Three small bugs in the legacy git-update flow that all hung off the
same never-set variable:
1. backup_install_dir was referenced in 4 files (reset_git_backup,
install_git_backup, use_git_backup, config_git_check) but DEFINED
nowhere — never has been, in any branch or tag. Resolved to "", so
"$backup_install_dir/$backupFolder" became "/backup_<ts>" (filesystem
root, perm denied). Add it to libreportalDerivePaths beside the other
roots, point it at $backup_dir/install (a sibling of restic's per-
location subdirs at $backup_dir/<idx>), and add it to initFolders so
it exists on first install.
2. gitCleanInstallBackups' find expression was
find ... -mindepth 1 -type f ! -name '*.zip' -o -type d ! -name '*.zip' -exec rm -rf {} +
`-o` binds looser than the implicit -a, so the -exec only applied to
the second clause. That meant: every non-.zip DIR anywhere under the
tree got deleted; every non-.zip FILE got matched and ignored. Even
once $backup_install_dir resolved correctly the cleanup would've
wrecked unrelated dirs.
Collapsed to `-mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 ! -name '*.zip' -exec rm -rf {} +`
— direct children of $backup_install_dir, kill everything that isn't
a zip, let -rf take care of the dirs. Synthetic-tree smoke test
confirms only the .zip files survive.
3. use_git_backup.sh had a typo'd doubled var:
copyFolders "$backup_install_dir$backup_install_dir/$backup_file_without_zip/" ...
Reduced to the single $backup_install_dir/$backup_file_without_zip/.
All three only fire in the manual-update path (libreportal update apply
under git/local install mode); the install-blocking path is unaffected.

`commandReloadConfigs` (baked into /usr/local/lib/libreportal/libreportal) and
`initCheckConfigs` both iterate every category dir's contents and `source` each
entry, with only a string-suffix exclusion for `.category` markers — no
`-f` test. That worked when `configs/<category>/` held only flat files.
The new backup system parks per-location configs at
`configs/backup/locations/<idx>/location.config`, so `configs/backup/locations/`
is now a SUBDIRECTORY inside the backup category. Sourcing it tripped:
source: /libreportal-system/configs/backup/locations: is a directory
…surfacing whenever something triggered a drift-driven config reload (e.g.
during a `regen --force` or a release-mode re-fetch). The nested location
configs already have their own dedicated loader (`sourceBackupLocations`)
that handles the depth-3 walk; the category-level loop just needs to leave
that subtree alone.
Collapse both loops to the cleaner guard `initReloadConfigs` and
`commandUpdateConfigOption` already use:
if [ -f "$config_file" ] && [[ ! "$config_file" =~ \.category$ ]]; then
…which both excludes directories (the bug) and the `.category` markers in
one shot, and drops a small pile of `should_load`/`filename` boilerplate
along the way. Verified live on dev-ai (CLI tool dispatch now works
through a drift-triggered reload without exiting non-zero).

Triage of a broken fresh install:
1. init.sh → all root setup → completeInitMessage hands off to
`libreportal run install` as the manager.
2. start.sh sources load_sources.sh, which calls sourceCheckFiles "run".
3. sourceCheckFiles "run" calls checkUpdates — its only path to startLoad on
a non-local mode is via the git/release recovery branches.
4. git fails (the deployed install dir has no .git), lpFetchRelease fails (no
reachable release manifest), none of the recovery branches converge on
startLoad, and the install silently exits with WebUI + service unset.
Fix: completeInitMessage exports LIBREPORTAL_INITIAL_INSTALL=1, and the
sourceCheckFiles "run" branch calls startLoad directly when that's set — same
endpoint the local-mode branch hits. We just installed the latest code from
this tree; checking for updates on the first run was nonsensical and the
recovery gauntlet would only break things.
Confirmed by re-running uninstall + install: the install now reaches the
Pre-Installation / database / WebUI build / crontab / WebUI compose-up steps
and produces a working WebUI. (A separate compose-tag bug surfaced next —
fixed in the follow-up commit.)

