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

Add webui_system_metrics.sh, run each minute from webuiSystemUpdate:
- whole-server snapshot (metrics.json): CPU% + load, memory + swap,
per-mount disk + inodes, network rx/tx rate, docker summary
- capped ring buffer (metrics_history.json, 24h default) for trend charts
- per-app docker stats grouped by compose project (metrics_apps.json)
plus a short per-app history (metrics_apps_history.json) for sparklines
CPU% and network rate use stateful deltas stashed beside the JSON; all
host metrics read from /proc and docker via runFileOp, so it works rootless.

The apps SQLite DB ($docker_dir/$db_file) is owned by the manager user, so
read/write it AS the manager via runInstallOp instead of sudo (root). 48 call
sites across 28 scripts. In rooted this drops root->manager (correct owner);
in rootless it's the manager too (using runFileOp/dockerinstall here was the
'unable to open database' bug). The broken 'command -v sudo sqlite3' check
lines are left untouched (separate pre-existing issue).

The remaining WebUI generators built JSON into a temp file inside the
output dir then placed it with mv/sudo mv + a createTouch that can't re-own,
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
(services/config/tools/app_status/gluetun/config_patch), categories
(app/config-categories/field-mappings), config (configs.json) and system
(info/memory/disk/update). The logs file is handled by the now mode-aware
createFolders + createTouch.

The backup + ssh generators created their frontend/data dirs via plain/sudo
mkdir and wrote files via sudo tee/mv (root-owned), then called createTouch
(dockerinstall) which can't re-own a root file — so every write hit
'touch: Permission denied' in rootless and left root-owned data the
dockerinstall container/generators can't rewrite. Convert dir creation to
runFileOp mkdir and file writes to runFileWrite (both run as the container
owner: dockerinstall in rootless, manager in rooted), dropping the
temp/mv/createTouch dance. Also make the createFolders chokepoint mode-aware
(containers/ paths created via runFileOp) so it mirrors createTouch.

Three docker calls ran the binary directly (two plain, one sudo), so in
rootless they hit /var/run/docker.sock (the rooted socket, absent) and
printed 'Cannot connect to the Docker daemon' — the WebUI-image requirement
check, the system-disk WebUI generator (docker system df), and the
app-install fallback (docker ps). Route all three through runFileOp, which in
rootless runs as the docker install user with DOCKER_HOST set and is
argv-safe for --format, and in rooted runs as the manager via the docker
group.

Reads files the backup user can't see from the host (container-owned, e.g.
Nextcloud's www-data data dir) by streaming them out THROUGH the container
(docker exec tar) — no host root, no host read perms, works rooted + rootless.
Extracts to staging as plain files so restic keeps full dedup + per-file
restore (not a piped tar blob); the live path is excluded from the snapshot.
Restore streams the staging copy back through a throwaway in-namespace
container that recreates the tree with the app's uid:gid.
Declared via a libreportal.backup.files compose label; Nextcloud (html, 33:33)
is the first to use it. Live capture failure falls back to stop-snapshot-start.

Fresh, on-demand inbound SSH-access management for the host (replaces the old
maze). scripts/ssh/host_access.sh manages the install user's authorized_keys —
add a pasted public key (validated), list, remove — and toggles sshd password
login behind a lockout guard (won't disable passwords with no key; won't drop
the last key while passwords are off; sshd -t before reload, with backup).
New 'ssh' CLI category (status/key-add/key-remove/password-auth/generate) and
a webuiGenerateSshAccess snapshot (data/ssh/access.json: user, password_auth,
authorized keys as type+fingerprint+comment — public only) wired into the
regen chain. Nothing runs automatically; only explicit admin actions change
anything. WebUI page next.

Expose the existing location_ssh.sh key store through the backup CLI:
'backup location ssh-key-set|ssh-key-generate|ssh-key-public|ssh-key-delete <idx>'
(the WebUI runs these as tasks). The locations generator now emits
ssh_key_exists + ssh_public_key (public key only — the private key never
leaves the per-location ssh.key file), so the editor can show the key state.
Also fix the stale SSH_AUTH label (~/.ssh/id_rsa -> managed per-location key).

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.

Adds CFG_<APP>_BACKUP_STRATEGY (default auto) so an app's backup strategy can
be overridden from its Advanced config tab, taking precedence over the global
default. Added to the 10 live-capable apps, so the dropdown's 'live' option only
appears where it actually works.
- backupResolveStrategy now checks the per-app override before the global value.
- backupAppLiveCapable / backupAppStrategyOptions expose capability + the valid
option set; predicate helpers hardened with explicit returns so they behave
identically with or without shell errexit.
- BACKUP_STRATEGY field mapping (select, advanced) renders the dropdown.

