The port editor used to serialise ten of the twelve columns, so saving
any port on an app silently discarded that app's Traefik subdomain and
the router fell back to the app-name default. Navidrome lost "music" and
Speedtest lost "speedtest" exactly that way, and nothing reported it —
the app kept working, on the wrong hostname.
The writer is fixed, but an install already carrying the damage would
keep it forever: reconcile preserves the user's value, and a truncated
row IS the user's value as far as it can tell. It now tops such a row up
from the template, appending ONLY the columns the live row does not
reach. Everything the live row states wins — including a deliberately
blanked column — so clearing a subdomain is not undone, and a live row
longer than its template is left alone.
Two faults of my own, caught while testing it end to end:
The notice was printed on stdout. This function returns its result
through a command substitution, so the notice text was captured INTO the
config value and written to navidrome's descriptor. It goes to stderr.
The width in the message was measured after the merge, so it reported
the post-merge count as the "before". Captured up front instead.
Verified against a live install: truncating navidrome's row to 9 columns
and running `config check` restores it to 11 with "music" intact, a
second run changes nothing, and no port on the box is left Traefik-
managed without a subdomain. Unit-checked that it declines to act on a
complete row, a non-port key, a row longer than its template, and never
overwrites a live value; quoting style is preserved either way.

The compose rewrite assumed each app had exactly <type>-service and <type>_db.
That holds for Bookstack and almost nothing else: cloning Nextcloud left -db,
-redis and -web pointing at the ORIGINAL app's containers, and Matrix, Ollama,
Mastodon, Owncloud, Gitea, Jitsi, Invidious, Rocketchat and Mattermost all had
the same hole. Docker refuses a duplicate container name and two Traefik
routers sharing a name fight over the host, so those clones could not have
worked.
Service identities are now discovered from the compose itself — its
SERVICE_TAG_<n> markers plus its container_name values — and each is renamed.
Verified across all 38 shipped apps: 15 are fixed, 21 produce byte-identical
output to the old rule (Bookstack among them, so the running instances are
unaffected), and 2 are refused.
Details worth knowing:
- Separators compare as equivalent, so the app dir libreportal_catalog matches
its libreportal-catalog-* services instead of being wrongly refused.
- Tokens are substituted longest-first through placeholders. \b has to end a
token because per-port routers are named <service>-<portname>
(traefik.http.routers.adguard-service-webui), which also means a short name
could otherwise match inside a longer one — ordering is what prevents that.
- Commented-out lines are not harvested. Several templates park an optional
sidecar behind # (adguard-exporter, pihole-exporter, wireguard-exporter);
renaming those also mangled the image name in the same block, leaving a trap
for anyone uncommenting it. Commented image: lines are skipped too.
- image: lines are genuinely excluded now. The old comment claimed service
tokens "never appear in an image path", but libreportal builds a local image
named after its own service and the old rule rewrote that reference.
An app with a service carrying no <type> prefix (stoat's api/database/minio,
prometheus's node-exporter/cadvisor) cannot be made unique mechanically, and
rewriting a bare word like minio would corrupt image: minio/minio. Those are
refused with an explanation and the partial clone is removed, rather than
handed back as an instance that silently fights the base app.

An instance's isolation never needed a domain — its own slug, dir, secrets,
IP and randomly-allocated host port already make two copies independent. But
the routing layer assumed one, so a LAN-only box got a broken instance rather
than a port-served one. Four fixes:
- instanceCreate now rewrites the parent-service column of the cloned config's
PORT_ rows to match the service names it stamps into the compose. That value
is stored as network_resources.parent_service and joined against the
compose-derived service names, so an instance left carrying the TYPE's
service name matched nothing: it rendered in the WebUI with no port, no URL
and no login row despite being up and reachable.
- `instance create --local` (plus a LAN-only toggle in the modal) forces every
port to access=private, traefik=false, for a second copy that should stay
off the domain even when one is configured.
- initializeAppVariables forces the traefik column false when no CFG_DOMAIN_n
is set. Previously a traefik=true port with an empty domain stamped
Host(`app.`) — a trailing-dot host matching nothing — and dragged APP_URL to
https://app. with it, breaking every app that builds its links from APP_URL.
host_setup is blanked for the same reason. The published host port is
untouched; access type, not the traefik flag, gates allocation.
- APP_URL's direct host-port branch now prefers a new $local_ip_v4 (the source
IP for the default route) over $public_ip_v4, which is the WAN address from
an external resolver. LibrePortal never forwards ports, so the WAN address
was unreachable for exactly the LAN/VPN clients that branch serves.

