An offline trivy install crash-looped (server FATALs when it can't fetch the vuln DB), and on rootless docker the restart storm churned the shared network's port-forwarder until the WebUI's own published host port was torn down — the WebUI stayed healthy INSIDE its container but was unreachable from the host, with nothing detecting or healing it. Three fixes, in the house self-healing style (mirrors the network-drift trio): 1. Control-plane health checker wired into the existing task-processor idle poll (maybeRegenPoll), no new daemon. dockerHealthScan (read-only) detects daemon down, a WebUI running-but-host-port-unreachable (the port-forward corruption), and crash-looping containers. webuiSystemHealthCheck writes frontend/data/system/health_status.json + self-dispatches a heal — the user can't click a button on a dead WebUI, so the poll drives the fix. Frontend health-notifier surfaces a topbar badge + dashboard banner + details panel. 2. Failure cap, enforced centrally by dockerHealthHeal (task-gated): stops crash-loopers (removing the churn), restarts the WebUI to re-publish a lost port forward, and — only if that fails — recycles the rootless daemon and restarts the core container. Caps every app immediately, no template churn. 3. Trivy no longer crash-loops offline: the server runs in a shell retry-loop so the container stays Up and quietly retries on a backoff instead of exiting FATAL. Verified: container stays Up across repeated DB-download failures. Core WebUI compose gains restart: unless-stopped so it self-recovers after a reboot / daemon recycle instead of staying down.

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.
