"Cloud" clashed with the project's anti-surveillance ethos and misdescribed the service (it deliberately holds no plaintext). "Connect" reflects what it actually does — reach and protect your self-hosted apps without us holding your data.

# 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](LICENSE)**.
|
|
Self-host it and you get **everything** — every feature, no paywalls, no
|
|
telemetry. See [our Promise](PROMISE.md) 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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://gitea.scottwebstar.co.uk/Webstar/LibrePortal.git
|
|
cd LibrePortal
|
|
./init.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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](PROMISE.md) 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](https://gitlab.com/bmcgonag/docker_installs).
|
|
From that seed it grew start to finish — refined, extended, and refactored
|
|
into the platform it is today.
