Phase 2 and 4 of docs/roadmap/storage-locations.md. Apps can now be
placed on a location and moved between them.
CFG_<APP>_STORAGE lands in all 37 app templates, holding a location NAME
rather than a path: names survive a migrate to a host with different
disks, paths do not. The 11 infrastructure apps that other apps reach by
literal path (traefik, prometheus, grafana, adguard, gluetun, crowdsec,
headscale, dashy, pihole, unbound, wireguard) are pinned. libreportal
itself never gets the key — it is pinned structurally by webuiDir.
Pinning needed no second config key. "Pinned" is not a fact about a value,
it is a statement about whether the field may be edited, so it goes in the
comment beside **ADVANCED** and **DEV** as **READONLY**, and the field
factory renders those disabled. That marker earns its keep beyond this
feature: derived fields already warned in prose that editing them does
nothing (crowdsec.config:72) next to a perfectly editable input.
storage_app_config.sh keeps the comment honest — it carries the resolved
path for hand-recovery and regenerates the dropdown from the registry, but
only writes when something actually changed, since the app .config is
user-editable and lives in the container-owned tree.
app move stops the app (a live copy of a running Postgres is a corrupt
copy), snapshots it, copies, verifies, and only then removes the source.
The copy runs in libreportal-ownership because it must: app data holds
rootless sub-UID files the manager can neither read nor recreate.
Verified against two real ext4 filesystems that a cross-device move
preserves uid 231141 and the payload, and that the source survives every
refusal path — unregistered destination, the WebUI app, a traversal in the
app name, and an occupied destination.
Task titles registered in both tables, with a specific rule so a move
renders as "Nextcloud - Move to bigdisk" rather than the generic fallback
dropping the destination. lp-task-names could not be run to confirm — it
borrows the WebUI container's node and no containers are running.

Three apps were instanceable and the rest were silent, so the feature
looked far narrower than it is. Every app has now been checked against
the two rules instance_create.sh enforces, and the answer recorded in
its config rather than left unset.
32 apps are instance-safe and now say so. Six are not, and each says why
in its own words instead of being indistinguishable from an app nobody
had reviewed:
pihole a DNS server must own port 53
unbound a resolver must own its fixed 5335
stalwart a mail server must own 25/465/587/993
traefik must own 443, and one Traefik routes every other app
prometheus node-exporter and cadvisor carry no "prometheus" prefix
stoat pins 7881, and database/redis/rabbit/minio carry no prefix
The first four are genuinely one-per-host: the port is not arbitrary, it
is the protocol. The last two are compose-identity problems and could be
fixed by prefixing those service names, which is a change to make
deliberately rather than in passing.
Recorded as an explicit false with a reason, not left unset, so the next
person reads a decision instead of an absence. The audit was verified not
to pass anything vacuously: every app resolves at least one service name,
so no app reached "eligible" merely because nothing was found to check.

Eleven app configs declared CFG_<APP>_AUTH_PROFILE as a "capability tier for the
WebUI auth tools". Nothing read it — not a shell script, not the frontend, and it
was never emitted into apps.json, so the WebUI could not have acted on it even in
principle.
The job it was meant to do is already done, and done better: authAdapterCanDo
tests `declare -F authAdapter_<app>_<method>`, so what an app can do is derived
from the functions it actually implements. A declared tier is a second source of
truth that can only drift — traefik declared single_password while its adapter
implements setPassword only, and linkding declared nothing at all while shipping
a full multi-user adapter, and neither mismatch had any effect.
Removed the key and its comment from all eleven configs, and replaced the stale
contract note in auth_adapter.sh with what the dispatcher really does.

Only two of the four keys flagged as unused actually were. gitea and invidious
ADMIN_PASSWORD are written by their auth adapters through authPersistCfg, which
builds the name as CFG_${app^^}_${key} from a parameter — invisible to a literal
grep, which is why the earlier pass called them dead. They stay.
Worse, the slot rename broke that write path for five apps: adguard, bookstack,
gitea, invidious and nextcloud all persist ADMIN_PASSWORD, and the config now
holds ADMIN_PASSWORD_1. updateConfigOption only rewrites a key that already
exists, so the write became a no-op — the app's password would really change
while the config and the WebUI kept showing the old one.
authPersistCfg now falls back to the numbered slot when the bare key is absent,
so adapters never need to know how a credential is numbered and adding a slot
can't silently disconnect the adapter that writes it. When neither name exists
it warns and returns non-zero instead of failing silently, which surfaces a
pre-existing case: linkding's adapter persists ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PASSWORD but
its config declares neither, and never did.
Deleted the two that really are dead: CFG_TRAEFIK_ADMIN_PASSWORD_1 (its adapter
uses CFG_TRAEFIK_USER/CFG_TRAEFIK_PASS from the system config) and
CFG_GLUETUN_CONTROL_SERVER_API_KEY_1, plus their WebUI field mappings.

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.

Adds the decision half of the app updater. Detection (P2) and the
snapshot-first apply/revert (P3) were already real, but nothing ever
pressed the button — every update waited for a click.
CFG_<APP>_UPDATE_TYPE=auto|manual per app, default auto (33 templates)
CFG_UPDATER_AUTO=true|false master switch, default true
updaterAppPolicy resolves the two the way backupResolveStrategy already
resolves backup strategy: the global switch can only make things more
manual. updaterApplyAuto runs at the end of `updater check` and enqueues
the ordinary updater_apply task for each auto app that has an update —
never applies inline, so an automatic update is the same code path, task
log, History entry and Roll back button as a manual one.
Safety: each attempt stamps its target digest under generated/auto/, so a
build that fails is rolled back and then left alone rather than retried on
every scan; in-flight updater tasks are skipped so scans can't stack.
Tracked end to end: updates.json carries each app's resolved update_type,
History entries carry trigger=manual|auto. The WebUI says whether updates
install themselves, chips only the apps that opted out, labels automatic
history, and — since an auto app's pending update needs no decision — keeps
it off the Overview board's "Needs action" view.
Also fixes artifactApplyAuto enqueueing without --detach: it runs inside
the single-threaded task processor's own poll, so following the new task in
the foreground waits for a task that cannot start until it returns.

Every backup-scope app now carries CFG_<APP>_BACKUP_STRATEGY=auto, so the
Backup Strategy dropdown appears in each app's Advanced tab — not just the
DB apps.
To keep it honest, the 'live' option is hidden where it isn't safe:
- apps.json generator emits backup_live_capable per app (from compose backup
labels: a dumpable DB, or a live-safe marker).
- apps-manager filters the live option out of the strategy select when the
current app isn't live-capable, so apps like gitea/focalboard (a DB we don't
yet dump) never offer it.

The static per-app CFG_<APP>_HOST_NAME is gone. host_setup (the app's
canonical FQDN, feeding the legacy single DOMAINSUBNAME_DATA used by app env
vars, the app URL and trusted-domains) is now derived from the app's primary
Traefik port's subdomain: first recommended port, else first Traefik port;
@/root -> apex, set -> sub.domain, empty -> app-name. Removes HOST_NAME from
all app configs, the config-form field mapping (Hostname), the dead
headscale stub, and wireguard.sh (now uses host_setup). Completes the move to
dynamic per-port subdomain routing.

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
(subdomains seeded from HOST_NAME; headscale admin. prefix -> subdomain).