The per-type field map lived hardcoded in backup-page.js. Add a
webuiGenerateBackupSchema generator that emits the type -> ordered field list
to data/backup/generated/schema.json (wired into the backup regen chain and
the CLI 'webui generate backup'). The editor fetches it into this.locSchema
and reads it via locFieldsForType; BACKUP_LOC_FIELDS_BY_TYPE stays only as a
fallback if the fetch fails.
Keeps the data-in-generators pattern consistent — the schema now has one
backend source of truth. The dynamic show/hide behaviors (SSH auth, path
mode, engine filtering) remain frontend logic by nature.

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.

The config generator only scanned flat per-category files, so the dynamic
CFG_BACKUP_LOC_N_* keys carried no titles/descriptions/options — the Locations
editor had to hardcode that metadata in backup-page.js. Add a pass that
descends into configs/backup/locations/<n>/location.config and emits each key
(value/title/description/options) into the config map, plus an "advanced"
flag parsed from a **ADVANCED** token in the field comment (stripped from the
user-facing description).
These keys use subcategory "backup_locations", which isn't in any category's
subcategory_order, so the generic /config page ignores them — only the custom
Locations editor consumes them. URI, SSH port, and append-only are marked
advanced. Verified: configs.json stays valid JSON and /config subcategories
are unchanged.

The WebUI data snapshots (locations.json, dashboard.json, snapshots_*.json,
etc.) are regenerated on every wizard/config change. Each file emitted two
extra success lines via createTouch — "Touching <file>" and "Updating
<file> with <user> ownership" — which spammed the output around the genuinely
useful "... JSON regenerated" line.
Add an optional "silent" flag to createTouch (third arg; default keeps the
existing loud behaviour for interactive install flows) and pass it from every
WebUI data generator/task. Touch + chown still run; only the logging is
suppressed for these background regenerations.

Application backups were driven by one crontab entry per app, each offset by
id * CFG_BACKUP_CRONTAB_APP_INTERVAL minutes. That minute offset is written
straight into cron's 0-59 minute field, so past ~20 apps it overflowed into
an invalid entry that silently never fired, and the fixed spacing could not
serialize backups that ran longer than the gap.
Replace it with a single daily entry (`libreportal backup scheduled`) that
enqueues a backup task per enabled app. The existing systemd task processor
drains them serially — no minute overflow, real serialization, and backups
are now visible/cancellable in the Tasks UI. Per-app enable is read from
CFG_<APP>_BACKUP at schedule time instead of being mirrored into crontab.
Removes the stagger machinery (timing/setup/check/remove scripts), the
now-unused cron_jobs table + insert, and the CFG_BACKUP_CRONTAB_APP_INTERVAL
config knob and its WebUI field.

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.

HOST_NAME was read but ignored — the FQDN was built from app_name, so 8
apps (vault, cloud, search, notes, social, meet, board, bookmark) routed at
the wrong host and Traefik disagreed with DNS. Build host_setup from
HOST_NAME (falling back to app_name); treat HOST_NAME="@"/"root" as the
domain apex (root-of-domain hosting, previously impossible). Document @ in
the Hostname field tooltip.

Surface when LibrePortal is behind upstream and let users update from the
WebUI, reusing the proven git-update path instead of reinventing it.
Detection (host): webuiSystemUpdateCheck writes
frontend/data/system/update_status.json from a throttled git fetch +
behind-count + VERSION compare, off the existing per-minute
`webui generate system` cron. A new /VERSION file is the canonical version.
Display (frontend): update-notifier.js/.css render a global topbar badge
(every page) and a dashboard banner (prominent when behind, subtle "up to
date" with a manual check otherwise), plus a details panel.
Actions go through the task pipeline:
- `libreportal update apply` -> webuiRunUpdate (non-interactive: guards,
forced check, gitPerformUpdate, then dockerInstallApp libreportal)
- `libreportal update check` -> forced recheck
gitFolderResetAndBackup's body is extracted into gitPerformUpdate (no exit)
so the WebUI path can reuse it; the interactive CLI flow is unchanged.
Detection JSON verified against the repo (up-to-date and behind cases).
webuiRunUpdate's re-clone + redeploy still needs validation on a live host.
The latest-version source is git for now and is the single swap point for
get.libreportal.org later — the JSON contract and frontend stay unchanged.