An app's deployed config is written once, on first install, and never
touched again — dockerConfigSetupToContainer copies only when the file is
absent, precisely so an update can never overwrite values someone has
edited. Right default, unchosen consequence: an app that gains a CFG_
option in a new release has it on every fresh install and on no existing
one.
The failure is silent, which is the worst part. Nothing errors. The key
reads as empty and whatever depends on it quietly does something else.
Two halves, because there were two gaps. Per-app, when a config is set up,
options present in the template and missing from the deployed file are
appended with their comment blocks — the comment is the only explanation
of a new option that exists, and a bare key at the end of a documented file
is not actionable. And a sweep across every installed app after an update,
because an update redeploys LibrePortal itself and nothing else, so without
it a new option would reach an app only when someone next reinstalled it —
which, for an app that is working, may be never.
Existing values are never touched, and keys the deployed file has but the
template no longer does are left alone: a removed option is usually a
rename, and deleting someone's value is not recoverable. Deliberately not a
regenerate-from-template, which would place new keys in their proper
section and refresh the docs, but would put a whole-file rewrite of every
app config in the path of every app action — appending cannot lose a line.
Backfilled RANDOMIZED* defaults are generated in both paths. A placeholder
left in place would otherwise be a credential identical on every install
that took the upgrade.
The sweep is driven from the template directory, not the container one:
under rootless the container tree is drwxr-x--x and owned by the docker
user, so the manager can traverse it but not list it, and a glob there
expands to nothing — the sweep would report success having examined no apps.
Run against this install it found real drift beyond the test fixtures:
mattermost was missing CFG_MATTERMOST_ADMIN_PASSWORD, whose own comment
notes that without it the password-reset tool has nothing to write to, and
speedtest was missing its password key entirely.

crowdsec_install_host.sh wrote CFG_CROWDSEC_TRAEFIK_LAPI_KEY into
${configs_dir}security/security_crowdsec, but no such template ships in
configs/security/ (only security_logins and security_ssh), so
checkConfigFilesMissingFiles never created it, the -f guard always failed, and
the key was never mirrored — every install logged "Live config not present yet"
and the setting stayed empty. The key is declared in crowdsec.config, so point
the write there.
Switched the hand-rolled sed for updateConfigOption, which escapes the value,
routes the write through the user owning the containers tree, and re-sources so
the key is live in the same run. The old sed used | as its delimiter and would
have corrupted the file on a key containing one; verified the new path
round-trips a key with + / and | intact.
updateConfigOption logged "Updated <key> to <value>", and checkSuccess both
prints its message and appends it to the docker log — so mirroring the bouncer
key would have written it to disk in plaintext, as every admin password the auth
adapters persist already was. Credential-looking keys now log the name only;
everything else still logs its value, which is what makes that log useful.

Installing rocketchat failed with
invalid IPv4 address: ParseAddr("IP_DATA_2"): unable to parse IP
ipUpdateComposeTags allocates one IP per SERVICE_TAG_N annotation and fills
IP_TAG_i only where SERVICE_TAG_i exists. The four new apps tagged only their
primary service, so every sidecar — matrix's postgres, mattermost's postgres,
rocketchat's mongo, and fifteen of stoat's sixteen — kept a literal IP_DATA_n
in the deployed compose and docker refused to create the container.
Tag every service that carries an ipv4_address, index-aligned with its IP_TAG.
For stoat that also meant moving caddy from SERVICE_TAG_1 to _6 so the indices
line up with the IPs rather than the reading order.
mastodon had the same latent break (IP_TAG_2 and _3 untagged) and is fixed the
same way — it would have failed on first install for the same reason.
SERVICE_TAG carries the compose *key*, not container_name: 'libreportal app
restart <app> <service>' passes it to 'docker compose restart', which only
understands keys.