On installs that went through the EasyDocker rename (or any case where the
manager user's uid was recycled), /home/<manager> stays owned by the old uid
(useradd doesn't take over an existing home dir). Files inside, including
restic's ~/.cache/restic, become unreadable by the new manager → restic logs
"mkdir: permission denied" every backup. Non-fatal but slows them.
Same recycled-uid pattern as the cron-spool cleanup right above this block:
chown -R only when the directory's owner uid != the manager's current uid.
Idempotent — a fresh install or one that's already correct is a no-op.

The rename was justified partly by an anticipated second `libreportal-regen`
unit — which we then decided not to create (the poll rides the existing task
processor). What's left is cosmetic, and it isn't worth a footprint_version bump
(which forces a root re-install on every existing box) plus the dual-name
migration cruft.
Reverting also means the rename was the ONLY footprint change in the regen work,
so the whole regen system now ships as a plain manager-owned code deploy — no
root re-install needed. footprint_version stays 2.
Kept only the accurate FOOTPRINT.md note that the service also drives the poll.

The single systemd unit is the task processor (and now also drives the periodic
regen poll), so name it for what it does instead of the ambiguous bare
"libreportal.service" — clearer now that the runtime has more than one concern.
- svc helper: SERVICE_NAME=libreportal-taskprocessor.service; _drop_legacy()
stops/removes the pre-rename unit on install (idempotent migration) so an
upgraded box never runs two processors.
- init.sh: read baked roots from the new unit (fall back to the old name);
uninstall removes both names; bump footprint_version 2 -> 3 (root-owned unit
changed, so a manager-run update flags "root re-install needed").
- check_webui_systemd: accept either name during the transition.
- docs/FOOTPRINT.md: new unit name + uninstall command.
No sudoers change — it allows /usr/bin/systemctl generically, not a named unit.

The sha256 only proves a download is intact; a compromised host could swap the
tarball + its checksum. Add minisign signatures, which prove authenticity (the host
can't forge them without the offline secret key). Ships INACTIVE behind a REPLACE_ME
placeholder, so installs work until a real key is generated; then it's REQUIRED.
- make_release.sh: signs the tarball when LP_MINISIGN_SECKEY is set -> <tarball>.minisig.
- libreportal.pub: the public key (placeholder), ships in the tarball and is installed
to the ROOT-OWNED footprint (/usr/local/lib/libreportal/libreportal.pub) by init.sh
-> the manager can't swap it to accept forged updates. footprint_version -> 2.
- install.sh: LP_MINISIGN_PUBKEY constant; once non-placeholder, downloads + verifies
the .minisig (minisign -P) and REFUSES on invalid/missing (auto-installs minisign if
needed). --no-verify-signature is a dev-only escape hatch.
- fetch.sh (update path): verifies against the footprint .pub (minisign -p), refuses on
invalid/missing.
- docs/DEVELOPMENT.md: keygen (minisign -G), paste pubkey into libreportal.pub +
install.sh, keep the secret key offline, sign builds via LP_MINISIGN_SECKEY, bump
footprint_version on key rotation.
Verified end-to-end with a real throwaway key: good signature accepted; tampered,

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).

Remove the redundant repo-root uninstall.sh (it duplicated libreportal-uninstall).
init.sh now GENERATES the libreportal-uninstall launcher into the fixed footprint
(/usr/local/lib/libreportal/uninstall.sh + the /usr/local/bin symlink) — same
pattern as the CLI wrapper, so the on-box command survives without a separate repo
file. The launcher just runs the engine's uninstall ($script_dir/init.sh baked in,
/root/init.sh fallback).
This resolves the install/uninstall asymmetry: a bootstrap (install.sh) exists only
because install faces a bare box with no code yet; uninstall always runs the engine
that's already installed, so it needs no bootstrap — just a generated door into
init.sh. Repo root install/uninstall surface is now init.sh + install.sh.

