refactor: simplify env configuration with single port definitions

- Update docker-compose.yml healthchecks to use env variables instead of hardcoded ports
- Restructure .env.example to define each port only once
- Auto-generate service URLs from port variables using ${PORT} syntax
- Document the configuration structure with clear sections
- Makes it easier to change ports without updating multiple variables
