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.

Split the rootless network-driver knob out of network_docker into a
dedicated advanced subcategory (configs/network/network_rootless), marked
**ADVANCED** at both the file-header and field level so it's hidden behind
the advanced toggle in the WebUI. Registered in the network .category
order after network_docker. Pure config relocation — the install script
reads CFG_ROOTLESS_NET as a sourced var, so no script change needed.

Switch the rootless network stack from slirp4netns+builtin to pasta+
implicit (faster and propagates the real client source IP). The earlier
pasta+builtin attempt bricked the daemon because rootlesskit rejects
mismatched net/port-driver pairs; expose a single CFG_ROOTLESS_NET knob
(pasta default, slirp4netns fallback) and derive the matching port
driver in-script so an invalid combo can't be configured. Disable
userland-proxy in the rootless daemon.json (merged, not clobbered) so
containers see the real source IP. Both driver binaries are always
installed, so switching is a config flip + rootless re-setup.

A free, open, self-hosted app platform (GNU AGPLv3): one-click app deploys,
Traefik reverse proxy with automatic SSL, rootless Docker support, gluetun
VPN routing, and a web dashboard to manage it all.
Free & open forever to self-host; optional paid hosted services fund it.
