with
SITE_URL, STRAPI_URL and STRAPI_TOKEN, and warns against the VITE_ prefix,
which would inline a value into the client bundle - STRAPI_TOKEN lives in
that file.
Still no default port: with PORT unset, react-router-serve keeps its own
behaviour of taking the first free port from 3000 upwards. A real
environment variable wins over the file, so a systemd unit or a container
that injects PORT is unaffected.
.dockerignore now excludes .env at every depth, not only at the root.
`COPY apps/web ./apps/web` would otherwise have baked a developer's
apps/web/.env - STRAPI_TOKEN included - into the image.
Verified against the existing build: PORT=8140 HOST=127.0.0.1 in
apps/web/.env listens on 127.0.0.1:8140, and PORT=8141 in the environment
overrides the file while HOST still comes from it.
