fix: deploy step stops containers before recreating to avoid ContainerConfig bug

docker-compose 1.29.x fails with KeyError: 'ContainerConfig' when trying
to recreate containers built from newer image manifests. Explicitly stopping
and removing before 'up -d' avoids the inspection of old container state.

+There are no default credentials. Register a normal account via the UI, then promote it to admin with one SQL command:
 
 ```bash
 docker exec -i cloudlink-postgres-1 psql -U cloudlink -d cloudlink \
   -c "UPDATE users SET is_admin = true WHERE email = 'you@example.com';"
 ```
 
-Subsequent admins can be toggled from the Admin portal in the UI.
+After that, the **Admin** link appears in the sidebar. From there you can promote or demote any other user without touching SQL again.
