## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
Run custard on the droplet next to Soft Serve's data dir. Caddy fronts it for auto-TLS and proxies clone + tarball paths.
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->

## Acceptance Criteria
<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
- [ ] #1 Caddyfile: auto-TLS; reverse-proxy /git/<repo>.git/* -> Soft Serve HTTP :23232; serve /dl/*
- [ ] #2 systemd unit for custard with REPOS_PATH pointed at Soft Serve repos dir
- [ ] #3 Public read of all non-hidden repos verified live; git clone via /git/* works
