Clean up Dockerfile for rootless podman compatibility

Remove USER, VOLUME, and user creation — rootless podman runs as the
host user and bind-mounts /srv/mcns directly.

+MCNS uses `mcdsl` (git.wntrmute.dev/mc/mcdsl) for shared platform packages:
 auth, db, config, httpserver, grpcserver. These provide MCIAS authentication,
 SQLite database helpers, TOML config loading, and TLS-configured HTTP/gRPC
 server scaffolding.

    `[dns] listen_addr` in `mcns.toml` to a different address.
 4. Restart MCNS and verify DNS is responding.
 
+## Deployment with MCP
+
+MCNS runs on rift as a single container managed by MCP. The service
+definition lives at `~/.config/mcp/services/mcns.toml` on the operator's
+machine. A reference copy is maintained at `deploy/mcns-rift.toml` in
+this repository.
+
+The container image is pulled from MCR. The container mounts `/srv/mcns`
+and runs as `--user 0:0`. DNS listens on port 53 (UDP+TCP) on both
+192.168.88.181 and 100.95.252.120, with the management API on 8443/9443.
+
+Note: the operator's `~/.config/mcp/services/mcns.toml` may still
+reference the old CoreDNS image and needs updating to the new MCNS image.
+
+### Key Operations
+
+1. Deploy or update: `mcp deploy mcns`
+2. Restart: `mcp restart mcns`
+3. Stop: `mcp stop mcns` (WARNING: stops DNS for all internal zones)
+4. Check status: `mcp ps` or `mcp status mcns`
+5. View logs: `ssh rift 'doas su - mcp -s /bin/sh -c "podman logs mcns"'`
