Adds a `libreportal system reclaim` CLI command and an orange "Reclaim
space" button on /admin/config/system/storage (the v2 prune control the
page always hinted at).
Scope is deliberately SAFE: build cache + dangling (untagged) images
only (docker builder prune -f + docker image prune -f via the
rootless-aware runFileOp). It never touches volumes (app data) or
tagged/in-use images, so nothing an app relies on is removed.
Wiring mirrors system_update: a systemReclaim() action + system_reclaim
route case run the command verbatim through the task processor. The
button confirms via showConfirmation, shows a spinner, and re-reads
storage usage as the prune lands. Button styled with --status-warning to
match the Reclaimable stat it sits under, with a note clarifying scope.

WebUI-created tasks emit camelCase initial fields (createdAt, startedAt,
completedAt, heartbeatAt, exitCode, errorMessage) per
tasks-manager.js / task-manager.js conventions, with createdAt in
ISO-UTC-with-ms (`2026-05-27T13:01:26.345Z`). The processor then layers
snake_case status fields (started_at, heartbeat_at, …) on top as the
task runs.
The CLI's cliTaskRun was writing snake_case only — `created_at` with
local-tz offset. The task panel's renderer reads `task.createdAt`
directly (no alias), so CLI-queued tasks showed blank Created/Started
columns until the processor wrote its own snake_case overlay
(which doesn't include createdAt at all). Visible symptom: dates
"broken" on CLI-queued tasks.
Now the initial JSON cliTaskRun writes matches what the WebUI's
"Install" button writes:
{
id, command, status: queued,
createdAt: "<ISO-UTC-with-ms>",
startedAt: null, completedAt: null, heartbeatAt: null,
exitCode: null, errorMessage: null,
type, app
}
Processor side is unchanged (still adds snake_case overlay on
status transitions — that's how WebUI tasks already work). No JSON
shape change for in-flight tasks.
ALSO (out-of-repo): /home/user/Documents/Scripts/update.sh now restarts
the systemd `libreportal.service` task processor after the docker
`libreportal-service` container restart. Same reason — both pre-load
code at startup, both need a restart to pick up changes. Without this,
deploys silently kept a stale processor running old code while the
disk reflected the new code; the install task-routing recursion I just
saw was a direct consequence.

Extends the install-routing spike (e5273a4) to every long-running CLI
command, so CLI and WebUI now share one execution path everywhere:
app install ← already done
app uninstall
app start / stop / restart / up / down / reload
app backup
app restore
update apply
backup app create (matches `app backup` — same end target)
Each handler now has the same shape:
if [[ "$LIBREPORTAL_TASK_EXEC" == "1" ]]; then
<inline call> # processor's recursive invocation
else
cliTaskRun "<cmd>" <type> <app> # user invocation: enqueue + follow
fi
Processor change — crontab_task_processor.sh:
Adds `export LIBREPORTAL_TASK_EXEC=1` next to LIBREPORTAL_NONINTERACTIVE.
Universal bypass: every task command the processor runs (CLI-queued OR
pre-existing WebUI-queued like `libreportal app install adguard`)
inherits the env var, so the inline branch fires and we never
re-enqueue. This also lets us drop the env-var prefix the install spike
was baking into the command string (e5273a4) — cleaner task files +
one place to think about the bypass.
`backup app schedule` (the cron-driven path that already enqueues via
createTaskFile in backup_app_schedule.sh) is left alone — different
entry point, different runtime context, already correctly task-routed.
Why route the fast ones too (start/stop/restart/up/down):
Consistency beats the ~1s task-roundtrip latency for a CLI button.
Locking now serialises a CLI `app stop foo` against a WebUI restart of
the same app; the audit trail covers every state change. Cheap to
revert any individually if the latency turns out to bother someone.
Validated live earlier with `libreportal app install dashy` — task file
written, processor dispatched, follower streamed install live, exit 0
propagated. Same machinery now powers the other 9 handlers.
Signed-off-by: librelad <librelad@digitalangels.vip>
Spike — closes the gap where the CLI install bypassed the very task system
the WebUI uses. Now both surfaces hit the same path:
user types `libreportal app install dashy`
→ CLI enqueues a task file in $TASK_DIR (identical shape to the
WebUI's createTaskFile)
→ pokes $TASK_DIR/.queue.fifo so the processor dispatches in <100ms
instead of waiting up to IDLE_POLL_SECS
→ CLI tails the task log + polls .status, exits with the task's
exit_code on terminal state
→ Ctrl-C detaches the follower without killing the task — the
WebUI's tasks panel keeps showing it
Bypass: the recursive command in the task file is prefixed
`LIBREPORTAL_TASK_EXEC=1 libreportal app install <name>`. The install
branch in cli_app_commands.sh honours that env var by running inline,
which is what the processor's eval invocation hits. No processor
changes — the bypass travels with the task.
Wins:
- one log file per install, shared by CLI + WebUI (audit trail + replay)
- locking serialises CLI + WebUI installs (no more two-frontend race)
- WebUI's "current task" indicator now reflects CLI work too
- free `--detach` for fire-and-forget queueing
New: scripts/cli/task/cli_task_run.sh
cliTaskRun <cmd> [type] [app] [--detach]
Enqueues + follows; --detach prints the task id and exits 0.
cliTaskFollow <task_id>
`tail -F` the log + jq-poll the status; returns the task's exit_code.
Designed to be reused for `libreportal task log <id>` reattach later.
Trade-off: ~200-500ms latency before the first byte (write task file,
processor wakes, opens log, follower starts tailing). Negligible for
install/update/backup — fast commands (list/status/config get) still
run inline. The current branch only changes `app install`; uninstall +
update + backup can be moved on the same pattern once this lands clean.

