storage.json carries two lists: `candidates`, drives that could be added, and
`locations`, the ones already registered. The wizard read only the first. So a
drive vanished from Storage the moment it was registered — the step fell back to
"Only one drive found, so everything goes here" on a box with three, and because
the two root dropdowns only render when there is more than one option, the
choice they exist to offer disappeared with it.
A registered location is the clearest case of a usable drive there is. Read both
lists, deduplicated by path since one can appear in both while a registration
settles.
The generator's location entries carried no size or free figures either, so
those cards rendered as "free of" with both numbers missing next to a system
disk that had them. They now carry size, free, fstype and used_pct like the
system entry, and the card shows the name the user chose rather than the raw
path.
Found by the flow test: three registered locations, three apps placed across
them, and a Storage step insisting there was one drive.

The resolver already supported per-app placement — CFG_<APP>_STORAGE names a
location and appDir sends data, compose and config there — and 37 of 39 app
templates ship the field. What was missing was choosing AT INSTALL TIME. The
only routes were editing a config by hand before installing, or installing onto
the default disk and then `app move`ing it, which copies the data twice.
libreportal app install <app> --storage=<location>
and the App Center's existing storage dropdown, which travels inside
config_variables. Both resolve to one answer in storageChoiceFor, so there is a
single code path.
Ordering is the whole difficulty, and getting it wrong is quiet. installApp
copies the app template into appDir(), sources it, and later applies the form
overrides. The choice has to be live before the copy (or the directory is
created on the wrong disk), written into the config before the source (or the
template's "default" wins and every later appDir in that process returns the
primary root), and folded into config_variables (or the override pass writes
"default" back). Miss any one and the directory and its config disagree — which
resolves correctly only until something sources the config.
Refuses an unknown or unmounted location, an existing directory, and an app
whose template marks the field **READONLY** (fixed to the primary root because
other apps reach it by literal path — storageMoveApp already refuses to move
those, and installing one elsewhere is the same violation from the other end).
Three shipped bugs found making this work:
* updateConfigOption chose its write helper by comparing the path against
$containers_dir — the PRIMARY root only — so an app on any other registered
location took the manager branch and `sed -i` failed with exactly the
permission error the comment above that code describes. `app move` writes
the new location with `|| true`, so it reported a successful move while
leaving the config naming the old disk.
* storageLocationName resolved a location's name only from an in-scope
CFG_STORAGE_LOC_<id>_NAME, falling back to the bare id. That name is the
value CFG_<APP>_STORAGE is set to, so the generated dropdown offered
"location-1" as both label and value — a choice that does not resolve. Read
it from the location's config when the variable is not in scope.
* storageSyncAllAppComments was written for "the regen path" and never wired
into one. Every CFG_<APP>_STORAGE option list was frozen at install time, so
adding a drive did not make it selectable anywhere. Called from the storage
generator now, which runs exactly when those lists go stale — and extended
to app TEMPLATES, since an app not installed yet is precisely the one whose
install form needs to show which drives exist.
Verified on a live install with three locations: linkding and authelia on disk1,
ipinfo on disk2, fourteen on the default root, each config naming its own drive.

The wizard's Storage step builds its first entry from primaryRoot() — the
app-data root — and labelled it "System disk". On a default install those are
the same drive and the name is honest. Installed with --containers-dir on its
own disk they are not, and the step then showed the DATA drive's size under the
system disk's name while the actual system disk never appeared in the list.
Seen on a matrix case-2 install (apps on a 29.4G test disk, system on a 912G
root): "System disk — 26.7G free of 29.4G".
The generator now reports whether that root is really on the OS disk
(is_os_disk, by st_dev against /), and the wizard labels it from that: "System
disk" when they coincide, otherwise the mount point. The "system" badge stays —
it marks the default location, which is still what it is.
Also add lp-shot --token / --cookie-js. A screenshot answers "does it render";
"does this wizard step work" needs clicking, which needs a real browser, which
needs the session lp-shot already knows how to mint from the stored jwtSecret.
This bug was found that way.