Slots only need to be independent of each other, which the \b anchoring in the
RANDOMIZED* replacers already guarantees. Constraining the character mix was
solving a different problem than the one asked for.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Five apps (mastodon, owncloud, mattermost, matrix, stoat) took their generated
secrets from the compose-side generator tags PASSWORD_TAG_<n>/RANDOM_TAG_<n>/
HEX_TAG_<n>/VAPID_TAG_<n>. Those mint a fresh secret on every templating run, so
a reinstall handed the app a new database password while its data volume kept the
one initdb was given, and the app came back up unable to open its own database.
Move them to <app>.config as RANDOMIZED* placeholders, reaching the compose via
the #LIBREPORTAL|<APP>_<KEY>_TAG| mechanism tags_processor_app_config_values
already provides. No new handler: the tag name is derived from the config key, so
this is a config line plus a tag per secret. Generation is unchanged — still
random on first install; the value is now remembered instead of re-rolled.
Also fixes two things this exposed:
- The RANDOMIZED* replacers matched unanchored. `sort -u` orders slots lexically
(1, 10, 11, 2), so slot 1's pattern rewrote the prefix inside slot 10's
placeholder and slots 10+ ended up holding slot 1's secret with a digit glued
on — derivable, and invisible because the values weren't byte-identical.
Anchoring with \b makes match order irrelevant. Verified at 20 slots across
all four placeholder types: 64 keys, 64 distinct values, no prefix collisions.
- generateRandomPassword drew from base64 without constraining the mix; measured
over 2000 draws, 1 in 40 contained no digit at all. Retry until the result has
both a digit and a letter, bounded so a pathological length can't spin.
owncloud gains a fix in passing: its compose seeded the admin account from
PASSWORD_TAG_2 while the WebUI displayed CFG_OWNCLOUD_ADMIN_PASSWORD, which was
generated separately and never used. Both now read the same value.

The portal was found crash-looping with EACCES on /app/webui_logins.
configs/webui/* are bind-mounted into the container, which reads them
through its GROUP (files 0640, group = container owner). Two paths reset
that group to the manager and never gave it back:
* init.sh setupConfigsFromRepo — `chown -R manager:manager` over the
whole configs tree on every install/redeploy (the documented local-
mode deploy), and
* the runtime config reconcile — rewriting a live config replaces the
file as the manager, so ANY release that merely adds a key to a
webui_* config would break the portal.
Neither breaks anything immediately: the running container holds its
open files, so the failure only appears at the next restart, long after
the change that caused it. That is exactly how it surfaced here — a
deploy in the evening, a dead WebUI later.
init.sh gains restoreWebuiBindAccess (prefers the root ownership helper,
inline chown fallback for the first install, no-op when the container
user does not exist yet) called right after the chown; the reconcile
calls the existing reconcileWebuiDirOwnership when it is in scope.
Verified by reproducing the break (chown -R manager over configs), then
running the fixed deploy and force-recreating the container: group is
restored to the container owner and the portal serves on 3179.

Docker materialises a missing bind-mount source as an empty directory when a
container starts. The WebUI compose mounts ./libreportal.config as a file, so a
container start before the config landed left a directory at that path — and it
was self-perpetuating:
- copyFolder's tar extract aborted the whole source copy with
"libreportal/libreportal.config: Cannot open: File exists" (exit 2)
- dockerConfigSetupToContainer guards on [ ! -f ], which a directory fails, so
copyFile dropped the real config INSIDE the stub
- the closing -e / -r sanity checks both pass on a directory
The installer then reported success while libreportal-service crash-looped on
EISDIR reading /app/libreportal.config, leaving the WebUI unreachable.
Add repairStubDirForFile: promote a same-named file out of the stub, drop the
directory, and report if the path still isn't a regular file. Call it before the
WebUI source copy and before the per-app config copy (covers every app, not just
the WebUI), and tighten the closing existence check from -e to -f so a stub can
never pass validation again.

