Restore built its restic include filter from THIS host's containers root:
engineRestoreSnapshot "$idx" "$id" "/" "$containers_dir$app"
restic reproduces a snapshot's absolute paths, so that only works when
both sides agree byte-for-byte. LibrePortal has shipped configurable
roots for a while, so restoring a snapshot taken on a host installed with
--containers-dir=/mnt/ssd/apps onto a default host matched no include
path and restored NOTHING — with no error, because an include filter that
matches nothing is not a failure. Storage locations turn that from a rare
cross-host case into an ordinary one.
storageSnapshotSourcePath asks the repository where the app actually
lived. storageRestoreAppTo restores in place when that agrees with where
the app belongs here, and stages-then-moves when it does not — which is
also what makes "restore this app onto a different disk" possible at all.
Both restore_app_start.sh and resticRestoreAppLatest go through it, and
both fall back to the old behaviour when a snapshot does not report its
paths, so older snapshots restore exactly as before.
The move into place runs as root (app-adopt) for the same reason app-move
does: a restored tree carries container sub-UIDs the manager cannot
recreate. Staging is constrained to the restore/migrate area and the
destination is validated against the root-owned registry, so neither end
is taken on trust from the caller.
The manifest now records where an app lived — location name, path and fs
uuid. The name is what travels, since a path means nothing on the other
host; the rest is for diagnostics and for answering "is this the same
disk?" during a migrate.

The main sweep — ~260 call sites across ~100 files move from string
concatenation on a single root to appDir/storageAppDirs/storageAppConfigs.
On a single-root install the resolved paths are identical, so this is a
no-op until a location is registered.
Enumerators were the interesting half. `for d in "$containers_dir"/*/`
appears in the menus, the registry/artifact scanners and the DNS setup —
and a shell glob cannot list a rootless 751 tree at all, which is the
same bug config_find_file.sh already documents in a comment. Routing them
through storageAppDirs (which enumerates as the owning user) fixes that
alongside the multi-root work.
Three places needed judgement rather than substitution:
db_app_scan.sh deletes database rows and port allocations for apps whose
folder is missing, and reaps "empty" app dirs. With a storage location
unmounted, every app on it looks exactly like that. Each of those
branches now gates on appStorageAvailable first — an app on an unplugged
drive is skipped with a notice, never deleted.
instance_create.sh rewrites cloned hooks so an instance touches its own
directory instead of the base app's. Its sed matched ${containers_dir}<type>,
which this sweep just replaced with $(appDir <type>) — so it would have
silently stopped redirecting, and an instance would have written to the
original's files (the adguard auth adapter case its own comment warns
about). Now matches both appDir forms, verified against bare, quoted,
unrelated-app, legacy and prose cases.
peer_shell/peer_pull streamed and extracted relative to the primary root.
Both now use the app's own root, and peer_shell keeps a single-root
fallback since it runs as a restricted SSH shell with no LibrePortal env.
Also fixes a pre-existing bug found on the way: webui_app_config.sh
tested "$containers_dir/frontend/data/last_update", one level short of the
real tree under the libreportal app dir, so the WebUI refresh trigger
after a config update has never once fired.

The backup engine already drops to the backup user (sudo -E -u
$docker_install_user) and backupLocationOwner == $docker_install_user, which is
exactly what runFileOp/runFileWrite resolve to in both modes. So convert the
raw-sudo data ops (mkdir/chmod/rm/find/cat/grep/mv/chown/tee on backup repos,
location configs, keys, manifests) to runFileOp/runFileWrite — creating files
as the owner directly, no root chown. backup_verify creates its scratch as the
backup user (runFileOp mktemp) instead of chown-after. Binary installs
(kopia tar/install, borg dnf) -> runSystem. The 44 sudo -u engine drops stay
(already least-privilege; the scoped sudoers will grant them).

Adds a logical-dump path so apps with a database can be backed up with zero
downtime and full consistency, instead of stopping the container.
- backup_db.sh: dump each declared DB live (mysqldump --single-transaction /
pg_dump / sqlite3 .backup), exclude the raw data dir from the snapshot, and
replay the dump on restore (pre-start rehydrate for sqlite, post-start load
for server engines).
- Databases are declared via a 'libreportal.backup.db' compose label so the
metadata travels with the app in the snapshot.
- New 'auto' strategy (now the default): live where a DB is dumpable or the app
is marked live-safe, stop-snapshot-start otherwise. Explicit stop/pause/live
remain as overrides.
- restic/borg/kopia adapters honour an exclude list on the live path.
- Manifest records the resolved per-app strategy and dumped databases.
