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

tagsManagerUpdateUniversalTag did a bare 'sed -i "$file_path"' — works only

The old copy/move helpers ran 'sudo cp/mv X Y; sudo chown $user_name Y' (root +

The backup engine already drops to the backup user (sudo -E -u

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

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

rooted via the docker group). The cd && docker compose paths drop the sudo on
the rooted branch (the rootless branch already used dockerCommandRunInstallUser

one chokepoint that will define the eventual /etc/sudoers.d allowlist.
Also: revert a crowdsec advice message the sweep wrongly rewrote (the admin

The rootless task-processor service env used id -u $sudo_user_name (the

/run/user/<install-user-uid>/docker.sock (e.g. 1002). The manager-uid path
doesn't exist. Use id -u $CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_USER so the env matches the

The task processor reads CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_TYPE once at startup to decide how

systemd launches the processor standalone, so it never sourced the LibrePortal

'finalize' never ran.

check_install_type.sh) + read the docker-type config at startup so runFileOp

dockerCopyBuildContext rsync'd the install template into the container dir

is stale/empty in this context, so it silently no-op'd and uid 1000 survived

Add --no-owner --no-group so the copy doesn't carry source ownership, and
chown via the config-authoritative dockerContainerOwner (rooted -> manager,

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
place the result via runFileWrite (writes as the container owner:
dockerinstall in rootless, manager in rooted), dropping the redundant
createTouch; convert the dir mkdirs to runFileOp. Covers apps

The firewall rebuild chose ufw-docker vs ufw from $EUID -eq 0 (am I root?)
rather than the docker mode. During a rootless install everything runs as
root, so it wrongly picked ufw-docker — which manages the rooted daemon's
DOCKER-USER chain that rootless never creates — and failed with 'Docker
instance libreportal doesn't exist'. (It was also inconsistent at runtime: the
non-root cron refresh always fell through to plain ufw.) Select by
CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_TYPE so rootless always uses plain ufw (ports are published
on the host) and rooted always uses ufw-docker.
Also: ufw-docker needs the container name, not the app name — pass
service_name (e.g. libreportal-service) with an app_name fallback; route the
traefik-detect docker ps through runFileOp (was raw docker -> /var/run in

The install/start paths and the switch reconcile managed /docker ownership
separately, so a fresh install produced different ownership than a post-switch
state — the root cause of the rootless 'touch: Permission denied' storm.
Consolidate onto the reconcile model:
- dockerContainerOwner(): single definition of the mode's container owner
(rooted -> manager, rootless -> config-authoritative docker install user).
- reconcileContainersTopOwnership(): owns + makes traversable the structural
containers/ top dir; now also run by the switch reconcile (previously only
the install pass set it, so a rootless->rooted switch left it stale).
- reconcileWebuiDirOwnership(): now uses dockerContainerOwner.
- reconcileDockerOwnership(): calls both helpers.
- fixFolderPermissions(): slimmed to the +x traversal bits; its ad-hoc
containers/ chown is now the shared helper.
- fixPermissionsBeforeStart(): drop changeRootOwnedFilesAndFolders (a
pre-de-sudo band-aid that only fixed root-owned files and ran contrary to
the don't-touch-third-party-data rule); reconcile the WebUI dir via the
shared helper instead. Delete the now-unused root_files_folders.sh and
regenerate the source arrays.

Three docker calls ran the binary directly (two plain, one sudo), so in

check, the system-disk WebUI generator (docker system df), and the
app-install fallback (docker ps). Route all three through runFileOp, which in

A fresh rootless install left /docker/containers/libreportal/frontend owned
by the manager (webui_install_image chowned -R to $sudo_user_name) while the
WebUI container and the host-side runFileOp generators run as dockerinstall.
So every generator touch under frontend/data and frontend/logs failed with
'Permission denied' (~27 in the install log). reconcileDockerOwnership chowns
the WebUI dir to the mode's container owner, but only runs on a mode switch,
not on a fresh install.
Extract that WebUI-dir chown into reconcileWebuiDirOwnership (rooted ->
manager, rootless -> the config-authoritative docker install user; runs as
root so it can chown either way) and call it from both reconcileDockerOwnership
and the fresh-install WebUI setup. A fresh install now lands the same
ownership a switch does, so the dockerinstall generators can write.

Switching rooted<->rootless re-maps every container's on-disk UIDs (rootless
offsets them by the subuid base), so a stateful app's data no longer lines up
in the new mode and a chown can't carry it. The portable carry is backup
(old mode) -> switch -> restore (new mode): restoreAppStart wipes and re-lays
each tree and re-owns it to the new mode's install user, which is exactly the
remap needed.
Wire that into dockerSwitcherSwap:
- switchMigrateBackupApps <old_mode>: before the switch, back up every
installed app except libreportal (reconcile already carries the control
plane). CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_TYPE is already the target mode by the time the
switcher runs, so force it (and the resolved install user) back to the old
mode for the backups, else backupAppStart would talk to the not-yet-running
new daemon. Any backup failure aborts the switch before the daemon is
touched (nothing changed). No backup location enabled -> skip and keep the
manual warning.
- switchMigrateRestoreApps: after the new daemon is up, restore each captured
app best-effort, re-resolving the install user first so data is owned
correctly; failures are reported per app rather than blocking.
Subject to the existing backup-completeness limitation (restic-as-libreportal
can't read files owned by other UIDs unless the app declares container-side
file capture) — same caveat as the manual procedure this automates.

