Follow-up to fd0a0fd, which put a "Custom path…" entry in the drive dropdown. That was the wrong shape: the dropdown answers "which disk", and an entry meaning "actually, let me type a directory" sitting in the same list makes typing one look like one of the normal answers. Picking a disk is the whole question for most people. The dropdown now offers drives and nothing else. Exact paths are a section under it, advanced only — the same reason Metrics is advanced-only, since the directory under a chosen drive is operator detail and the beginner path deliberately does not get a wall of that. Beginners get the drive's default, which is what they would have typed anyway. Each field is prefilled from the selected drive and follows it when the drive changes, so a path belonging to the old drive is never left behind. The LibrePortal row appears only for a non-primary drive: relocating it onto the drive it already sits on is not a move. storageSystemChoice stays a drive, and the new storageSystemTarget holds the relocate path. collectStorage() registers what the dropdowns point at, and a system directory is not an app-data location — registering .../libreportal-system as one would be wrong. Asserted directly. The validator skips an untouched default: that is whatever the install already uses, and second-guessing it would reject a legitimate layout. lp-storage-custom-test -> lp-storage-step-test, and it no longer waits for a drive to happen to be unplugged: it injects an unmounted candidate and re-renders, so the offline assertions run everywhere rather than only on a machine where ambient state obliges. That injection had its own trap worth recording — renderStorage() rebuilds the selects, so a reference held across it points at a detached node and setting .value on it succeeds while changing nothing. Three assertions passed against a control no longer in the page. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
LibrePortal
Your own private corner of the internet — free, open, and yours.
LibrePortal is a self-hosted platform for running the apps you rely on, on your own server: one-click installs, a reverse proxy with automatic SSL, rootless Docker, optional VPN routing, and a clean web dashboard to manage it all.
⚠️ v0.1.0 — early days. Expect rough edges while things settle.
Why LibrePortal
Too many services today treat your data as theirs to take — quietly overstepping boundaries that should never have been crossed. LibrePortal grew out of frustration with that: it's a way to run the apps you depend on on your own server, where your data stays yours. Privacy here isn't a feature to toggle — it's the whole point.
Free & open — forever
The entire platform is free software under the GNU AGPLv3. Self-host it and you get everything — every feature, no paywalls, no telemetry. See our Promise for exactly what that means.
What you get
- 📦 One-click self-hosted apps (Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, Gitea, …)
- 🔀 Traefik reverse proxy + automatic Let's Encrypt SSL
- 🔒 Rootless Docker, CrowdSec, sane security defaults
- 🛡️ Optional VPN routing (gluetun) for any app
- 🖥️ A web dashboard to install, configure, back up, and monitor everything
Quick start
curl -fsSL https://get.libreportal.org/install.sh | sudo bash
This installs a versioned, checksum-verified release (Debian/Ubuntu, root). Put
data on separate disks with --system-dir= / --containers-dir= / --backups-dir=.
The
get.libreportal.orghost is still being set up — until it's live, build a release and install from it locally (see the docs below).
Documentation
- docs/guide/install-and-use.md — install, place data on separate disks/drives, update, back up, uninstall.
- docs/contributing/development.md — run a dev copy, cut stable/edge releases, and test them before publishing.
LibrePortal Connect (optional)
Self-hosting is free and complete. If you'd rather not fiddle with the tricky parts — like reaching your server from your phone, or keeping off-site backups — LibrePortal Connect will handle them for you. Here's the catch that makes us different: we work like a courier carrying a sealed box. We move your data between your devices and store backup copies, but it stays locked and you hold the only key — we can't open it, and we never run your apps for you. Everything we offer, you can also set up yourself for free. Our Promise spells out exactly where that line sits.

Acknowledgments
LibrePortal has been built from scratch since 2023. Its spark of inspiration
was a small installer script from Brian McGonagill (OpenSourceIsAwesome):
gitlab.com/bmcgonag/docker_installs.
From that seed it grew start to finish — refined, extended, and refactored
into the platform it is today.