Per the intended model: catalog sources should live in the config place (like
domains), and registry_catalog.json should be a purely GENERATED artifact
derived from them — not the source of truth. Replaces the earlier
$docker_dir/catalog/sources.json store.
- New configs/general/general_catalogs — CFG_CATALOG_1..9, one catalog base URL
per slot ("url" or "url|channel"), domains-style. Official stays pinned as
source #1 (derived from CFG_RELEASE_BASE_URL, not listed here). Slot N → source
idx N+1 (stable id for the Add picker / `app add --source`).
- catalog_sources.sh now reads/writes those CFG vars (via updateConfigOption)
instead of a JSON file; dropped catalogSourcesFile + the enable/disable toggle
(presence = enabled; remove = clear the slot).
- configUpdateBatch regenerates registry_catalog.json when a CFG_CATALOG_* key
changed — so pressing Save in the WebUI rebuilds the browse data.
- webuiRegistryCatalogScan is unchanged (still iterates catalogEnabledSources).
Verified: CFG_CATALOG_1/2 → sources at idx 2/3, empty slots skipped, url|channel
parsed, official pinned at idx 1.

CFG_NETWORK_MTU=1500 was baked blindly into the rootless daemon uplink
(DOCKERD_ROOTLESS_ROOTLESSKIT_MTU) and every app's container network. On links
whose real path MTU is below 1500 (Qubes/NAT/VPN with PMTU discovery blocked),
image manifests + tiny images pull fine but large image LAYERS stall and reset
mid-blob with "httpReadSeeker: ... EOF" — apps silently fail to install. Probed
here: path MTU ~1328, Docker at 1500 → black hole.
- New scripts/network/network_mtu.sh: networkDetectMtu (don't-fragment ICMP
ladder → largest standard MTU that gets through, 1500 when ICMP gives no
signal) + networkEffectiveMtu (CFG_NETWORK_MTU: a number is verbatim, "auto"
probes once and caches $docker_dir/.network_mtu) + networkRedetectMtu.
- CFG_NETWORK_MTU default 1500 -> auto. Rootless setup now writes the resolved
MTU into the override (and re-detects per install); the per-app NETWORK_MTU_TAG
uses the resolved value too. Explicit numbers still win.
Verified on this box: auto -> 1300; alpine (multi-MB) + the full ~100MB navidrome
image now pull to completion where they previously EOF'd. Applied live (override
1300, config=auto, cache=1300, rootless docker restarted).

Reconcile backups now land as .<file>.bak instead of <file>.bak, so they

Move the WebUI-updater settings out of general_terminal into their own
advanced webui-category file (webui_logs precedent): new
configs/webui/webui_updater holds CFG_UPDATER_SCAN_INTERVAL and the
migrated CFG_HOTFIX_AUTO, listed in webui/.category.
The move only reaches existing installs if the config convergence
machinery works, and three pieces of it silently didn't:
- checkConfigFilesMissingFiles walked a stale hardcoded category list
('general features network' — features doesn't exist; webui/backup/
security never healed). Derive the categories from the template tree
instead, and heal .category metadata too: copy it when absent and
merge missing SUBCATEGORY_ORDER entries when present, so healed files
actually appear in the WebUI Config editor. core_categories removed.
- Option reconciliation never touched ANY nested config file: configs_dir
carries a trailing slash, so rel stripping missed ('configs//'), the
template lookup failed, and reconcileConfigFile early-returned for
every file. Strip the slash before matching.
- reconcileConfigFile's AUTO_DELETE=false branch read a never-populated
live_line array, losing the dropped keys it promised to keep. Populate
it alongside live_value.
Also exclude *.bak from config sourcing (reconciliation writes <file>.bak
next to live configs — now that it runs, sourcing backups would resurrect
deleted keys), and add 'libreportal config check' as a non-interactive
front door to the converge pass (was only reachable via install flows and
the interactive menu).

