Phase 2 and 4 of docs/roadmap/storage-locations.md. Apps can now be placed on a location and moved between them. CFG_<APP>_STORAGE lands in all 37 app templates, holding a location NAME rather than a path: names survive a migrate to a host with different disks, paths do not. The 11 infrastructure apps that other apps reach by literal path (traefik, prometheus, grafana, adguard, gluetun, crowdsec, headscale, dashy, pihole, unbound, wireguard) are pinned. libreportal itself never gets the key — it is pinned structurally by webuiDir. Pinning needed no second config key. "Pinned" is not a fact about a value, it is a statement about whether the field may be edited, so it goes in the comment beside **ADVANCED** and **DEV** as **READONLY**, and the field factory renders those disabled. That marker earns its keep beyond this feature: derived fields already warned in prose that editing them does nothing (crowdsec.config:72) next to a perfectly editable input. storage_app_config.sh keeps the comment honest — it carries the resolved path for hand-recovery and regenerates the dropdown from the registry, but only writes when something actually changed, since the app .config is user-editable and lives in the container-owned tree. app move stops the app (a live copy of a running Postgres is a corrupt copy), snapshots it, copies, verifies, and only then removes the source. The copy runs in libreportal-ownership because it must: app data holds rootless sub-UID files the manager can neither read nor recreate. Verified against two real ext4 filesystems that a cross-device move preserves uid 231141 and the payload, and that the source survives every refusal path — unregistered destination, the WebUI app, a traversal in the app name, and an occupied destination. Task titles registered in both tables, with a specific rule so a move renders as "Nextcloud - Move to bigdisk" rather than the generic fallback dropping the destination. lp-task-names could not be run to confirm — it borrows the WebUI container's node and no containers are running.

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.