The switch-to-rootless branch passed the literal 'root' to mode-aware
helpers whose vocabulary is 'rooted'/'rootless' (matching
CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_TYPE). Two were real no-ops: dockerComposeDownAllApps
root never matched dockerComposeDown's 'rooted' check (old rooted apps were
never composed-down before the switch), and dockerServiceStop root never
matched dockerServiceStop's 'rooted' check (the old rooted docker service
was never stopped/disabled). dockerServiceStart root was harmless only
because that function ignores its arg and reads CFG. Both no-ops were
silent until dockerComposeDown started reporting unknown modes. Align all
three to 'rooted'.

The control-plane/app-install-user detail was noise on the success line;
keep it concise as 'Reconciled ownership for <mode>'.

dockerComposeDown printed the 'Docker Compose down <app>' header then could
fall through silently: when the effective install type (passed type arg or
CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_TYPE) was empty/unrecognised no branch ran, and on a
non-Ubuntu/Debian OS the whole block was skipped. Collapse the duplicated
type=='' vs type!='' branches into one mode fallback and add notices for the
unknown-mode and unsupported-OS cases so the header always has a result line.

The rooted branch executed the command string as bare $command, which
word-splits without shell interpretation: pipes, redirects, && and quoted
Go templates were passed as literal argv to a single process. Nearly every
caller relies on shell syntax (docker ps | xargs -r ..., cd && docker
compose, --format='{{...}}', > /dev/null), so rooted mode silently
mishandled them — most visibly dockerStartAllApps after its pipe rewrite,
which failed with 'unknown shorthand flag: r'. Run via bash -c like the
rootless path so both modes share identical shell semantics. No caller uses
the sudo type arg.

dockerStartAllApps expanded $(docker ps -a -q) in the outer control-plane
shell, which has no DOCKER_HOST and so hit the nonexistent rooted socket at
/var/run/docker.sock. In rootless mode that connection fails, the
substitution returns empty, and 'docker restart' is then called with no
arguments. Push the whole pipeline into dockerCommandRun (matching
dockerRestartApp) and guard with xargs -r so it runs against the rootless
socket and no-ops cleanly when there are no containers.

The 'Update the .bashrc file' step printed its header but, when the rootless
block was already present, the if-guard skipped the whole body with no output
— looked like nothing happened. Add an else that notes it's already configured.

ROOT CAUSE of the WebUI-dir misownership on rooted->rootless:
check_install_type.sh sets the lowercase $docker_install_user to the MANAGER
user in rooted mode (it's a mode-dependent 'container owner' var). reconcile
trusted it, so mid-switch it held the stale rooted value (=manager) and chowned
the rootless WebUI dir to libreportal -> WebUI Exited(137) -> dockerStartAllApps
retried forever (the 'switch hangs' symptom). Now read CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_USER
straight from the live config file (authoritative, never polluted), falling back
to the CFG var then a hard default.

Previous fix still no-op'd the WebUI-dir chown: in the CLI/switch context the
path globals (containers_dir etc.) and the install-user vars can be unset,
making webui_dir a relative path the [[ -d ]] check skips, and the chown user
empty. Resolve everything with absolute-path fallbacks and read the install
user from the live config file when the vars are empty (never empty now), and
log what was reconciled (incl. a 'WebUI dir not found' notice) so a switch is
diagnosable.

Bug found via round-trip: after rooted->rootless the WebUI dir stayed
libreportal instead of dockerinstall, so the rootless WebUI Exited(137).
Cause: reconcile referenced $docker_install_user, which is unset in the
CLI/switch context (only $CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_USER is, like the rootless
helper uses) -> chown to an empty user no-op'd. Use
${docker_install_user:-$CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_USER} (and ${sudo_user_name:-libreportal})
so reconcile resolves the users reliably in any context.

Maintainer confirmed the intended model: the manager user (libreportal, in the
docker group) owns /docker in BOTH modes and runs things directly; root:root was
always an accident of un-de-sudo'd sudo. Rework the helpers accordingly:
- add runAsManager (run as the manager: plain when already it at runtime, else
sudo -u at install time) so files end up manager-owned, never root-owned.
- runFileOp/runFileWrite: rooted -> runAsManager (was sudo->root); rootless
unchanged (docker install user owns containers/).
- runInstallOp/runInstallWrite: always runAsManager (control plane is manager-
owned in both modes).
- runSystem unchanged (genuine root: apt/systemctl/ufw/sysctl).
All ~40 converted call sites inherit this via the helpers. reconcile's WebUI dir
now -> manager in rooted / docker install user in rootless.

Correction from the maintainer: /docker was always libreportal:libreportal;
root:root only ever appeared as an artifact of un-de-sudo'd sudo commands, not
by design. reconcileDockerOwnership now always assigns the control plane to the
manager user regardless of mode (was wrongly root:root for rooted). The deeper
implication — that the de-sudo helpers' rooted=sudo path also re-creates
root-owned files — is being confirmed before realigning.