Two more cases of the manager writing directly into the container-owned
/libreportal-containers tree (same class as the regen-poll stamp), both masked
by a '✓ Success' that printed anyway:
- Password replacers (config/password/*): used 'runInstallOp sed -i' (manager)
on app configs copied into the container tree, so sed -i EACCES'd its temp
file and the substitution silently failed — the adguard.config 'couldn't open
temporary file', leaving the literal RANDOMIZEDPASSWORD placeholder. Added
runCfgOp (picks runFileOp vs runInstallOp by the target file's location) and
routed every $file grep/sed/awk through it: password, username, hex, vapid,
appkey, and bcrypt.
- Updater generator (webui_updater_scan): 'runFileOp cp <manager-tmp>' can't
read the manager's 0600 mktemp as the container user, so it fell through to a
manager 'cp' that EACCES'd on the container-owned out_dir. Switched the three
writes to 'runFileWrite < tmp' (manager shell reads the tmp; container user
tees the write).
Both deploy via the normal quick path (relocatable scripts) — no footprint bump,
no reinstall.

sed: couldn't open temporary file /libreportal-containers/adguard/sedZaGX2H:

Root cause: updateConfigOption ran a raw `sed -i` regardless of which tree
the config file sits in. Works fine for /libreportal-system/configs/*
(manager-owned) but breaks on /libreportal-containers/<app>/<app>.config
(dockerinstall-owned in rootless mode) — sed -i writes its temp file next
to the target, inheriting the directory's perms, and the manager can't
write inside dockerinstall dirs. EVERY app installer that mutates a
CFG_<APP>_* value (the autogenerated random password, BACKUP toggle,
PORT override, etc.) goes through this function, so this was a latent
ticking bomb across all containers.
Fix: pick the helper based on path —
- under $containers_dir → runFileOp (escalates to
dockerinstall in rootless, runs as manager in rooted)
- otherwise → runInstallOp (always manager)
Read paths (grep / source) stay unwrapped — both dirs are world-readable;
only the write needs the privilege swap.
Net: no more 'Permission denied' on app installs; the de-sudo pattern is
now respected end-to-end for CFG writes.

Existing installs were locked out of template-side description /
options / marker changes because reconciliation kept the user's whole
`CFG_KEY=value # comment` line verbatim. So new metadata like the
**DEV** marker I'm adding for the developer-mode feature wouldn't take
effect on already-deployed boxes — only fresh installs.
Updated reconcileConfigFile to split each line into value-part and
comment-part. User value is still sacred; the comment (title,
description, [options], **ADVANCED**/**DEV** markers) now comes from
the template. Field renames, label tweaks, marker additions/removals
shipped in a release reach existing installs on the next CLI
invocation (which runs the reconciler).
Specifically unblocks: the developer-mode WebUI feature (CFG_DEV_MODE
field gets added by the existing add-only path; CFG_INSTALL_MODE and
CFG_RELEASE_CHANNEL now pick up their new **DEV** markers and the
'Release - Stable' / 'Bleeding Edge' labels).

command/ssl/swapfile/ufw/ufwd/user — all from older refactors that left them
behind). Each expanded to nothing at runtime (harmless), but they're dead
misleading refs. Cleaned both files; every remaining array ref now points to a
real files_*.sh.

docker_config_setup_data.sh's "App Specific" if/elif ladder (pihole, nextcloud,
searxng, speedtest, vaultwarden, wireguard, gluetun) becomes a generic hook
dispatch: an app needing computed (non-CFG) compose tags ships
containers/<app>/scripts/<app>_compose_tags.sh defining appSetupComposeTags_<app>
(live-sourced by the container scan, called with the compose path; reads
host_setup/public_ip_v4/CFG_* from scope). Same declare -F pattern as the tool /
update-specifics / webui-refresh hooks.
- 7 per-app hook files added; central ladder replaced by the dispatch.
- The generic gluetun network-mode block stays (any app may route through gluetun);
tagsProcessorGluetunForwardedPorts stays central (hook + network-mode both use it).
- Regenerate arrays (hooks live under containers/, not arrayed).
Verified with stubs: each hook emits exactly the tags the old branch did
(pihole REV_SERVER, nextcloud trusted-domains, gluetun VPN set + forwarded ports,
etc.); apps without a hook are a clean no-op.

