# LibrePortal system footprint (outside the data roots) LibrePortal's own data lives in **three independently-relocatable roots**, chosen at install (defaults shown) and owned by exactly one principal each: | Root (default) | Owner | Holds | |---|---|---| | `/libreportal-system` | the manager user | configs, logs, the install tree, the database, ssl/ssh | | `/libreportal-containers` | the container user | live app data (one dir per app) | | `/libreportal-backups` | the container user | backup repositories | This file catalogues the few things LibrePortal must place **outside** those roots to integrate with the host. The OS dictates where most of these live — sudoers, systemd units, sysctl, and `$PATH` entries can only be read from their fixed locations, so they can't sit inside a relocatable root. What we control, we keep together in **`/usr/local/lib/libreportal/`**; everything else is named `libreportal*` so the whole footprint is greppable and removable. > The three roots **and** the manager username are chosen at install and **baked** > into the helpers / systemd unit / CLI wrapper below (sed placeholders, like the > manager name has always been) — never read at runtime from a manager-writable > config. That immutability is the privilege boundary: a root helper can't be > redirected at, say, `/etc` by editing config. This footprint itself stays at > **fixed** paths by design; only the data roots relocate. ## Executables — `/usr/local/lib/libreportal/` (root:root, our own dir) | File | Owner | Purpose | |------|-------|---------| | `libreportal` | root | the CLI wrapper (symlinked onto `$PATH`, see below) | | `uninstall.sh` | root | the uninstaller (symlinked onto `$PATH` as `libreportal-uninstall`) | | `libreportal-ownership` | root | reconcile the three-root ownership model | | `libreportal-dns` | root | edit `/etc/resolv.conf` (nameservers) | | `libreportal-ssh-access` | root | manage admin `authorized_keys` + sshd `PasswordAuthentication` | | `libreportal-socket` | root | docker-socket read perms (type switcher) | | `libreportal-svc` | root | generate/install the task-processor systemd unit | | `libreportal-bininstall` | root | install the restic/kopia backup-engine binaries | | `libreportal-appcfg` | root | rewrite AdGuard/CrowdSec/ownCloud config files | These are the scoped-sudoers trust boundary: root-owned in a root-owned dir, so the manager can `sudo` them but can't modify them. Each bakes the three roots + the manager name at install. Source of truth: `scripts/system/` in the repo; installed by `init.sh` → `initRootHelpers` (re-installed only on a reinstall, not by the quick-deploy). ## OS-mandated locations (must live where the OS reads them) | Path | Owner | Purpose | |------|-------|---------| | `/usr/local/bin/libreportal` | root | **symlink** → `/usr/local/lib/libreportal/libreportal` (puts the CLI on `$PATH`) | | `/usr/local/bin/libreportal-uninstall` | root | **symlink** → `/usr/local/lib/libreportal/uninstall.sh` (location-agnostic uninstall command) | | `/etc/sudoers.d/` | root | scoped least-privilege grant for the manager (drop-in named after the manager user) | | `/etc/systemd/system/libreportal.service` | root | the task-processor service (`User=`; bakes the roots as `Environment=LP_*_DIR`) | | `/etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-hardening.conf` | root | kernel LPE-surface hardening | | `/etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-rootless.conf` | root | rootless sysctl settings + "rootless configured" marker | ## Third-party tools we install (not ours, conventional home) `/usr/local/bin/{restic,kopia,ufw-docker,docker-compose}` — installed on demand (restic/kopia via the `libreportal-bininstall` helper). `/usr/local/bin` is the correct home for these; left under their own names. ## System users The **manager** (default `libreportal`, configurable via `--manager-user=` / `LP_MANAGER_USER`) and the **container user** (default `dockerinstall`, from `CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_USER`) — each with a home under `/home/`. The rootless daemon config lives at `~/.config/docker/daemon.json`. ## Uninstall sketch `init.sh uninstall` does all of this; the sketch (with default roots/manager): ``` sudo systemctl disable --now libreportal.service sudo rm -f /etc/systemd/system/libreportal.service /etc/sudoers.d/libreportal sudo rm -f /etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-*.conf sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libreportal /usr/local/bin/libreportal /usr/local/bin/libreportal-uninstall sudo rm -rf /libreportal-system /libreportal-containers /libreportal-backups # optional: the backup-engine binaries and the two users ```