The docs were telling users to run /libreportal-system/install/uninstall.sh — a
hardcoded data path, wrong for any custom --system-dir, contradicting the whole
relocatable design.
Fix it the way the CLI already works: install uninstall.sh to the FIXED footprint
(/usr/local/lib/libreportal/uninstall.sh) and symlink it onto $PATH as
'libreportal-uninstall' (initLibrePortalCommand). It self-resolves the real data
roots from the systemd unit, so the command is the same everywhere regardless of
where data lives. Teardown removes the new symlink; FOOTPRINT.md lists it.
Docs now say 'sudo libreportal-uninstall' — no data path. (Dev-from-clone still
uses ./uninstall.sh / ./init.sh uninstall.)

Bug: runFullUninstall used the derived $docker_dir/$containers_dir/$backup_dir,
but a bare 'init.sh uninstall' on a CUSTOM-location install has no LP_*_DIR in
scope and no /docker marker — so it defaulted to /libreportal-* and would MISS the
real data (e.g. /mnt/ssd), leaving it behind.
Fix: libreportalReadBakedRoots reads the authoritative baked record from the
systemd unit (Environment=LP_SYSTEM_DIR/CONTAINERS_DIR/BACKUPS_DIR + User=<manager>)
and runFullUninstall re-derives from it before removing anything. Legacy units
(no LP_*_DIR) fall through to the derive defaults + /docker compat shim.
Add top-level uninstall.sh: a root-only convenience that finds the installed
init.sh (via the unit's system root, then common locations) and runs it —
'sudo ./uninstall.sh [--skip-docker-images]'. Verified the unit parsing extracts
custom roots/manager and the discovery picks the right init.sh (without running the
destructive teardown).

Tidy the repo root (README + LICENSE stay there per convention; everything else

- update the references: README links, the website site.json raw URLs, init.sh's
'see FOOTPRINT.md' comments -> docs/FOOTPRINT.md; drop the now-redundant
CONTRIBUTING.md export-ignore (docs/ is already export-ignored).
Refresh FOOTPRINT.md: it claimed 'everything lives under /docker', which is no
longer true. Now describes the three relocatable roots (system/containers/backups)
and makes explicit that the roots + manager name are baked into the helpers/unit/

The git-era recovery commands now do the right thing in release mode instead of
attempting a clone:
- gitReset (libreportal reset / update reset) and runReinstall (CLI/system reset,
missing-files recovery): a release branch re-fetches the verified tarball via
lpFetchRelease, then refreshes /root/init.sh + ownership.
- the CLI wrapper's clone_and_install (libreportal reset): sources fetch.sh and
re-fetches the release; falls back to directing the user to the install.sh
bootstrap if the helper isn't present.
git/local behaviour unchanged. Wrapper still bakes cleanly (no placeholders left).
Phases A–D (release build, bootstrap installer, fetch abstraction, release-aware
install + update + recovery) are complete and locally verified. Remaining: phase E
(host install.sh + channels + tarballs on get.libreportal.org) and a real fresh
install on a throwaway box.

sha256 (refuse on mismatch/absence) -> replace the install tree ( is
code-only now; configs/logs live in the separate system tree, so no backup
dance). Host/channel from LP_RELEASE_BASE_URL/CFG_RELEASE_BASE_URL + channel.
- lpFetchSource: dispatch release|git|local.
- lpVersionGt: numeric dotted semver compare (used by the updater + badge).
init.sh initGIT is now release-aware: the bootstrap (install.sh) stages+verifies
the code and sets LP_ALREADY_FETCHED=1 (skip re-fetch); a direct release run sources
fetch.sh; a bare /root reinstall is directed to install.sh. install.sh exports
LP_ALREADY_FETCHED + LP_RELEASE_BASE_URL on hand-off. validateUnattended already

