Proof of concept: Container management with FastAPI backend

- FastAPI backend with REST API endpoints
- SQLite database for container metadata
- Docker/Podman SDK integration with label filtering
- Frontend: Server creation form and management page
- Container operations: create, list, start, stop, delete
- Single container deployment (nginx + Python + supervisor)
- Support for Docker and Podman (rootless)
- Volume management for persistent data
