Tool descriptions were leaking internal vocabulary (Django superuser,
Postgres bcrypt update, htpasswd in protectionauth.yml, gitea admin
user change-password CLI, trusted_domains list, …) and repeating the
label as a full sentence. Beginners don't care, and even experienced
users don't need the CLI name to know what a button does.
Rewrites every tool description to a single short sentence plain
enough that a first-time installer can read it without context.
Conventions applied across the board:
- One sentence, sentence-case
- Plain English: "Set a new password", "Add a new user",
"Permanently remove a user", "List every user"
- "Leave blank to generate one" only where it's actually useful
(password fields), and matches the field placeholder text
- No CLI names, no schema field names, no internal file paths
- Destructive actions stop saying "permanently" twice (the action
label + the confirm modal already cover that)
- Field placeholders harmonised: "Leave blank for random" /
"Leave blank to generate" → consistently "Leave blank to generate"

Finishes the installApp refactor started in d941f59 (Wave A). Every app
whose <app>.sh was either pure boilerplate (Wave B) or boilerplate +
small custom logic (Wave C) now routes through the generic driver in
scripts/app/install/app_install.sh; bespoke logic moved to declarative
hooks in containers/<app>/scripts/<app>_install_hooks.sh.
Net: ~4,000 lines of duplicated 10-step sequence gone. From 31 per-app
.sh files (pre-Wave-A) down to 2 intentional keepers.
DELETED outright (pure boilerplate — driver replaces them identically):
jellyfin, mastodon, focalboard, ipinfo, speedtest, dashy, invidious,
nextcloud, ollama, vaultwarden, pihole
DELETED + hook-extracted (small bespoke step preserved in a hook):
bookstack, moneyapp, owncloud, trilium, searxng, gitea, headscale,
unbound, prometheus, grafana, gluetun, wireguard, jitsimeet, authelia,
traefik, adguard, onlyoffice
KEPT (intentional special cases):
crowdsec — host-app pattern (no docker compose, runs as apt+
systemd via installCrowdsecHost; uninstall/stop/
restart hooks already live in this file and are
invoked by dockerUninstall/Stop/RestartApp directly).
libreportal — WebUI bootstrap. Pre-compose image build + post-install
webuiLibrePortalUpdate + bootstrap-time suppression of
menuShowFinalMessages don't fit the generic flow.
Driver change — scripts/app/install/app_install.sh:
Moved monitoringToggleAppConfig "$app_name" "docker-compose.yml" from
the post-start integrations block into the install body at post-compose
(right after dockerComposeSetupFile, before docker-compose up). The
toggle edits the compose file on disk — running it after start meant
the container had already been brought up with the unmodified compose,
so the metrics endpoint wouldn't reflect CFG_<APP>_MONITORING until
the next restart. Matches the original ordering in every per-app .sh
that used to call it inline.
Hook surface (declare-f-gated, silent no-op when absent):
<slug>_install_pre before any install work
<slug>_install_post_setup after dockerConfigSetupToContainer
<slug>_install_post_compose after dockerComposeSetupFile (+ the
shared monitoring toggle on the compose)
<slug>_install_post_start after dockerComposeUpdateAndStartApp
<slug>_install_message_data echoes extra argv for menuShowFinalMessages
<slug>_install_post very last thing, after the final message
+ the existing _uninstall_pre/_post, _stop_post, _restart_post
Notable extractions:
bookstack — _install_post_start: probe :PORT_1/login until 200/302,
then `bookstack:create-admin` inside the container with
CFG_BOOKSTACK_ADMIN_{EMAIL,PASSWORD}; falls back to the
seeded admin@admin.com on timeout.
adguard — _install_post_start drives the wizard's HTTP API
(POST /control/install/configure) so the admin doesn't
click through five pages, then pins the admin bind back
to 0.0.0.0:3000 (matches the compose mapping) and health
checks. _install_message_data echoes user/password to
menuShowFinalMessages.
authelia — _install_pre requirements; _install_post_compose copies
configuration.yml + users_database.yml, substitutes
theme/domain/host, generates JWT/session/storage secrets,
toggles monitoring on configuration.yml; _install_post_start
argon2-hashes the admin password via the container, writes
users_database.yml, restarts; _install_post echoes creds.
traefik — _install_pre prompts for the LE email if CFG_TRAEFIK_EMAIL
is unset; _install_post_compose copies static + dynamic
configs, wires CFG_TRAEFIK_DASHBOARD_ACCESS (local-only /
domain-only / public), toggles monitoring on traefik.yml,
then traefikUpdateWhitelist + traefikSetupLoginCredentials.
wireguard — _install_pre host-conflict guard (/etc/wireguard/params);
_install_post_compose persists CFG_WIREGUARD_SUBNET,
resolves WG_HOST (domain+traefik → host_setup, else IP),
runs runAppCfg wireguard-ip-forward; _install_post_start
restarts after wg-easy installs its iptables rules.
jitsimeet — _install_post_setup downloads the tagged release zip from
GitHub; _install_post_compose mass-edits the .env and runs
gen-passwords.sh; _install_post_start rewrites nginx
default site to usedport1/2 + restart.
prometheus — _install_post_compose seeds prometheus.yml under
$containers_dir/prometheus/prometheus/; _install_post_start
sets 0777 on storage dirs so the container TSDB can write
regardless of host UID mapping.
grafana — _install_pre requirements; _install_post_start 0777 on
grafana_storage.
gluetun — _install_post_start refreshes the provider snapshot,
reattaches every routed app (the netns container ID is
stale after gluetun gets recreated), then prompts to
onboard any existing apps.
+ the smaller bookstack-shape extractions for owncloud (version scrape),
trilium / searxng (wait-for-first-boot-config), gitea (Prometheus
bearer token sync), headscale / unbound (config copy), moneyapp
(Auth.js AUTH_URL), onlyoffice (compose-resolved user/pass into the
final message).
Manifest + arrays regenerated. Verified end-to-end:
- bash -n on every hook file + the driver: clean
- Each hook file sources cleanly in a subshell, exposes only the
intended functions, flagged lazy-loadable (not eager)
- Smoke-stubbed install run for jellyfin (pure), nextcloud (pure),
bookstack (hooked), crowdsec (kept): correct dispatch in all cases —
deleted apps route to installApp, kept apps still hit their real
function