`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).

First step toward an autoload-style lazy loader for the 499-file source
tree (current cold load ~1s wall / 340ms user-time per CLI invocation,
mostly spent sourcing files the command never calls). This commit only
measures — no behaviour change unless LP_LOAD_TRACE=1.
LP_LOAD_TRACE=1 instrumentation (scripts/source/loading/initilize_files.sh):
Wraps each in the main file-list loop with EPOCHREALTIME
before/after, writes `<elapsed_ms>\t<file_relpath>` to
$LP_LOAD_TRACE_FILE (default /tmp/libreportal-load-trace.<pid>.log).
Zero overhead when the env var is unset (one [[ test per file).
libreportal debug load-trace [cmd...]:
New `debug` CLI category. Spawns a child `libreportal <args>` (default
'help') with LP_LOAD_TRACE=1, then awk-aggregates the trace: wall vs
cumulative source time, file count, top-15 hottest files. The diff
between wall and cumulative-source = bash startup + dispatch + the
command's own work.
Used in the next phases to (a) validate that the lazy loader actually
delivers the speedup we expect and (b) flag any single file that hogs
disproportionate time (rare `heredoc | sed | base64` style work at
source time would show up here as a >10ms entry).

End-to-end direct-ssh-direct: two LibrePortal instances exchange pairing
tokens, each authorizes the other to call a locked-down peer-shell dispatcher
via SSH forced-command, then either side can pull live app data from the
other without needing a shared backup repo.
Push and Connect-via-relay are deferred — push is symmetric to pull (same
forced-command, opposite verb), and the relay variant waits for Connect to
actually exist (config_json + kind enum already future-proofed in Phase 2).
Key generation (peer_key.sh):
One ed25519 keypair per install at ~<manager>/.ssh/libreportal-peer{,.pub}.
Generated lazily on the first peer-related call. Used as our outbound
SSH identity AND as the pubkey other instances authorize.
Forced-command dispatcher (peer_shell.sh):
Standalone script, deployed by peerInstallShell() to
~<manager>/.local/bin/peer-shell. authorized_keys entries look like:
command="~/.local/bin/peer-shell <peer-name>",no-pty,no-port-forwarding,
no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-user-rc ssh-ed25519 AAAA… peer:<name>
sshd hands us $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND; we parse, whitelist the verb, and
refuse anything else. Verbs:
ping Liveness probe (JSON ok:true).
list-apps JSON {peer, apps:[{slug, size_kb}]}.
stream-app tar of containers_dir/<slug> to stdout (slug strictly
validated — lowercase alnum+dash; rejects path traversal).
Audit log appended to ~/.local/state/libreportal/peer-shell.log. Excluded
from the generated source arrays (would crash any sourcing shell on empty
SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND); generate_arrays.sh skip-list extended.
Pairing token (peer_pairing.sh):
Format: lp-peer|v1|<name>|<user>|<host>|<port>|<base64-pubkey>|<fingerprint>
Pipe-delimited because the SHA256 fingerprint and base64 pubkey both
contain ':'. peerPairingParse decodes + re-derives the fingerprint from
the actual key, refusing tokens with mismatched fingerprints (catches
truncation / tampering). peerPairingAccept:
1. Installs peer-shell (peerInstallShell).
2. Appends to authorized_keys with the lockdown options above.
3. Inserts a peers row (kind=direct-ssh-direct, config carries host,
port, user, fingerprint).
Symmetric — user runs accept on BOTH sides with the other's token to
enable bidirectional calls.
Outbound SSH (peer_remote.sh):
peerExec <name> <verb> [args] — looks up the peer's connection config and
ssh's in with the right key, BatchMode + ConnectTimeout + accept-new for
the host key. peerPing wraps it and updates peers.status + last_seen.
Pull-an-app (peer_pull.sh):
peerPullApp <peer> <app> [--no-pre-backup] [--keep-urls]
1. peerPing (refuse if unreachable).
2. migratePreBackupDestination (reuses the Phase 0 safety wrapper —
same restic-tagged pre-migrate snapshot as the backup-channel flow).
3. Stop + wipe destination's app folder.
4. peerExec stream-app | tar -x (pipefail; bails on partial transfers).
5. migrateApplyUrlRewrite + dockerComposeUpdateAndStartApp install
(URL repointing, idempotent install path).
6. dockerComposeUp + post-restore hooks.
Identical Stage-2..6 to migrateApplyApp; only the data source differs
(tar-over-SSH instead of restic-restore).
CLI (cli_peer_commands.sh + header):
libreportal peer token — emit this host's pairing token
libreportal peer pair <token> [name] — accept a token (override name)
libreportal peer apps <peer> — live peer-shell list-apps
libreportal peer pull <peer> <app> [--no-pre-backup] [--keep-urls]
WebUI (/peers):
Header gains 'Show my token' and 'Pair with token' buttons (both open
modals around the matching CLI verbs). Token modal warns the user that
the token is credentials. Pair modal accepts a free-form override name.
Direct-SSH peer cards gain a 'List apps' button that opens an inline
drawer showing the peer's live app inventory (via peer apps) with per-
app 'Pull' buttons. Pull modal has the same two safety toggles as the
Migrate tab (pre-backup ON, URL rewrite ON by default).
Backup-channel manual-add modal kept; direct-SSH must use the token flow.
Smoke-tested:
- All 16 peer-subsystem functions register without crashing the shell.
- peer-shell ping ⇒ {ok:true}; unknown-verb refused; path-traversal slug
refused; valid-slug streams.
- Token emit→parse round-trip preserves every field; garbage rejected
with not-a-token; v99 rejected with unsupported-version.