Split the single tree into three owner-isolated roots and fix the backup
permission failure (restic, running as the container user, could not write the
manager-owned /docker/backups).
Ownership helper (libreportal-ownership), rewritten for three baked roots:
SYSTEM_DIR (manager) CONTAINERS_DIR + BACKUPS_DIR (container user)
- reconcile now drives each tree to its single owner; backups + the WebUI dir go
to the container user (the actual fix). The container user reaches only the
WebUI bind-mount sources (configs/webui/*) via a scoped _webui_bind_access —
traverse the system root + configs, read configs/webui only, nothing else.
- defence-in-depth: refuse dangerous/relative roots even if mis-baked; new
backups-top action.
Baking: init.sh initRootHelpers now seds __SYSTEM_DIR__/__CONTAINERS_DIR__/
__BACKUPS_DIR__ (alongside __MANAGER__) into every helper at install — the trust
boundary stays root-controlled. svc/socket/appcfg helpers updated to derive from
the baked SYSTEM_DIR; the svc unit now exports LP_*_DIR so the processor resolves
roots authoritatively. A baking-safe '*"__"*' sentinel check survives the sed.
Install/uninstall: initFolders creates the three roots; initContainerLayer hands
containers + backups to the container user; uninstall removes all three
(idempotent on legacy single-tree installs). Remaining functional /docker
literals in init.sh (config reads, setupConfigsFromRepo, uninstall) parameterised.
Compose: the WebUI's two relative ../../configs mounts (the only cross-tree
relative mounts in the tree) are now absolute, filled at generation via a new
CONFIGS_DIR_TAG; CONTAINERS_DIR_TAG likewise for the LP_CONTAINERS_DIR env.
Live box unaffected: installed helpers + the live compose only change on reinstall/
rebuild (both of which fill the tags); the CLI-wrapper heredoc paths are baked in
phase 3.

Introduce scripts/source/paths.sh as the canonical path resolver for three
independently-relocatable roots:
LP_SYSTEM_DIR manager-owned control plane (configs/logs/install/db/ssl/ssh/migrate)
LP_CONTAINERS_DIR container-user-owned live app data
LP_BACKUPS_DIR container-user-owned backup repos (own mount-able)
Roots come from the environment when set (install bakes them; CLI/app inherit
from init.sh), else default to /libreportal-*. A transitional compat default
keeps EXISTING installs (legacy single /docker tree, by config marker) on /docker
until a deliberate reinstall, so deploying this never strands a running box.
- init.sh derives the same vars inline (self-contained for the bare /root/init.sh
reinstall case); paths.sh mirrors it for the standalone task/check processors,
which now self-locate their scripts dir and source it.
- Replace functional /docker literals with the derived vars across runtime,
install, backup, crontab, crowdsec/restic, headscale, and reinstall paths;
clean the inert '== /docker/containers/*' guard fallbacks to the variable form.
- backend: CONTAINERS_DIR now from LP_CONTAINERS_DIR (compose env, filled at
generation via a new CONTAINERS_DIR_TAG), legacy-safe default for un-recreated
containers.
- backup default path falls back to the backups root; exclude paths.sh from the
sourced-file arrays (bootstrap file, sourced explicitly).
The CLI-wrapper heredoc + root helpers still reference /docker; those get baked
in phase 3. No layout/ownership change yet (phase 2).

Reverts the 2>/dev/null band-aids and fixes the root cause. The
manager-run install boot scans app configs under /docker/containers AS
the container user (runFileOp). But init.sh's initFolders creates that
dir manager-owned, and the handover to the container user happened later
(start_preinstall), AFTER the boot scans — so the scans ran as the
container user against a dir it didn't own yet: "find:
'/docker/containers/': Permission denied" (cosmetic; the dir is empty
that early, but it's the wrong ownership at the wrong time).
Add initContainerLayer() to init.sh's root phase (after initGIT +
initUpdateConfigs, before the manager-run handoff): rootless-only, it
creates the docker-install user if missing and chowns /docker/containers
to it (751). The later rootless setup is now idempotent — it finds the
user existing and just (re)asserts its password + daemon config (moved
updateDockerInstallPassword out of the create-only branch). Rooted is
unaffected (containers stay manager-owned, which the manager reads).
Result: by the time the boot scans run, /docker/containers is owned by
the user doing the scanning — no permission error, nothing suppressed.