The card said "911.9G · 808.4G free · ext4". The filesystem type is a
Details row, not something you choose a drive on, so it goes.
On percentage vs size: which one matters depends on the question. This
step asks "will my data fit?", and absolute free space is what decides
that — a 4 GB disk that is 89% free is still useless for a media library.
Percentage answers "is this filling up?", a health signal rather than a
placement one. So the text carries the magnitude ("808.4G free of 911.9G")
and a thin bar carries the proportion, which is what the eye reads
fastest, with no second number competing with the first.
The bar fills with FREE space, not used. Filling by usage made a healthy
7%-full disk render as an almost-empty track that read as a broken widget
— and it pointed the opposite way to the text beside it. Filled = room to
spare, draining = filling up, matching the words. It turns amber below
25% free and red below 10%.

Three changes to the Storage step.
The system disk is now a first-class entry — pinned first, ticked, and
locked, since apps fall back to it and it therefore cannot be deselected.
Its Details work like any other drive's, which is the whole point on a
single-disk box: the step now answers "where does my data actually go?"
instead of being skipped and answering nothing. The step is consequently
unconditional; the note changes to explain that no other drives were
found rather than the step vanishing.
The system entry is excluded from the submitted payload — it is already
the primary root, and asking the helper to register it would (correctly)
be refused for nesting.
Cards are one line again. Listing every warning under each drive pushed
them to three lines and made the step tall for no gain: the badge already
carries severity and Details carries the explanation. The note now says
to open Details for the reason rather than claiming it is on the card.
Badge colours were dark-on-light, which against the wizard's mid-blue
glass read as muddy grey — the "needs care" pill in particular. Switched
to light-on-dark, legible without shouting over the drive name.
Verified with lp-shot in both states: system disk alone, and system disk
plus a second drive.

The Storage step was a technical dump: every check's full sentence
concatenated onto the card, so the fstab line the user is meant to act on
was buried in prose nobody reads.
The card now shows plain facts and at most two short flags — "Low on
space · Won't be mounted after a reboot" — with everything else behind a
Details button. The modal carries the technical spec (device, UUID, mount
options, removable), every check with its full explanation, and the
fstab offer.
That needed the shell to stop joining checks into one string: the
generator emits a record per check, plus the fstab line as its own field,
so neither the card nor the modal has to parse anything back out of the
other.
The screenshot caught a bug this restructure introduced: summaries keyed
on check id alone, so a PASSING check printed the failure wording next to
a green tick — "This drive's format can't store file ownership" above
"Filesystem: ext4". Now severity-aware.
On writing /etc/fstab — §1 ruled it out and §6.3 now records why that
reverses. The warning is useless to the audience this is for: "add this
line to fstab" assumes SSH, root, an editor, and knowing what fstab is,
and the likely outcome is a reboot where nothing starts. What makes it
defensible is nofail + x-systemd.device-timeout, which mean a missing
device can never block boot — without that pair it would stay a non-goal,
because the failure being risked (an unbootable machine) is worse than
the one being fixed.
Enforced in the root helper: UUID never /dev/sdX, append inside a marked
block, refuse a target or UUID already described, refuse the root
filesystem, require a live mount, timestamped backup, and
`findmnt --verify` before the file is installed — a file that doesn't
parse never reaches /etc. Opt-in only.
Verified against a real filesystem: entry added and verifies, the
persistence warning then disappears on the next scan, and duplicate /
root-fs / non-mountpoint / relative are each refused with the reason.

webuiGenerateStorageCandidates now runs as part of webuiSystemUpdate, so
frontend/data/storage.json exists without anyone remembering to generate
it — the wizard reads it to decide whether its Storage step appears, and
the Disks view reads the same file, so the two can never disagree.
Warnings arrive from the shell joined with "; ". Rendering that verbatim
produced one run-on paragraph that buried the fstab line the user is
supposed to copy, so the card splits them back onto separate lines.
Verified on the live install with lp-shot: with one filesystem the wizard
shows "Step 1 of 4" and the Storage step is correctly absent; with a
second filesystem attached it becomes "Step 4 of 5" with the drive
carrying a "needs care" badge and both warnings legible. That also
exercises the visible-step mapping in both directions.

