 Public slice of the knowledge base (`kb.okit.pl`) — static HTML generated from `kb/**/*.md` by `scripts/kb/gen_pages.py`, served by nginx on PIHA.
 
+## Sieć
+
+Stack nie tworzy własnej sieci — dołącza do istniejącego bridge'a `proxy` na PIHA
+(`external: true`). Powód: Docker na PIHA wyczerpał domyślne pule adresowe
+(`all predefined address pools have been fully subnetted`), więc kolejny
+`kb-site_default` nie może powstać.
+
+Warunek wstępny deployu — sieć musi już istnieć na hoście:
+
+```bash
+docker network ls | grep -w proxy   # brak wyniku => docker network create proxy
+```
+
+Ruch publiczny i tak nie idzie przez tę sieć: npm@PIHA (vhost `kb.okit.pl`) trafia
+do kontenera po opublikowanym porcie hosta `8250`.