Early in an install the docker-type config isn't loaded yet, so runFileOp
falls back to the manager, which can't list the container-owned (751)
/docker/containers/ dir. Two best-effort scans then leaked
"find: '/docker/containers/': Permission denied" to the install output
(x3 per run): scan_files.sh's app_configs scan and the application config
reconcile. No app configs exist that early on a fresh install, so the
empty result is correct — just suppress the find stderr (the -print0
output still flows). Cosmetic only; doesn't change what's enumerated once
the config is loaded.

tagsManagerUpdateUniversalTag did a bare 'sed -i "$file_path"' — works only
because start.sh runs as root today; under Model-A-as-manager the manager
can't create sed's temp file in the dockerinstall-owned containers dir
(permission denied). Make the in-place edit run AS the file's owner: classify
by path (containers/<app> -> runFileOp, manager configs/templates ->
runInstallOp), like createTouch. The awk read stays unescalated (config/compose
are world-readable). Unblocks running the whole app as the manager for tag ops.

- copy_build_context: rsync/cp/rm -> runFileOp (writes the deployed tree AS the
container owner with --no-owner); drop the now-redundant runSystem chown.

runFileOp touch/chmod/rm (drop the chown).

scanConfigsForRandomPassword iterates $configs_dir (manager-owned), so the

log ($containers_dir/bcrypt.txt) is docker-install-owned, so its touch/chmod/

htpasswd -bnBC just computes a bcrypt hash to stdout (no file/root access), so
the sudo was unnecessary — drop it in the adguard/focalboard/invidious auth
helpers and password_hash. (App-config file edits owned by container UIDs —
owncloud config.php/adguard yaml — are deferred as category-3 cross-owner work
for the root-owned ownership helper.)

Container-plane docker now routes through the mode-aware helpers instead of
sudo: simple calls (exec/ps/run/build/images/inspect/port/logs across ~15
app/check scripts) -> runFileOp docker (rootless socket as the install user;
rooted via the docker group). The cd && docker compose paths drop the sudo on
the rooted branch (the rootless branch already used dockerCommandRunInstallUser
-- byte-identical now, manager-ready later); gluetun, which had no rootless
branch, now uses dockerCommandRun so force-recreate works in both modes.

The apps SQLite DB ($docker_dir/$db_file) is owned by the manager user, so
read/write it AS the manager via runInstallOp instead of sudo (root). 48 call
sites across 28 scripts. In rooted this drops root->manager (correct owner);
in rootless it's the manager too (using runFileOp/dockerinstall here was the
'unable to open database' bug). The broken 'command -v sudo sqlite3' check
lines are left untouched (separate pre-existing issue).

Reinstall test on Debian 12 surfaced three rootless-only breakages (rooted
was byte-identical/fine):
1. pasta blocked by Debian's passt AppArmor profile (DENIED ptrace read ->
can't open container netns -> rootless dockerd never starts). Default
CFG_ROOTLESS_NET back to slirp4netns (reliable); pasta stays selectable
for hosts that relax the profile.
2. de-sudo mis-assigned helpers by owner. /docker management layer (apps DB
chowned to libreportal by install_sqlite, /docker/logs) is MANAGER-owned,
not dockerinstall. Add runInstallWrite; move apps-DB sqlite3 -> runInstallOp
and /docker/logs appends -> runInstallWrite. Revert ownership-SETUP scripts
(libreportal_folders, app_folder) to runSystem — they must run as root to
establish ownership during install. Container files (/docker/containers/<app>)
stay runFileOp.
3. kernel hardening sysctls written to /etc/sysctl/99-custom.conf, which
'sysctl --system' does not read -> never applied. Write them to
/etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-hardening.conf instead.

