The parser accepted five shapes. Three of them (9, 10, 11/12) differ only by trailing columns that have sane defaults, and those are worth keeping: 39 of the catalogue's descriptors stop at nine because they are non-Traefik ports — DNS, SMTP, WireGuard UDP — with no subdomain to state. A short row there is a complete row. The other two were different animals. The 8-column legacy layout has no login column and the 7-column one has no parent either, so they SHIFT every position rather than omitting a tail: whenever the length was misread, each field after the shift silently took its neighbour's value — a port's access type reading from its protocol, and so on. That is the same class of fault the word-splitting bug in this file just caused, and it is invisible when it happens. Nothing needs them. All 74 descriptors in the catalogue carry nine or more, as does every one on this install. So they are refused now, with a notice naming the offending key: a skipped port is visible, a mis-parsed one is not. Checked that skipping a row cannot misalign the parallel arrays — port_config_data and port_config_vars are appended before the branch, but neither is ever indexed alongside the others; the former is only tested for emptiness. Verified across every shape: 9, 10, 11 and 12 parse with the right defaults, a label containing spaces survives intact next to an empty trailing column, and both legacy layouts are refused rather than guessed.

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.