gluetun_providers.sh writes its working files ($raw, $headers) next to
$output_file, which lives at
containers_dir/libreportal/frontend/data/apps/generated/gluetun-providers.json
— dockerinstall-owned in rootless. The five rm -f calls on those paths
were unwrapped, so the manager running the script (e.g. from the
task processor) would get Permission denied — same class as the
updateConfigOption sed -i bug that was just fixed.
$tmp comes from mktemp (/tmp), so the rm -f for it stays unwrapped.
Audit context: this was the only remaining raw filesystem op against
container-tree paths in any containers/*/*.sh. The rest of the
container .sh files are clean — every sed -i / chmod / chown / cp / mv
is already routed through runFileOp or runFileWrite, and the
per-app install bodies delegate fs work to high-level helpers
(dockerConfigSetupToContainer, copyResource, dockerComposeSetupFile)
which themselves use the wrappers.
Hooks (<app>_migrate_pre/_post, restoreAppRunHook pre/post) are
present in the framework but unused by any app today — that's by
design (opt-in per-app). If a future app needs federation-key rotation
post-migrate, or a hostname rewrite that the generic URL-rewrite
layer doesn't cover, those slots are ready.

If it's gluetun code, it lives with gluetun. Both functions in
scripts/config/tags/processors/tags_processor_network_mode.sh manipulate gluetun
markers / gluetun's compose, so move them into containers/gluetun/scripts/
gluetun_network.sh and rename to the per-app-hook convention:
tagsProcessorNetworkMode -> appNetworkApplyMode_gluetun
tagsProcessorGluetunForwardedPorts -> appNetworkRegisterPorts_gluetun
Central call sites are now provider-agnostic — no "gluetun" literal anywhere:
- docker_config_setup_data.sh: an app routing via CFG_<APP>_NETWORK=<provider>
triggers `appNetworkApplyMode_<provider>` + `appNetworkRegisterPorts_<provider>`
via declare -F, so any future gateway provider plugs in with no engine edits.
- uninstall_app.sh: loops every `appNetworkRegisterPorts_*` hook (each self-skips
when its provider isn't installed), so removing a routed app refreshes the
right provider with no provider name in central code.
Delete tags_processor_network_mode.sh; regenerate arrays. Verified with stubs:
default mode no-ops, gluetun-routed app fires both hooks, gluetun itself is
skipped, unknown provider is silently no-op, uninstall loop calls registerPorts.
Drive-by cleanup: 9 stale "${X_scripts[@]}" array references in app_files.sh /
cli_files.sh (gluetun + headscale from this session's moves, plus 7 pre-existing:
command/ssl/swapfile/ufw/ufwd/user — all from older refactors that left them
behind). Each expanded to nothing at runtime (harmless), but they're dead
misleading refs. Cleaned both files; every remaining array ref now points to a
real files_*.sh.

docker_config_setup_data.sh's "App Specific" if/elif ladder (pihole, nextcloud,
searxng, speedtest, vaultwarden, wireguard, gluetun) becomes a generic hook
dispatch: an app needing computed (non-CFG) compose tags ships
containers/<app>/scripts/<app>_compose_tags.sh defining appSetupComposeTags_<app>
(live-sourced by the container scan, called with the compose path; reads
host_setup/public_ip_v4/CFG_* from scope). Same declare -F pattern as the tool /
update-specifics / webui-refresh hooks.
- 7 per-app hook files added; central ladder replaced by the dispatch.
- The generic gluetun network-mode block stays (any app may route through gluetun);
tagsProcessorGluetunForwardedPorts stays central (hook + network-mode both use it).
- Regenerate arrays (hooks live under containers/, not arrayed).
Verified with stubs: each hook emits exactly the tags the old branch did
(pihole REV_SERVER, nextcloud trusted-domains, gluetun VPN set + forwarded ports,
etc.); apps without a hook are a clean no-op.