Phase 3 of docs/roadmap/storage-locations.md.
The step appears only when the candidate scan finds a filesystem
LibrePortal isn't already using, so the single-disk case — which is most
boxes — is completely unchanged. It sits before Recommended because a
location has to exist before an app can be placed on it.
Supporting two conditional steps meant the wizard could no longer treat
'position in the DOM' and 'step index' as the same number: Metrics was
advanced-only and got away with 'length minus one', but a step hidden in
the MIDDLE leaves a gap. Navigation, progress, validation and submit now
all run off _visibleSteps(), and section matching is by data-step rather
than DOM position.
Unusable candidates render greyed WITH the reason rather than being
filtered out — 'why isn't my drive listed?' is a support burden, and
'exFAT can't store file ownership' is actionable. The step is skipped
only when nothing usable was found at all.
What the wizard sends is a request, not an instruction: setupApplyConfig
feeds each path through storageAdd, so the fitness checks and the root
helper's admission rules both re-run regardless of what arrived in the
payload.

Two mechanical sweeps, no behaviour change on a single-root install.
The 14 `[[ "$p" == "$containers_dir"* ]]` prefix tests that decide
manager-vs-container-user elevation become pathIsContainerData, so a file
on a second storage root is no longer misclassified as manager-owned —
which would have written it with the wrong owner and failed later, far
from the cause. The 65 references to the WebUI's own tree become
webuiDir(), which is pinned to the primary root by design.
Two traps found while doing it:
run_privileged.sh is sourced directly by init.sh without paths.sh, so it
needs a fallback. Defining one named pathIsContainerData was wrong:
generate_function_manifest.sh indexes top-level definitions, and the
resulting autoload stub would have shadowed the real multi-root
implementation with the primary-only fallback — silently classifying
every file on a second disk as manager-owned, which is exactly the bug
this sweep exists to prevent. Renamed to _runCfgIsContainerPath, which
delegates when the real one is loaded.
setup_lock.sh built its path in a top-level assignment, so it was
evaluated at source time and needed the file flagged eager. Made it a
function instead: the path resolves on call, and the file drops off
LP_EAGER_FILES entirely.

footprint_update_needed only ever came from comparing the installed marker
against a channel manifest, so it could not fire on a git or local install —
they have no channel to ask. Those are exactly the installs whose code tree is
synced by hand, i.e. the ones most able to drift, and the drift was silent: the
helpers in /usr/local/lib/libreportal could sit behind the code that calls them
with nothing reporting it. That is how this box ended up running a crowdsec
helper with no bouncer-traefik-rotate action while the tool that needs it
shipped.
init.sh is what bakes the marker, so the install tree's own init.sh is
authoritative for every mode. lpInstallTreeFootprintVersion reads it and
lpFootprintStale compares. Wired into both non-release branches of the WebUI
status generator, and into the local branch of the interactive update check,
which is where a local operator actually looks.
Fails safe: a tree older than the marker, or a missing init.sh, reports current
rather than warning — verified alongside the real stale case.
Also gives webuiSystemUpdateCheck the self-reload guard webuiGenerateAppsToolsConfig
already documents. The WebUI task service sources these once at startup, so
without it an edited generator keeps writing the old JSON from memory.

