Four rules rendered their bubble with `content: attr(title)` while leaving the title attribute in place, so the browser drew its native tooltip over the styled one — two bubbles, offset, one of them unthemed. That is the overlap. setup-wizard.css already had it right with attr(data-tip). Everything else now matches: the text moved to data-tip, which the browser does not render, and aria-label carries it for assistive tech. 24 emitters migrated across 9 files, including two that assign the text at runtime — those set both attributes so neither goes stale. The same sweep found the bubble was defined twice globally. core/forms/css had the plain one; port-manager.css carried a nicer bordered, wrapping version commented "Enhanced tooltips for main config help icons" — which never applied to them, because forms.css loads afterwards at equal specificity and won. So every help icon outside the port manager had been getting the plain bubble, with `white-space: nowrap` and no max-width: a sentence-length tooltip rendered as one unbroken line running past its own background. The wrapping version is now the one in forms.css, the shadowed copy is gone, and the .port-manager-scoped rule stays. Verified on Bookstack's config page: 26 help icons, none carrying a title, all carrying data-tip, and hovering one flips ::after content from `none` to the text with a single themed bubble on screen. No port-descriptor tooltip, deliberately. PORT_N fields are replaced at runtime by the port manager, whose hidePortFieldLabels() sets the field's help icon to display:none — anything put there is unreachable, confirmed in the DOM. The format is already documented column by column by the port manager's own 13 help icons, several in more detail than a single descriptor string could manage.
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.
