Phase 0 of docs/roadmap/storage-locations.md — the resolver layer. No
behaviour change yet: with no registry present, every function here
returns exactly what the old single-root code did, which is what makes
the ~200-site sweep that follows safe to land incrementally.
primaryRoot / webuiDir the install-time root, and the one tree that
never moves
storageRoots every registered root, primary first
storageRootAvailable marker present == drive mounted
pathIsContainerData replaces the `== "$containers_dir"*` idiom
that picks manager vs container-user elevation
appDir / appDirSlash THE resolver, memoised
storageLocationPath/Name name <-> path, via the root-owned registry
storageIndexGet/Set app -> location cache
appDir resolves discovery-first: whichever root actually holds
<slug>/<slug>.config wins, so a hand-move or half-finished migration
self-heals rather than corrupting.
The index exists because of a bug the unit test caught immediately.
Discovery cannot see an unmounted disk, so an installed app on an
unplugged drive looked identical to a brand-new app — and the fallback
handed back the PRIMARY root. Docker would then have created the bind
mounts there and booted the app empty on the wrong disk, which is the
precise failure the availability design exists to prevent. The index is
manager-owned (deliberately not on the removable disk: it must be
readable exactly when that disk is absent), consulted only when the scan
comes up empty, and rewritten by every successful scan so the disk stays
authoritative whenever it is actually present.
Availability is gated in appDir alone rather than at each caller: every
site reaches it by construction. It returns non-zero AND prints an
unusable sentinel path, so the many callers that will never check $?
still fail loudly on something harmless.
scripts/dev/lp-storage-test covers all of it against a throwaway tree.

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.

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).