Crash-loop detection keyed on `docker ps --filter status=restarting`, but a

An offline trivy install crash-looped (server FATALs when it can't fetch the
vuln DB), and on rootless docker the restart storm churned the shared network's
port-forwarder until the WebUI's own published host port was torn down — the
WebUI stayed healthy INSIDE its container but was unreachable from the host, with
nothing detecting or healing it.
Three fixes, in the house self-healing style (mirrors the network-drift trio):
1. Control-plane health checker wired into the existing task-processor idle poll
(maybeRegenPoll), no new daemon. dockerHealthScan (read-only) detects daemon
down, a WebUI running-but-host-port-unreachable (the port-forward corruption),
and crash-looping containers. webuiSystemHealthCheck writes
frontend/data/system/health_status.json + self-dispatches a heal — the user
can't click a button on a dead WebUI, so the poll drives the fix. Frontend
health-notifier surfaces a topbar badge + dashboard banner + details panel.
2. Failure cap, enforced centrally by dockerHealthHeal (task-gated): stops
crash-loopers (removing the churn), restarts the WebUI to re-publish a lost
port forward, and — only if that fails — recycles the rootless daemon and
restarts the core container. Caps every app immediately, no template churn.
3. Trivy no longer crash-loops offline: the server runs in a shell retry-loop so
the container stays Up and quietly retries on a backoff instead of exiting
FATAL. Verified: container stays Up across repeated DB-download failures.
Core WebUI compose gains restart: unless-stopped so it self-recovers after a
reboot / daemon recycle instead of staying down.

Closes the gap behind the vpn-recreate bug: when the shared network is
recreated with a different /24, every app's stored static IP is left
outside it and adoptDockerSubnet only realigns CFG, not the apps.
- networkScanConflicts (network_conflicts.sh): read-only scan diffing each
active network_resources IP against docker's real subnet (via ipInSubnet).
Per-service routing-aware — skips gateway-routed services whose ipv4 is
commented out in the deployed compose, so gluetun apps don't false-positive.
Distinguishes 'daemon down' (benign) from 'network missing' (real).
- webuiSystemNetworkCheck (webui_system_network.sh): self-throttled generator
that writes frontend/data/system/network_status.json (modelled on
verify_status.json). Wired into webuiSystemUpdate AND run unconditionally
every ~60s from the task-processor poll (regen webui is mtime-gated and
would never fire on drift, which touches no source file).
- networkHealConflicts (network_heal.sh) + 'libreportal system network
check|heal [app]': the heal adopts docker's subnet in-process, then re-IPs
stranded apps with reset_network=ip (ports preserved), gluetun first.
Mutating path runs only through the task system (dual-mode, like update
apply); read-only check runs inline.

Docker only tracks where an app's data lives (its bind mounts), not how
big a bind-mounted host dir is — so named-volume accounting reads ~0 for
LibrePortal, whose app data lives in bind mounts. Add a generator that
reads each app's mount map from `docker inspect` and `du`s the directories
(via runFileOp, so it runs as the data-owning user and isn't blocked by
rootless UID mapping). `du -x` keeps each measurement on its own
filesystem, so data on a separate disk is reported as a distinct
"external" total. The generator self-throttles to ~10 min since du is
heavier than the per-minute metrics. Surfaced as a "Storage by app"
section on the Storage page.

Adds per-file integrity attestation on top of the existing signed-tarball
release flow. make_release now generates a SHA256SUMS manifest over the shipped
tree and (when a key is configured) signs it, riding both inside the release
tarball so they land in the install tree with no extra download.
lpVerifyInstall (scripts/source/verify.sh) re-hashes the install tree against
that manifest and verifies the manifest's minisign signature against the
root-owned footprint pubkey, yielding states: verified / modified / tampered /
unsigned / unverifiable / development. webuiSystemVerify writes verify_status.json
(throttled daily, force on demand, also after each update apply), surfaced as an
Integrity line + "Verify now" button on the Admin → Overview Updates card and a
row in the update details panel. `libreportal verify` exposes the same check on
the CLI.
Honest framing: this is a self-check (run by the software it verifies), so red
fires only for genuine modified/tampered states; the badge tooltip points to
out-of-band `minisign -Vm` for an independent guarantee.