FIX: dockerCommandRun rooted path is 'sudo $command' (unquoted word-split),
so 'docker ps --format "{{.Names}}"' was passing the format with LITERAL
quotes -> docker emitted '<name>' and the downstream grep never matched
(broken in rooted too). Switch all docker invocations to runFileOp, which
preserves args via "$@" in both modes (and runs as dockerinstall against
the rootless socket). Fixed monitoring.sh, dashy, tags_processor_network_mode.
Convert: jitsimeet (rm/wget/unzip/mv/sed/tee/gen-passwords on /docker ->
runFileOp/runFileWrite), authelia (config sed/mkdir/chmod/chown/secrets tee
-> runFileOp/runFileWrite; docker exec -> runFileOp docker, preserving
--password), reset_git (cp->/root runSystem, install-dir chown runInstallOp;
kept sudo -u manager). check_update/update_git_check need no change (all
sudo -u manager git, already least-privilege).

Add -a/--append to runFileWrite so the pervasive /docker/logs log-append
idiom (`… | sudo tee -a $logs_dir/$docker_log_file`) routes through the
mode-aware helper instead of raw sudo.
Convert scripts/config/docker/docker_config_to_container.sh fully: all
ops target /docker app config + logs (data-plane), so md5sum/grep/chmod/
cmp/editor -> runFileOp and the log-appends -> runFileWrite -a.
Byte-identical in rooted.

In rootless the container was set to user: <host-uid> (e.g. 1002:1002) with
group_add: <host-sub-gid> (e.g. 166528). Inside the daemon's user namespace
those are out of range — group_add made runc call setgroups() with an unmapped
GID ('setgroups: invalid argument'), so the WebUI container never started.
In rootless the container now runs as 0:0 (userns-root == the install user, which
owns the bind-mounts and the rootless socket) with socket gid 0. Rooted is
unchanged. Verified: libreportal-service comes up and talks to the rootless
socket.

Application backups were driven by one crontab entry per app, each offset by
id * CFG_BACKUP_CRONTAB_APP_INTERVAL minutes. That minute offset is written
straight into cron's 0-59 minute field, so past ~20 apps it overflowed into
an invalid entry that silently never fired, and the fixed spacing could not
serialize backups that ran longer than the gap.
Replace it with a single daily entry (`libreportal backup scheduled`) that
enqueues a backup task per enabled app. The existing systemd task processor
drains them serially — no minute overflow, real serialization, and backups
are now visible/cancellable in the Tasks UI. Per-app enable is read from
CFG_<APP>_BACKUP at schedule time instead of being mirrored into crontab.
Removes the stagger machinery (timing/setup/check/remove scripts), the
now-unused cron_jobs table + insert, and the CFG_BACKUP_CRONTAB_APP_INTERVAL
config knob and its WebUI field.

Replaces the slow, interactive per-variable scan with a deterministic
reconcile: each live config is rebuilt from its (freshly-cloned) template —
keeping the user's existing values, adding new template keys
(CFG_REQUIREMENT_CONFIGS_AUTO_UPDATE), and dropping keys the template no
longer defines (new CFG_REQUIREMENT_CONFIGS_AUTO_DELETE, default true).
Structure/order/comments follow the template; non-interactive; atomic with a
.bak; refuses to act on a missing/empty template so a broken clone can't wipe
a config. Applies to both general and per-app configs.

Replace the static one-host-per-app model with per-port routers: each
Traefik-managed port carries a subdomain (12-col PORT format) and gets a
DOMAINSUBNAME_TAG_<n> host, so one container can serve unlimited hosts.
tagsProcessorPortSubdomains stamps per-port hosts (subdomain @/empty = apex,
multi-level allowed); tagsProcessorPortRouterBlocks comments out
# TRAEFIK_PORT_<n>_BEGIN/END blocks for non-Traefik ports so unfilled
placeholders never ship (mirrors GLUETUN_OFF). Convert all 27 router apps
