Gitea Actions is enabled on the repo (1.23.8, has_actions true), and the guard
was run-on-demand until now — which is the same weakness it exists to fix: a
check nobody is obliged to run does not stop a regression landing.
.gitea/workflows rather than .github/workflows: Gitea reads the former first and
the only remote is Gitea.
The image is pinned to node:22-bookworm-slim rather than left to whatever the
runner's label maps to. The guard needs BOTH runtimes — node to run the real
formatter, python3 to drive it — and no stock runner image reliably has the
pair. That image ships node and no python3, so python3 is installed explicitly;
if the base image ever changes, that step fails visibly instead of the script's
shebang reporting a bare "not found".
No `paths` filter. The job is seconds once the image is cached, and a filter
narrow enough to be worth having is also narrow enough to miss the case it was
added for.
Verified by running the workflow's exact steps against a clean clone in that
image: it passes as committed, and injecting an unnamed command
(`libreportal app clone {appName}`) fails the job with the offending command
named and the file to edit.
Worth recording, since it nearly produced a wrong conclusion: scripts/dev is
export-ignore in .gitattributes, so `git archive` omits the guard entirely. A
first test built its fixture that way and the script appeared to be missing.
Checkout is a clone, not an archive, so CI does get it — the export-ignore only
keeps it out of release tarballs, which is what it is for.

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.