sudo_user_name (the real manager — owns the install, runs the runtime, baked as
__MANAGER__ into the root helpers) was hardcoded to 'libreportal'. Make it
configurable, consistent with the relocatable roots:
- --manager-user=NAME flag + LP_MANAGER_USER env (default libreportal); resolved
early in init.sh and in scripts/source/paths.sh (so the standalone processors
get it too), validated as a real Linux username in libreportalValidatePaths.
- Baked everywhere it must be stable: the helpers + CLI wrapper (CHECK_USER now
__MANAGER__, exports LP_MANAGER_USER) via the install-time sed; the systemd unit
exports LP_MANAGER_USER=<manager>. User creation (initUsers), the sudoers
drop-in, and ~35 call sites already used $sudo_user_name, so they follow.
- Fix the stray manager-name literals: install_crowdsec.sh chown, the
check_install_type fallback. (Brand/identity strings like the backup
engine:libreportal tag are left — they're not the username.)
Verified: resolves default/env/flag; wrapper bakes a custom name (admin) with no
placeholders left; validation rejects invalid usernames. The footprint paths
(/etc, /usr/local) stay fixed by design.

Make the three roots selectable at install and bake them into the CLI wrapper
(the last /docker-hardcoded consumer).
- init.sh: --system-dir= / --containers-dir= / --backups-dir= flags (=form keeps
the single-token shift logic), plus --allow-home; LP_*_DIR env also honored.
Re-derives paths after flag parsing.
- libreportalValidatePaths (run only in the install flow): each root must be a
non-root absolute path outside protected system trees; the three must not nest
(except the legacy /docker compat layout); a containers/backups root inside a
human home is refused unless --allow-home (rootless o+x traversal = privacy
trade-off). The root helpers re-check at runtime (defence in depth).
- CLI wrapper: a baked bootstrap (the same __ROOT__ placeholder mechanism as the
helpers) exports LP_*_DIR and derives docker_dir/configs_dir/script_dir; every
/docker literal in the heredoc now resolves from those at runtime. init.sh seds
the placeholders into the root-owned wrapper after writing it.
The scoped sudoers needs no change (it references only the fixed helper paths +
system binaries, never a data root). Custom locations verified end-to-end:
generate+bake the wrapper with /mnt/* roots → syntax OK, no placeholders left,
paths resolve. Live box untouched (wrapper/helpers only change on reinstall).
Phase 3b (external-drive guards) + phase 4 (verify) follow.

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).

userdel does NOT remove /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<user>, so across an
uninstall->reinstall the manager's uid can be recycled (e.g. 1001 -> 1003)
while the old spool file stays owned by the dead uid. The spool dir is
sticky (1730), so the new manager can't rename its temp over the
old-uid-owned file → "crontab: crontabs/libreportal: rename: Operation
not permitted", and the crontab silently never updates (the "added"
success message doesn't check the rename). Same class as the stale
easydocker spool left by the pre-rename migration.
Two fixes:
- runFullUninstall removes each torn-down user's cron spool (+ the legacy
easydocker one) so teardown stops leaving orphans.
- initUsers defensively drops a manager cron spool owned by a different
uid (recycled) before the manager-run crontab setup runs — fixes an
already-dirty box and any uid drift, in both modes.

The previous commit handed /docker/containers to the container user but
left /docker itself at initFolders' 750 (manager-only) during the install
— so the container user couldn't traverse INTO /docker to reach its now-
owned containers/, and the boot scan still hit "find:
'/docker/containers/': Permission denied" (the dir's documented rootless
mode is 751, but the reconcile that sets it runs later). initContainerLayer
now adds the o+x traversal bit to /docker (→ 751) alongside the
containers/ handover, so the boot scan can both enter /docker and read

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.

A full uninstall tears down the rootless daemon and removes the
docker-install user's home, which destroys the WebUI image AND the build
cache — so every reinstall's `docker build` runs from scratch (slow,
re-pulls the base image + reinstalls deps). On a slow local box that
dominates the iteration loop.
--skip-docker-images on `init.sh ... uninstall` preserves the rootless
docker layer: it still removes stale containers, the control plane,
manager user, footprint and /docker, but keeps the daemon running, the
docker-install user + home (image/layer cache), and the rootless sysctl
drop-in. The following reinstall then finds rootless already set up and
rebuilds the WebUI image from cache — fast. No effect on install.

