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.

MoneyApp
Self-hosted money management for one or more users in a household. Recurring rules, projected ledger, budgets, savings goals + compound-interest calculator, and a 12-month forecast with what-if sliders.
Stack: Next.js 15 + SQLite (Drizzle ORM) + Auth.js. Runs as a single Docker container.
Requirements
- Docker 20.10+ with Compose v2 (
docker compose versionshould print v2.x or v5.x) - Port 3000 free on the host
Install
# 1. From inside the MoneyApp folder, create the environment file
cp .env.example .env
# 2. Edit .env and set AUTH_SECRET to a random 32-byte string.
# Generate one with:
echo "AUTH_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)" >> .env
# 3. Build and start
docker compose up -d --build
The first build takes 3-5 minutes (it compiles better-sqlite3 natively and runs next build inside the container). Subsequent starts are instant.
Open http://localhost:3000 and sign up. The first account becomes the household owner.
Daily commands
| What | Command |
|---|---|
| Start | docker compose up -d |
| Stop | docker compose down (data preserved) |
| Logs | docker compose logs -f |
| Restart after pulling new code | docker compose up -d --build |
| Shell inside container | docker compose exec moneyapp sh |
Updating
Replace the source folder with the new version (keep your .env and the moneyapp-data Docker volume), then:
docker compose up -d --build
Migrations run automatically on container start.
Backup
The entire database is one SQLite file at /data/moneyapp.db inside the container, mounted from the named volume moneyapp-data.
# Snapshot
docker compose exec moneyapp sh -c 'cat /data/moneyapp.db' > backup-$(date +%F).db
# Restore (with the app stopped)
docker compose down
docker run --rm -v moneyapp_moneyapp-data:/data -v "$PWD":/host alpine \
sh -c 'cp /host/backup-2026-05-07.db /data/moneyapp.db'
docker compose up -d
Accessing from other devices on the LAN
By default the container listens on 0.0.0.0:3000, so from the same network just use the host's IP: http://<host-ip>:3000. For HTTPS or remote access, put a reverse proxy (Caddy, Traefik, nginx) in front.
If you do put it behind a domain, update AUTH_URL in .env to the public URL — Auth.js uses it to construct callback URLs.
Troubleshooting
set AUTH_SECRET in .envonup— you skipped step 2 above. Create.envand setAUTH_SECRET.- Port 3000 already in use — stop whatever else is on 3000, or change the host-side port in
docker-compose.yml(e.g."3001:3000"). - Database looks empty after a rebuild — that means the volume was removed.
docker compose downkeeps it;docker compose down -vdeletes it. Restore from a backup if needed.

The deployment files stay at the root so it's clear what the installer interacts with. Everything inside app/ is the application itself — the Dockerfile copies it in during the build.