Move scripts/webui/data/generators/apps/webui_gluetun_providers.sh ->
containers/gluetun/scripts/gluetun_providers.sh and replace the gluetun-specific
gated call in webui_updater.sh with a generic per-app loop: an installed app may
define appWebuiRefresh_<app> (in its scripts/) for data it wants refreshed on
every WebUI update. gluetun provides appWebuiRefresh_gluetun (a thin wrapper over
webuiGenerateGluetunProviders).
- No gluetun-specific code remains in central WebUI code — it's a true drop-in.
- Install gate preserved + generalized: the loop iterates the manager-owned
install templates (listable) and tests each app's live compose directly (works
without list perm on the container-user data dir), so non-users never pay for it.
- webuiGenerateGluetunProviders keeps its name (still called by the installer and
the gluetun_refresh_providers tool); now sourced via the container scan.
- Regenerate arrays (generator drops out of files_webui).
Loop verified with stubs: only installed apps with a defined hook fire; apps
without a hook are skipped; nothing fires when nothing's installed.

Replace the central app-name if-ladder in app_update_specifics.sh with a generic
dispatcher: each app ships containers/<app>/scripts/<app>_update_specifics.sh
defining appUpdateSpecifics_<app> (live-sourced by the container scan, dispatched
by `declare -F` — same pattern as tools). A hook may set shouldrestart=true. Apps
with no specifics ship no hook.
- Move the adguard/pihole (DNS updater), dashy (conf refresh), focalboard (nobody
ownership + restart), and libreportal (webui regen) branches to per-app hooks.
- Move scripts/gluetun/gluetun_route_apps.sh -> containers/gluetun/scripts/
(scripts/gluetun/ removed).
- Move scripts/install/install_crowdsec.sh -> containers/crowdsec/scripts/
crowdsec_install_host.sh; fix the path note in crowdsec.sh.
- Regenerate arrays (moved files drop out; the per-app files are container-scanned,
not arrayed).
Dispatch verified with stubs: adguard/pihole/dashy/focalboard/libreportal behave
identically to the old ladder (incl. shouldrestart propagation), apps without a
hook are a clean no-op. The CLI itself had no per-app branches — app-specific CLI
is already the (now fully modular) tools system.

Each app now carries everything under containers/<app>/: Tools-tab actions in
tools/ (declaration <app>.tools.json + function <app>_<tool_id>.sh) and logic
helpers in scripts/ (e.g. <app>_auth.sh). The container scan live-sources every
.sh under the app (maxdepth 3, prunes only resources/) and webui_tools.sh
auto-merges the .tools.json, so an app is a true drop-in — no central edit, no
array regen.
- Empty the central webui_tools.sh heredoc; all 34 tools across 11 apps now
come from per-app declarations (verified byte-identical to the old output).
- Retire the orphaned mattermost tool scripts to scripts/unused (there is no
containers/mattermost; its install fn already lived in unused).
- Update the dispatch comment/error path, the auth-adapter doc, and
DEVELOPMENT.md to the new convention.
- Regenerate static arrays (files_app.sh no longer lists app/containers/*).

Every backup-scope app now carries CFG_<APP>_BACKUP_STRATEGY=auto, so the
Backup Strategy dropdown appears in each app's Advanced tab — not just the
DB apps.
To keep it honest, the 'live' option is hidden where it isn't safe:
- apps.json generator emits backup_live_capable per app (from compose backup
labels: a dumpable DB, or a live-safe marker).
- apps-manager filters the live option out of the strategy select when the
current app isn't live-capable, so apps like gitea/focalboard (a DB we don't
yet dump) never offer it.

The static per-app CFG_<APP>_HOST_NAME is gone. host_setup (the app's
canonical FQDN, feeding the legacy single DOMAINSUBNAME_DATA used by app env
vars, the app URL and trusted-domains) is now derived from the app's primary
Traefik port's subdomain: first recommended port, else first Traefik port;
@/root -> apex, set -> sub.domain, empty -> app-name. Removes HOST_NAME from
all app configs, the config-form field mapping (Hostname), the dead
headscale stub, and wireguard.sh (now uses host_setup). Completes the move to
dynamic per-port subdomain routing.