initRootHelpers ran inside initUsers, before initGIT copies the repo into
/docker/install — so it read helper sources from a not-yet-populated
$script_dir/scripts/system and skipped all 7 ("Root helper source
missing"). This was masked on every prior install because the old
deploy's `rm -rf /docker` left /usr/local/lib/libreportal/ intact, so the
helpers were simply never reinstalled. A genuine clean install (now that
the deploy uses the full uninstall) exposed it: the runtime ended up with
only the CLI wrapper, the scoped sudoers pointed at missing helper paths,
and the WebUI never came up.
The helpers are only needed at runtime (the install phase uses the broad
install-phase sudo), and nothing between initUsers and initGIT uses them,
so move the call to right after initGIT (before initLibrePortalCommand,
which already installs the wrapper to the same dir post-copy).

runFullUninstall always prompted for `DELETE LIBREPORTAL`, so it couldn't
be driven non-interactively. Honor the existing global --unattended flag
(init_unattended_mode) to skip the prompt; an interactive `init.sh
uninstall` still requires it.
This lets the deploy helper do a clean teardown (`init.sh --unattended
uninstall`) for a full reinstall instead of `rm -rf /docker`. The brute
wipe left the task-processor systemd service running against a deleted
runtime dir; init.sh's idempotent service setup then saw an unchanged
unit and skipped the restart, so the reinstalled WebUI container was
never started. The uninstall stops the service and tears down the
rootless daemon + users in order, so the follow-up install behaves like
a true first install.

The install hands the heavy setup to the manager (completeInitMessage:
sudo -u libreportal 'libreportal run install') — creating the
docker-install user, rootless setup, apt, sysctl — which needs broad root.
initUsers was installing the SCOPED sudoers up front, so that handoff died
with 'sudo: a password is required' on useradd. Fix: initUsers installs a
temporary NOPASSWD: ALL for the install phase; completeInitMessage calls
the new initScopedSudoers to tighten to the runtime allowlist only after
the install succeeds (on failure, broad sudo is left so the manual
'libreportal run install' retry works). This restores the documented
'kill NOPASSWD:ALL AFTER the runtime is set up' ordering.

A single 'sudo bash init.sh uninstall' that permanently removes the whole
LibrePortal footprint, behind a typed 'DELETE LIBREPORTAL' confirmation:
- stops + removes the task-processor service
- best-effort graceful container removal, then tears down the rootless
docker setup + the install user's session (linger/terminate/pkill)
- removes the out-of-/docker footprint (/usr/local/lib/libreportal +
/usr/local/bin/libreportal, /etc/sudoers.d, the systemd unit, the
sysctl drop-ins, restic/kopia/ufw-docker, /root/init.sh)
- rm -rf /docker
- removes the libreportal + dockerinstall users + subuid/subgid ranges
Runs as root (the entrypoint root-check enforces it — and the scoped
sudoers can no longer self-remove anyway); self-contained (only init.sh's
inline helpers, so it works as it deletes /docker); ordered so containers/
daemon stop before the users are removed. Leaves docker/compose/apt deps
and SSH config in place (no lockout). Mirrors FOOTPRINT.md.

Organise the system footprint outside /docker:
- All LibrePortal executables now live together in /usr/local/lib/libreportal/
(root:root): the 7 root helpers AND the CLI wrapper. /usr/local/bin/libreportal
becomes a symlink onto $PATH. run_privileged._runRootHelper, init.sh
(initRootHelpers + scoped-sudoers Cmnd_Alias + command setup) all point there.
The wrapper is now root-owned too (manager can't tamper with its entrypoint).
- Fix a real bug: rootless sysctl settings were written to /etc/sysctl/99-custom.conf,
a dir does NOT read, so net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start /
kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone never persisted across reboot. Moved to
/etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-rootless.conf (the existing
reload now actually applies them). Consistent libreportal* naming.
- Drop dead fqdn_file=/root/libreportal-fqdn.txt global (never used).
- Add FOOTPRINT.md: a manifest of every file LibrePortal places outside /docker
(doubles as an uninstall checklist).