A peer is a named reference to another LibrePortal instance. Phase 2 only
implements kind=backup-channel (friendly label over a hostname that shows
up in a shared backup repo); direct-ssh-direct and direct-ssh-via-relay
(Connect's blind-relay) are reserved enum values for Phase 3.
DB schema (db_create_tables.sh):
CREATE TABLE peers (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
name TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
kind TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'backup-channel',
config_json TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}',
status TEXT DEFAULT 'unknown',
last_seen TEXT,
created_at TEXT DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
+ indexes on name and kind.
config_json is kind-specific so new transports don't need a schema
migration. For backup-channel it carries {"hostname":"","loc_idx":N}.
Bash module (scripts/peer/):
peer_helpers.sh _peerDb, peerSqlEscape, peerValidateName/Kind.
peer_add.sh peerAdd <name> <kind> [k=v ...] → INSERT, refresh
generator. Rejects unimplemented kinds early so users
don't create dead-end peer records.
peer_remove.sh peerRemove <name> → DELETE.
peer_list.sh peerList → JSON array; peerGet, peerNameForHostname
(reverse-lookup for the migrate-tab overlay).
peer_check.sh peerCheckReachable, peerCheckAll. For backup-channel
'reachable' = at least one snapshot from that hostname
visible in (preferred|any enabled) location. Updates
status + last_seen so UI dots render without re-probing.
CLI (scripts/cli/commands/peer/):
libreportal peer list
libreportal peer get <name>
libreportal peer add <name> backup-channel hostname=<host> [loc_idx=<n>]
libreportal peer remove <name>
libreportal peer check [name]
Auto-routed by cli_initialize.sh's category-discovery.
WebUI data generator (scripts/webui/data/generators/peers/webui_peers.sh):
Emits data/peers/generated/peers.json with the peerList output and a
generated_at envelope. Hooked into webuiLibrePortalUpdate alongside the
backup generators.
Frontend:
- New top-level /peers route in spa.js (PeersPage class, peers-content.html).
- 'Peers' nav item in the topbar between Backups and the right-side controls.
- Add-peer modal with friendly-name + kind + hostname + preferred-location
selector (populated from the existing backup-locations data).
- Per-peer card with status dot, last-checked time, Check + Remove buttons.
- Phase 3 kinds appear in the kind dropdown as disabled options so users
can see what's coming.
Source-array wiring:
- generate_arrays.sh auto-created files_peer.sh from the new peer/ dir.
- cli_files.sh + app_files.sh include ${peer_scripts[@]} alphabetically.
- files_webui.sh auto-picked-up the new peers/ generator subfolder.
The migrate-tab friendly-name overlay (use peer names in /backup/migrate
when a peer record exists for a hostname) is intentionally deferred — it's
