docs: drop documentation for installing without virtualenv

Installing globally as root require an unjustified trust in our build/install
process ... and makes it very hard to uninstall or clean up.

Installing as a user is slightly better but also more error-prone and not
recommended.

Those who really want to do it and know how to do it also don't need this
description.

.. _backup:

====================
Backing up Kallithea
====================


Settings
--------

Just copy your .ini file, it contains all Kallithea settings.


Whoosh index
------------

The Whoosh index is located in the ``data/index`` directory where you installed
Kallithea, i.e., the same place where the ini file is located


Database
--------

When using sqlite just copy kallithea.db.
Any other database engine requires a manual backup operation.

A database backup will contain all gathered statistics.