Bring the remaining deferred subsystems under the scoped sudoers, and drop
the one that's redundant.
Backup engines + app configs -> root-owned helpers (same pattern as
ownership/dns/ssh/socket/svc):
- scripts/system/libreportal-bininstall: install <restic|kopia> — does the
whole pkg-manager/signed-download install itself for a fixed, validated
engine name (no blanket sudo apt-get/install). restic_install/kopia_install
call it.
- scripts/system/libreportal-appcfg: {adguard-auth <user> <bcrypt>|
crowdsec-priority|owncloud-config <public> <host> <ip> <public_ip>} —
faithful ports of the AdGuard yaml / CrowdSec bouncer / ownCloud config.php
rewrites, fixed paths + validated args. adguard_auth/crowdsec_fix_priority/
owncloud_setup_config call it.
- run_privileged: runBinInstall / runAppCfg; init.sh installs + allowlists both.
Retire standalone (host-level) WireGuard — it's a duplicate of the
containerized containers/wireguard app (+ headscale mesh), its slirp4netns
speed rationale is largely moot with a better rootless net backend / typical
WAN-bound throughput, and it was the heaviest host-root subsystem (apt +
sysctl + iptables + /etc/wireguard), the worst fit for the rootless/
least-privilege direction:
- moved scripts/wireguard/ + manage_wireguard.sh + check_wireguard.sh to
scripts/unused/; dropped the install-path call, the Tools menu 'w' entry,
and the requirement check; removed the half-built libreportal-wg helper.
- generate_arrays.sh now also skips system/ (root-owned helpers, never
sourced); arrays regenerated (files_wireguard.sh pruned).

Replace the NOPASSWD: ALL drop-in with a validated, scoped grant:
- (dockerinstall) NOPASSWD:SETENV: ALL (data plane; rootless-confined)
- (root) NOPASSWD: the 5 root-owned /usr/local/sbin/libreportal-* helpers
+ a fixed system-binary allowlist (systemctl/ufw/ufw-docker/nft/sysctl/
loginctl/service)
No bash/su/tee/cp/chmod/chown/sed/mv/rm/install — none of the
root-equivalent primitives. Also: drop '-G sudo' from the manager useradd
(privileges come from the user-specific drop-in, not group membership),
and defensively remove legacy broad grants on re-run (a NOPASSWD: ALL line
appended to the main /etc/sudoers + sudo-group membership).
Validated live end-to-end as the manager: app lifecycle, webui generate,
ownership reconcile, ssh/dns/socket/svc helpers, task service, data-plane
drop (incl. -E for backups) all denial-free; sudo bash / sudo cat shadow /
arbitrary sudo chown all denied.
Residual (still raw runSystem file-primitives, denied under the scoped
grant until they get helpers / docker-exec rework): owncloud/adguard/
crowdsec app-config edits, wireguard-standalone, restic/kopia binary
self-install. These are opt-in/deferred features.

start.sh sources init.sh for its function defs at runtime (Model A). The
top-level install-mode auto-detect + initUpdateConfigOption write ran on
every source, rewriting CFG_INSTALL_MODE via 'sudo sed' on the
manager-owned config — denied under the scoped sudoers (the last
per-command 'a password is required'), and spurious '"Auto-detected ..."'
noise. Gate both on BASH_SOURCE==$0 (executed directly only); also drop
the needless sudo from initUpdateConfigOption (config is manager-owned).

Move the last runtime-critical root file-primitive subsystems behind
root-owned helpers so the type switcher + task service work under a scoped
sudoers:
- scripts/system/libreportal-socket: {rootless|rooted} {on|off} chmod of
the docker sockets (paths computed from config, not caller-supplied;
exit 3 = absent so the *_found flags come from its exit code)
- scripts/system/libreportal-svc: GENERATES + installs the systemd unit
from config (mode/uid/baked manager) — never accepts unit content from
the caller (arbitrary unit = root). Idempotent install/enable/restart.
- ownership helper: add db-own + app-file <app> <relpath> actions
- run_privileged: runSocket / runSvc
- set_socket_permissions -> runSocket; webui_install_systemd -> runSvc
(+ crontab cleanup runs as the manager directly, no sudo -u self)
- before_start: db chown -> runOwnership db-own; traefik cert/yml ->
runOwnership app-file (retires updateFileOwnership/changeRootOwnedFile)
- init.sh installs all five helpers