a 5-line frontend lookup once peers.json is loaded; cleaner to add after
Phase 3 ships its peer-detail view.

Phase 0 of the migration-system refresh. Replaces the 77-line
scripts/migrate/ with a properly-shaped kernel that Phase 1 (WebUI) and
Phase 3 (direct peer SSH) can both build on.
New module layout (6 files):
migrate_progress.sh — migrateEmit JSON-per-line helper; opt-in via
MIGRATE_JSON_PROGRESS=1, writes to fd 3 if open
(clean WebUI streaming channel) else stdout.
migrate_discover.sh — migrateDiscoverHosts / migrateDiscoverApps /
migrateDiscoverAppDetail (JSON {snapshots, latest_*}).
Old migrateDiscoverAppsForHost kept as back-compat.
migrate_preflight.sh — migratePreflight emits one JSON object with
snapshot{id,date}, destination{installed,running,
disk_free_kb}, collision{occurs,default_action,
pre_backup_default}, url_rewrite{default_action,
per_app_opt_out}, warnings[], errors[].
Exit 0 on usable preflight, 1 on hard error.
migrate_url_rewrite.sh— Host-bound CFG_<APP>_* fields (URL/HOST/DOMAIN/
DOMAIN_PREFIX/HOSTNAME/PUBLIC_URL) get rewritten
from the destination's install-template after
restore — so a moved app stops claiming the
source's hostnames. Per-app opt-out via
CFG_<APP>_MIGRATE_URL_REWRITE=false. All other
fields (DB passwords, API keys, prefs) carry
over from the source unchanged.
migrate_pre_backup.sh — migratePreBackupDestination takes a snapshot of
the destination's existing <app> (tagged
pre-migrate=<UTC timestamp>) before the wipe.
Default ON; opt-out with --no-pre-backup. Safety
net for the always-replace collision policy.
migrate_apply.sh — migrateApplyApp / migrateApplySystem. Parses
--no-pre-backup / --keep-urls / --json-progress
opts, runs preflight → pre-backup → restoreAppStart
(existing flow) → URL rewrite → re-deploy compose.
migrateApp / migrateSystem kept as shims so the
old CLI surface still works.
CLI dispatcher (cli_restore_commands.sh + cli_restore_header.sh):
Existing 'restore migrate app/system/discover' calls all still work.
New verbs:
restore migrate list <host> [loc_idx]
restore migrate preflight <host> <app> [loc_idx] ← JSON, for the WebUI
Design choices baked in (per the spec):
- Always-replace collision (no multi-install of an app), safety net is the
on-by-default pre-migrate backup.
- URL rewrite by host-bound suffix list, not per-field allowlist — works
out-of-the-box for new apps without extra config.
- migrateEmit fd-3 contract is what Phase 1's WebUI will stream; falls
back to stdout in interactive CLI so dev/debug just works.
- Transport-agnostic: nothing in this kernel knows whether the backup
location is local/SSH/S3/Connect — engineSnapshotsJson + engineBackupApp
do that, so Connect (the future blind-relay) plugs in as 'just another
location kind' with zero kernel changes.
Smoke-tested: all 13 public functions register; JSON emit produces correct
escaping (quoted strings vs bare numerics) and respects MIGRATE_JSON_PROGRESS.

