Instance install (bugs found by running one end to end):
- The cloned compose kept the TYPE's tag namespace
(#LIBREPORTAL|BOOKSTACK_APP_KEY_1_TAG|...) while the config had been
re-namespaced to CFG_<SLUG>_*, so tagsProcessorAppConfigValues matched
nothing, the placeholders survived and the pre-start guard refused to
launch. Rewrite the tag names and *_DATA tokens too — narrowly, so an
app whose compose sets a real env var named after itself is untouched.
- Tools/hooks kept uppercase CFG_<TYPE>_ reads, so an instance
provisioned itself from the type's config and ignored its own values.
- Cloned hooks were never loaded: both loaders run at startup, before the
instance dir exists, so _appCallHook's `declare -F` found nothing and
every <slug>_install_* hook silently no-opped — for bookstack that is
the readiness probe and the admin bootstrap. Source the instance's own
scripts in-process, then regen arrays + manifest for later runs.
- bookstack's hook hardcoded the container name after `docker exec -e ...`
flags, where the rewriter can't see it, so an instance's admin bootstrap
ran against the BASE app's container — including a tinker DELETE of a
user. Target "$app_name" instead, and teach the rewriter the
container="<type>" assignment form used by auth adapters.
network_resources uniqueness:
UNIQUE(resource_type, resource_value) is right for 'ip' and 'port' but the
port-tag writer stores descriptive rows in the same table with INSERT OR
REPLACE, so every install DELETED the matching row from whichever app held
it. traefik_managed and url_accessible are booleans, so the whole table
could only ever hold one row of each. Observed live: installing a second
bookstack took all four traefik_managed/url_accessible rows from stoat and
bookstack, and removing that instance took the stolen rows with it.
Replace it with a partial unique index scoped to ip/port, and migrate
existing databases in place (SQLite can't drop a constraint, so the table
is rebuilt inside a transaction). The migration is invoked from
portUpdateComposeTags, not just databaseCreateTables — the latter only
runs from startPreInstall, which a working install never re-runs.
Verified: two bookstacks now hold port_tag_internal=80, traefik_managed
and url_accessible simultaneously; duplicate host ports and IPs are still
rejected; instance installs, serves HTTP 200, provisions its own admin in
its own database, and removes cleanly with no orphan rows.

instanceCreate re-namespaced the config KEYS (CFG_<TYPE>_* ->
CFG_<SLUG>_*) but left APP_NAME's VALUE at the type. installApp resolves
the app it operates on from CFG_<SLUG>_APP_NAME, so `instance create
bookstack fwtest` ran the entire install pipeline against the BASE app:
"Install bookstack", the base deployed dir, compose down/up on the
already-running base container, base DB row re-stamped — and the instance
never installed at all. Only the template dir was left behind.
Every base app ships APP_NAME == its own slug; stamp instances the same.
Instance install still does not complete after this: the cloned compose
keeps the type's tag namespace (#LIBREPORTAL|BOOKSTACK_APP_KEY_1_TAG|...)
while the config now defines CFG_<SLUG>_*, so the placeholders never
substitute and the pre-start guard refuses to launch. Fixing that is a
separate change to _instanceRewriteCompose.

Lets a *multi-instance-capable* app run as several fully isolated instances
on one box (e.g. two Bookstack/WordPress sites, or a "family" + "work"
Nextcloud) — distinct data, DB, subdomain, backups and update cadence.
Design: an instance is just another app. It gets its own slug (<type>_<id>),
its own CFG_<SLUG>_* namespace, deployed dir, DB row, IP/port allocation and
host, so the entire existing pipeline (scan, install, services, routing,
updater, backups) treats it like any app with zero changes. All
instance-specific rewriting is confined to a clone of the type's template;
the shipped template and the core engine are untouched.
Gating: opt-in per app via CFG_<TYPE>_MULTI_INSTANCE=true. Only Bookstack
carries it for now (the validated reference). The other 31 apps are
unaffected — the feature is invisible unless the flag is present.
- scripts/instance/instance_create.sh — clone + re-namespace config, rewrite
compose identity (container_name / Traefik routers / backup labels) and
per-app tools, set a hostname-safe subdomain (PORT field 10), then hand off
to dockerInstallApp. Plus instanceList / instanceRemove.
- libreportal instance create|remove|list — new CLI category; mutations route
through the task system (no new mutating API endpoint).
- WebUI: "instance of <type>" badge + a "New instance" card action on capable
apps, and a create modal (name + domain# + subdomain, live host preview)
that dispatches the standard task. Capability/instance-of read straight off
the already-exposed app config.
Known follow-ups (documented): flip the flag on more apps after a compose
identity check (Nextcloud next); per-app tools are best-effort isolated.