Two more runtime root file-primitive subsystems moved behind self-
validating root-owned helpers so the scoped sudoers needn't grant blanket
sudo sed/tee/cp on /etc (which is root-equivalent — sudo arg wildcards
match across '/', so even path-scoped entries are bypassable):
- scripts/system/libreportal-dns: {clear|add <ip>} — edits /etc/resolv.conf
only, validates the IP argument
- scripts/system/libreportal-ssh-access: authorized_keys + sshd
PasswordAuthentication management, with the lockout guards moved INTO the
helper (the trust boundary) so a compromised manager can't bypass them
- run_privileged: _runRootHelper dispatcher + runResolv / runSshAccess
(runOwnership now uses it too)
- init.sh: initRootHelpers installs all three helpers root:root 0755 with
the manager name baked in
- setup_dns -> runResolv (+ ping de-sudo'd, works unprivileged); host_access
+ webui_ssh_access -> runSshAccess

Under Model A the runtime runs as the manager, so establishing the
/docker ownership model needs root. Granting the manager a blanket
'sudo chown'/'sudo chmod' in the scoped sudoers would be root-equivalent
(chown /etc/sudoers, ...). Introduce a self-contained, root-owned helper
that performs only a FIXED set of reconciles on FIXED LibrePortal paths,
with owners derived from config + a baked manager name (never the caller)
and a strictly-validated app-name argument.
- scripts/system/libreportal-ownership: the helper (actions: reconcile,
traversal, containers-top, app-perms, webui, taskdir, app-data-nobody)
- run_privileged: runOwnership wrapper (sudo the installed helper; run the
bundled copy directly when already root mid-install)
- init.sh: installOwnershipHelper bakes the manager name and installs it
root:root 0755 to /usr/local/sbin (manager can't modify it)
- libreportal_folders/app_folder/app_update_specifics/task processor:
delegate the ownership chowns to runOwnership instead of runSystem chown
This removes chown/chmod-on-/docker from the runtime sudo surface, a
prerequisite for a non-root-equivalent scoped sudoers.

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:
- webui_system_metrics: .metrics_{cpu,net}_prev state via runFileWrite
- atomicWriteWebUI: path-aware temp+chmod+mv (atomic same-dir rename as
the path owner) instead of bare >/mv
- webui_app_config last_update trigger via runFileWrite

Model A prototype (run start.sh AS the manager, escalate only via helpers):
- check_root.sh: accept the manager user, not root-only (init.sh keeps its own
install-time root check).
- init.sh: guard the top-level root-check + installer entrypoint with
BASH_SOURCE!=$0 so it runs ONLY when init.sh is executed directly; when
start.sh sources it as the manager the entrypoint (and its root check) no
longer fires.
Also: convert bare daemon-touching 'docker' calls (no helper -> hit the
nonexistent /var/run socket in rootless) to runFileOp docker across
app_status, app_health_*, network_prune, ip_is_available, check_docker_network,
backup_db (db dumps) and crontab_check_processor. cd&&compose rooted-branches
and 'docker compose --version' checks left as-is (rooted-only / no daemon).

setupConfigsFromRepo / sync_configs_from_install used 'cp -a' of the template
over /docker/configs, so any fast/full deploy (which runs init.sh) silently
reset user config to template defaults — e.g. it flipped a live rooted box to
the new rootless template default and broke it. Use 'cp -an' (no-clobber):
fresh installs still get the full template, existing installs keep their values,
and new keys are still added by the add-only reconcile pass. This is also what
makes a rootless template default safe for existing rooted boxes.

init.sh appended 'libreportal ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' straight to /etc/sudoers
— a malformed line there locks out sudo entirely. Move it to a validated
/etc/sudoers.d/libreportal drop-in (visudo -cf before install, 0440 root:root).
The grant is still broad; this is the single managed file we tighten to a
scoped command allowlist once the runtime no longer needs broad root. Only runs
at install, so existing boxes are untouched.
