CFG_DOCKER_MANAGER_USER / installDockerManagerUser was a chrooted SFTP file-access user — unrelated to the LibrePortal control-plane manager (sudo_user_name), and the source of the 'two managers' confusion. It was permanently-off dead code: the gate CFG_DOCKER_MANAGER_ENABLED and the CFG_DOCKER_MANAGER_USER/_PASS keys are defined in no config template, so it never ran. Its SSH-key-management sibling (unused/ssh_manager.sh) was already retired; admin host SSH access is handled by the current /ssh page + scripts/ssh/host_access.sh. Move install_user_manager.sh / uninstall_user_manager.sh / check_manager.sh to scripts/unused/manager/ (recoverable, matches the graveyard convention — not deleted, in case the SFTP-user idea is rebuilt cleanly later), drop the two call sites (start_preinstall.sh, check_requirements.sh), regenerate the arrays.

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
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 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.
