The 31 containers/<app>/<app>.sh files each defined install<App>() with
the SAME 10-step sequence — ~4,000 lines of duplicated boilerplate.
Replaces all that with one generic driver + hook surface.
scripts/app/install/app_install.sh:
installApp <slug> [config_variables]
— Dispatches on $<slug> (c/u/s/r/i) the same way the per-app .sh
files did. Same convention; dockerInstallApp's existing
`declare $app=i` callsite needs no change.
— Runs the standard sequence: dockerConfigSetupToContainer →
dockerComposeSetupFile → optional .env copy → fixPermissions →
dockerComposeUpdateAndStartApp → standard post-install steps
(appUpdateSpecifics, setupHeadscale, databaseInstallApp,
webuiContainerSetup, monitoring registration) → final message.
— Hooks (all declare-f-gated, silent no-op when absent):
<slug>_install_pre / _post_setup / _post_compose / _post_start
<slug>_install_message_data (echoes extra args for menu)
<slug>_install_post
<slug>_uninstall_pre / _post
<slug>_stop_post
<slug>_restart_post
Hooks live in containers/<app>/tools/<app>_tools.sh (auto-sourced
per the modular-per-app-tools convention).
function_install_app.sh:
When no install<App>() function exists, fall through to
`installApp <app_name>` instead of erroring. So an app with no .sh
at all becomes a zero-byte addition — drop in <app>.config +
docker-compose.yml + <app>.svg, done.
containers/linkding/linkding.sh:
Deleted (canary). Linkding's body was 100% standard sequence;
fallback handles it identically. Smoke-tested with stubbed helpers
— dispatcher fires, generic runs full flow, monitoring integration
+ final-message hook plumbing all intact.
Wave B (next): delete the .sh for every other 'pure-boilerplate' app
(~15 candidates per the survey). Wave C: extract custom logic from
the 7 fat apps into hooks before deleting their .sh.

`libreportal app generate <name>` (and the menu's "g. Generate App" entry)
was broken three independent ways and incompatible with the per-app
architecture the project actually uses now:
1. Copies from $install_containers_dir/template/ which doesn't exist —
the only template/ in the tree was in scripts/unused/OLD_CONTAINERS/
and was never installed into the live tree. cp -r would just fail.
2. Every sed call used BSD/macOS syntax `sed -i '' -e …`. On Linux
(every distro this targets) the empty '' becomes a positional file
argument, so the substitutions never ran. 8 calls, all broken.
3. Even if it had run, the produced skeleton would have been a
pre-modular-tools / pre-per-port-subdomain app shape: no tools/,
no scripts/ subdir, HOST_NAME=test in the .config. Every active
containers/<app>/ today carries the modular layout the rest of the
framework expects.
Plus the recent cleanups (the prompt loop fix in 9ffc8e4, the per-port
subdomain refactor in 2e4f420) had been peeling pieces off it without
the root question — does the function still belong? — getting asked.
Delete the whole surface:
- scripts/app/app_generate.sh (157 lines, the function body)
- scripts/unused/OLD_CONTAINERS/template/ (the never-installed source
files appGenerate would have copied — stale enough to still carry
HOST_NAME=test, CFG_<X>_HOST_NAME, and 248 lines of compose template)
- menu entry "g. Generate App" + its dispatch in menu_main.sh
- "generate" case branch in cli_app_commands.sh
- `libreportal app generate` line in cli_app_header.sh
- The corresponding entries auto-drop from files_app.sh +
function_manifest.sh via regen.
New apps are added the way the catalog already grew — by hand-crafting
containers/<app>/{<app>.sh, <app>.config, docker-compose.yml,
tools/<app>.tools.json, scripts/<app>_*.sh}. Copying an existing app's
folder + renaming is the closest thing to a "generator" and it's a one-
command operation.
Net: -556 lines, no behaviour lost (the function never worked).

Each app now carries everything under containers/<app>/: Tools-tab actions in
tools/ (declaration <app>.tools.json + function <app>_<tool_id>.sh) and logic
helpers in scripts/ (e.g. <app>_auth.sh). The container scan live-sources every
.sh under the app (maxdepth 3, prunes only resources/) and webui_tools.sh
auto-merges the .tools.json, so an app is a true drop-in — no central edit, no
array regen.
- Empty the central webui_tools.sh heredoc; all 34 tools across 11 apps now
come from per-app declarations (verified byte-identical to the old output).
- Retire the orphaned mattermost tool scripts to scripts/unused (there is no
containers/mattermost; its install fn already lived in unused).
- Update the dispatch comment/error path, the auth-adapter doc, and
DEVELOPMENT.md to the new convention.
- Regenerate static arrays (files_app.sh no longer lists app/containers/*).

Establish the self-contained tools convention and prove it on a core app:
- discovery now reads containers/<app>/tools/<app>.tools.json (the tools/ subfolder);
tool functions live at containers/<app>/tools/*.sh, auto-sourced by the container
scan (depth 3) — no scripts/app/ entry, no array regen.
- adguard migrated: its 2 Tools-tab actions (reset_password, apply_dns_updater) moved
to containers/adguard/tools/ + tools/adguard.tools.json, and dropped from the
central webui_tools.sh heredoc. adguard_auth.sh stays in scripts/app/ — it's a logic
helper, NOT a tool (the key distinction: only DECLARED tools move).
Central + per-app styles coexist (pihole etc. still central), so the remaining apps
can migrate one at a time with nothing breaking. Verified: heredoc valid sans adguard,
per-app merge re-adds adguard's 2 tools, scripts array dropped the moved fns.

getlibreportal (downloads host) + weblibreportal (website) — including the website
Eleventy source and the publish tool functions — now live in the separate
LibrePortal-Infra repo (Webstar/LibrePortal-Infra). They're the project's own
outward-facing hosting, not something users install, so the base stays clean.
Removed from base: containers/{getlibreportal,weblibreportal}, the
scripts/app/containers/<app>/<app>_publish.sh tool functions, and their entries in
webui_tools.sh; regenerated the sourced-file arrays; dropped the dead .gitignore
docroot lines. scripts/release/make_release.sh stays here (it builds the base
release). docs/DEVELOPMENT.md now points publishing at LibrePortal-Infra.
LibrePortal-Infra overlays onto an install and picks up releases/catalogue from the
base tree — see its README.

Surface the publish step through the existing Tools system (apps-tools.json -> Tools
tab + 'libreportal app tool <app> publish'), so the docroot can be (re)built from
the WebUI instead of a manual cd + script.
- webui_tools.sh: declare a 'publish' tool (no inputs) for getlibreportal + weblibreportal.
- scripts/app/containers/getlibreportal/getlibreportal_publish.sh (appGetlibreportalPublish):
runs the host's publish.sh into the served data dir, as the container user (owns it).
- scripts/app/containers/weblibreportal/weblibreportal_publish.sh (appWeblibreportalPublish):
builds Eleventy as the manager (owns the install tree), then syncs the result into
the container-user-owned docroot — handling the build-vs-write owner split.
- Both guard for the build prerequisites (repo source / npm / dist) and fail with a
clear message; regenerated the sourced-file arrays.
Honest status: scaffolding only — wiring verified (dispatch names match, files sourced,
JSON valid) but the end-to-end tool RUN is untested, and it's build-box-only (needs the
repo checkout + npm + a built dist/). These hosting apps are dev-only and headed for a
separate repo; this just sets the automation up so it's ready to iterate on.