Expose the system-config backup on demand (not just within 'backup all'):
- `libreportal backup system` -> backupSystemConfig (snapshot the system
config — settings, WebUI creds, backup-location creds — to all enabled locations)
- `libreportal restore system [loc_idx]` -> backupRestoreSystemConfig (restore the
latest system snapshot into a staging dir; never overwrites live config)
Distinct from the existing 'restore migrate system' (which restores all *apps*
from another host). Help text updated for both. Routing verified with stubs.

Add `lpRegen` (scripts/webui/webui_regen.sh) — one entry point that rebuilds the
file-derived artifacts whose sources changed, so callers don't have to know which
generator owns what. Self-heal is a cheap `find -newer` mtime compare (no watcher
/ daemon): a stage runs only when a source is newer than its artifact, or --force.
- `libreportal regen [all|webui|arrays] [--force]` CLI command (new category).
- Task processor idle tick runs a throttled `regen webui` poll, so an app dropped
in out-of-band (drag-drop / marketplace) appears on its own — no manual command,
no inotify (works on the relocatable/external-drive roots where inotify can't).
- make_release.sh guards against shipping stale source arrays (regenerate; abort
if the committed tree was out of date), killing the "forgot generate_arrays" bug
class at the build boundary.
- Document the front door in DEVELOPMENT.md.
webui scope rebuilds from containers/<app>/{*.config,tools/*.tools.json}; arrays
scope from scripts/** (a dev/build concern — a no-op on a normal install). Gate
logic verified in a sandbox (clean/config-newer/tools-newer/force/missing).

Fresh, on-demand inbound SSH-access management for the host (replaces the old
maze). scripts/ssh/host_access.sh manages the install user's authorized_keys —
add a pasted public key (validated), list, remove — and toggles sshd password
login behind a lockout guard (won't disable passwords with no key; won't drop
the last key while passwords are off; sshd -t before reload, with backup).
New 'ssh' CLI category (status/key-add/key-remove/password-auth/generate) and
a webuiGenerateSshAccess snapshot (data/ssh/access.json: user, password_auth,
authorized keys as type+fingerprint+comment — public only) wired into the

Found while testing live backups end-to-end:
- Engine backup adapters logged to stdout, so the caller's $() snapshot-id
capture was polluted with log text — verify-after-backup then failed with
'no matching ID' on every run. Route their log lines to stderr so stdout is
only the id (restic/borg/kopia).
- 'libreportal app restore <app> --latest' (as the help advertises) and the

ssh_key_exists + ssh_public_key (public key only — the private key never

The per-type field map lived hardcoded in backup-page.js. Add a
webuiGenerateBackupSchema generator that emits the type -> ordered field list
to data/backup/generated/schema.json (wired into the backup regen chain and
the CLI 'webui generate backup'). The editor fetches it into this.locSchema
and reads it via locFieldsForType; BACKUP_LOC_FIELDS_BY_TYPE stays only as a
fallback if the fetch fails.
Keeps the data-in-generators pattern consistent — the schema now has one
backend source of truth. The dynamic show/hide behaviors (SSH auth, path
mode, engine filtering) remain frontend logic by nature.

WebUI-driven commands (`setup finalize`, `backup`, restore) ran with an
empty $docker_install_user because cliInitialize only called
checkInstallTypeRequirement for the `app` category. The backup engine then
ran `sudo -E -u "" restic init`, which sudo rejects with a usage dump —
surfacing as "Failed to initialize Local disk" in the setup wizard.
Factor the user resolution out of checkInstallTypeRequirement into a
side-effect-free resolveDockerInstallUser (rooted -> sudo_user_name,
rootless -> CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_USER, with fallbacks so it is never empty)
and call it at the cliInitialize chokepoint so all command categories get a
valid install user, not just app.

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.

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.
