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).

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 borg/restic/kopia engines all dropped to the dedicated backup user
via scattered 'sudo -E -u $docker_install_user'. Centralize that into a
single runBackupOp helper so the backup subsystem has one audit point and
the scoped sudoers needs only the (dockerinstall) drop rule.
Also:
- owncloud config heredoc tees -> runSystem (container-UID file)
- webui_display_logins: fix the broken 'command -v sudo sqlite3' guard
to 'command -v sqlite3' (body already runs sqlite3 via runInstallOp)

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.

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.

- New runInstallOp helper for manager install-dir/template ops (rooted:
sudo; rootless: run as the current manager user, which owns the tree).
- adguard.sh, traefik.sh: container-config sed -> runFileOp.
- crowdsec.sh: host crowdsec systemctl/apt-get -> runSystem.
- dashy_update_conf.sh: conf-file mkdir/chown/md5sum/tee -> runFileOp/
runFileWrite; docker ps/restart -> dockerCommandRun.
Deferred (cross-owner copy / temp-file across /tmp<->/docker, need rootless
env to bridge correctly): owncloud_setup_config.sh, adguard_auth.sh.

Add -a/--append to runFileWrite so the pervasive /docker/logs log-append
idiom (`… | sudo tee -a $logs_dir/$docker_log_file`) routes through the
mode-aware helper instead of raw sudo.
Convert scripts/config/docker/docker_config_to_container.sh fully: all
ops target /docker app config + logs (data-plane), so md5sum/grep/chmod/
cmp/editor -> runFileOp and the log-appends -> runFileWrite -a.
Byte-identical in rooted.

Give dockerCommandRunInstallUser an --argv mode that execs arguments
verbatim (sudo -u <user> env ... "$@") instead of bash -c "$*", and
point runFileOp at it. The old $*+bash -c re-parse silently mangled
backslashes/quotes in args — e.g. sed scripts (\1, \( become 1, ( ) and
the sqlite3 .backup arg — so rootless data-plane ops with regex were
broken. Verified: the WG_DEFAULT_DNS sed now applies correctly as the
install user. All existing runFileOp callers pass plain commands, so the
switch is safe (and fixes the latent sqlite3 case).
Convert scripts/network/dns/setup_dns.sh: /etc/resolv.conf edits and
ping -> runSystem; the WG_DEFAULT_DNS compose-file sed -> runFileOp.
Byte-identical in rooted; correct in rootless.

Single place that decides how a privileged op runs by Docker mode:
- runFileOp / runFileWrite: /docker data-plane ops — rooted uses sudo (identical
to today), rootless runs as the unprivileged install user (no root).
- runSystem: genuine system-admin ops, sudo in both modes, funnelled here so it
can later be confined to a scoped sudoers allowlist.
Call sites converted to these are byte-for-byte unchanged under rooted, so
existing/live boxes can't regress; rootless gets the de-privileged path.
