Summary
This PR removes the local Docker quickstart from the self-hosting docs and makes server hosting the primary newcomer path.
The docs now frame self-hosting as running Compass on a server you control, with the server guide as the first place to start. Local use is still covered, but it is described as the normal Bun/manual setup rather than a separate local Docker self-host option.
What changed
docs/self-hosting/local-quickstart.md.Why
The previous docs made localhost Docker sound like the recommended path for new self-hosters. That created an extra supported mode alongside normal Bun-based local use and VPS hosting. This narrows the public self-hosting story: newcomers who want to self-host should start with the server guide, while people who want to run Compass locally can use the existing Bun flow.
