Same treatment the updater buttons got. Confirming a backup produced a toast and a blind 1.5-second refresh; the tile's "Back up" pill stayed armed and nothing said work was happening. Restore and Delete on a snapshot row behaved the same. runTask now derives the SUBJECTS a command holds from the command itself: an app backup busies that app's tile, `backup system` the system tile, and `backup all` busies every tile at once — one task, honest feedback everywhere it acts. Restore and delete also parse the exact snapshot out of the command, so only the clicked row's button spins while the app's other snapshot buttons merely disable: the spinner marks the action running, not the ones waiting on it. Starting a second task on a busy subject is refused with a notice — a second restore of the same app queued behind the first is a footgun, not a feature. The face survives re-renders: the refresh coordinator repaints this page on every task event, so the tile and row renderers consult the busy map rather than relying on the instant DOM patch alone. Cleared on the task's terminal state, before the coordinator's debounced repaint lands, so that repaint shows the finished state. The leak backstop is two hours — a big app's backup is legitimately slow. Verified end to end against the live install with two real backups: the pill flips to "Backing up…" (disabled, spinner) in the same tick as the confirm click, holds through the run, and restores within a second of the task completing, with the busy map empty. Subject derivation unit-tested across all five command shapes, including `backup all` fanning out to every tile and snapshot-level targeting for restore and delete. Reuses the updater's .btn-spin — both stylesheets are global, so busy looks the same everywhere in the app. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
Contributing
PRs welcome — see CONTRIBUTING.md. We use a lightweight
DCO sign-off (git commit -s), no CLA.
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.