A manager-run 'update apply' refreshes code/apps/WebUI but CANNOT rewrite the
root-owned footprint (helpers/wrapper/uninstall/unit/sudoers) — that immutability
is the de-sudo boundary. Previously a release that changed those would silently
leave them stale. Make it explicit:
- init.sh: footprint_version=1 constant, baked at install into
/usr/local/lib/libreportal/.footprint_version (root:root 0644) by initRootHelpers.
Bump it whenever a root component changes.
- make_release.sh: publishes footprint_version in latest.json.
- fetch.sh: lpInstalledFootprintVersion (marker) + lpReleaseLatestFootprint (manifest).
- check_update.sh: 'update apply' REFUSES when the release's footprint_version
exceeds the installed one, directing to a root re-install (which fetches +
re-bakes everything atomically). No half-applied updates.
- webui_system_update.sh: badge sets footprint_update_needed + clears can_update so
the WebUI won't offer a one-click apply for a footprint-bumping release.
- docs/DEVELOPMENT.md: the bump rule + the footprint exception explained.
Verified: manifest carries footprint_version; drift decision correct both ways
(no marker/older -> needs re-install; equal -> no drift).

Make the WebUI updater work off release versions, not git commits, in release mode
(git/local paths untouched):
- webui_system_update.sh: a release branch resolves latest_version from the channel
manifest (lpReleaseLatestVersion), computes update_available via lpVersionGt vs
the local VERSION, reuses the same throttle + the same update_status.json schema
(source="release"); reuses last-known latest when throttled so the badge
doesn't flicker.
- check_update.sh webuiRunUpdate: a release branch version-compares and, if newer,
lpFetchRelease (download + checksum-verify) the new tarball + dockerInstallApp
redeploy + regen. No config-backup dance — lpFetchRelease replaces only the
install tree; configs/logs are in the separate system tree.
Verified against a local server: latest-version read + the no-update / update-
available decision (0.2.0==0.2.0 no; 0.3.0>0.2.0 yes). Remaining: route the

The CLI wrapper already runs as the manager (libreportal) but then did
'sudo ./start.sh', so the whole runtime executed as root — the reason
NOPASSWD:ALL was load-bearing. Drop that sudo so start.sh runs as the
manager; also drop the now-redundant sudo from the wrapper's own
manager-owned ops (config sed, /docker/configs + /docker/install
mkdir/cp/chown/rm, 'sudo -u libreportal' git clone, chmod). Only the
'cp -f init.sh /root/' copies stay root.
Running as the manager surfaced data-plane writes that only worked under
root; fixed to be owner-correct:

The remaining WebUI generators built JSON into a temp file inside the

so in rootless they produced root/libreportal-owned data and 'touch:
Permission denied' spam. Two problems: the temp lived in the (now
dockerinstall-owned) output dir, which the cron updater — running as
libreportal — can't write; and the final file landed wrong-owned.
Move each temp to mktemp (/tmp, writable by whoever runs the updater) and

dockerinstall in rootless, manager in rooted), dropping the redundant
createTouch; convert the dir mkdirs to runFileOp. Covers apps

useful "... JSON regenerated" line.
Add an optional "silent" flag to createTouch (third arg; default keeps the
existing loud behaviour for interactive install flows) and pass it from every
WebUI data generator/task. Touch + chown still run; only the logging is
suppressed for these background regenerations.

Surface when LibrePortal is behind upstream and let users update from the
WebUI, reusing the proven git-update path instead of reinventing it.
Detection (host): webuiSystemUpdateCheck writes
frontend/data/system/update_status.json from a throttled git fetch +
behind-count + VERSION compare, off the existing per-minute
`webui generate system` cron. A new /VERSION file is the canonical version.
Display (frontend): update-notifier.js/.css render a global topbar badge
(every page) and a dashboard banner (prominent when behind, subtle "up to
date" with a manual check otherwise), plus a details panel.
Actions go through the task pipeline:
- `libreportal update apply` -> webuiRunUpdate (non-interactive: guards,
forced check, gitPerformUpdate, then dockerInstallApp libreportal)
- `libreportal update check` -> forced recheck
gitFolderResetAndBackup's body is extracted into gitPerformUpdate (no exit)
so the WebUI path can reuse it; the interactive CLI flow is unchanged.
Detection JSON verified against the repo (up-to-date and behind cases).
webuiRunUpdate's re-clone + redeploy still needs validation on a live host.
The latest-version source is git for now and is the single swap point for
get.libreportal.org later — the JSON contract and frontend stay unchanged.
