power-compare-mcdowall

Deploy-only repo for a second, fully independent instance of power-compare, pointed at the McDowall plant instead of Kallangur.

It has no source of its own -- it just pulls the same built image (git.plexultra.com/dlawler489/power-compare:main) and runs it with its own .env, its own database, and its own port (44597). A code change to power-compare only needs pushing there; redeploying this stack picks up the new image automatically.

Setup for a fresh deploy:

1. Deploy this stack via the stack manager.
2. Create /app/data/power-compare-mcdowall-persistent/.env (as seen inside the stack manager's own container) with the real config -- see power-compare's .env.example for the shape. Use the same ISOLARCLOUD_APP_KEY / ISOLARCLOUD_APP_SECRET / ISOLARCLOUD_OAUTH_APP_ID as the Kallangur instance (same developer app registration, same account) -- leave ISOLARCLOUD_PLANT_ID blank and pick McDowall from the plant list in Settings after connecting, since one account can see both plants. Set POSTCODE to McDowall's.
3. Redeploy so the container picks up the .env.
4. Open Settings, connect the OAuth flow (this instance has its own database, so it needs its own one-time connect even though it's the same account), and pick the McDowall plant from the list.
