Swept the field mappings after the Updates one. Removed where the tooltip
carried no information the label did not already give:
PORT_1..20 "Port N for this application" label: "Port N"
PORTS "Port configuration for the label: "Port Configuration"
application"
CATEGORY "The category this application label: "Category"
belongs to"
THEME "Visual theme for the application" label: "Theme"
...PRIVATE_KEY "WireGuard private key" label: "WireGuard Private Key"
Deliberately kept several the crude word-overlap check also flagged, because
they earn their place: DOMAIN says the value is a number and why, HEADSCALE and
COMPOSE_FILE carry a requirement and a warning, VPN_TYPE says it depends on the
chosen provider, and DESCRIPTION/LONG_DESCRIPTION distinguish brief from
detailed — which is the only thing separating that pair on screen.
config-form.js already guards on the field having a tooltip, so a field without
one renders no help icon rather than an empty bubble. Confirmed on Bookstack's
config page: 25 icons left, none with an empty or "undefined" title, and no
stray "undefined" in the body text. Regenerated the served JSON too — 145 fields
before and after, 135 tooltips down to 111, and no field changed in any other way.
Worth a look separately: PORT_N holds the full pipe-delimited port descriptor,
not a port number, so "Port 1 for this application" was mildly misleading as
well as redundant. A tooltip explaining that format would be an improvement
rather than a deletion.
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.
