Application backups were driven by one crontab entry per app, each offset by id * CFG_BACKUP_CRONTAB_APP_INTERVAL minutes. That minute offset is written straight into cron's 0-59 minute field, so past ~20 apps it overflowed into an invalid entry that silently never fired, and the fixed spacing could not serialize backups that ran longer than the gap. Replace it with a single daily entry (`libreportal backup scheduled`) that enqueues a backup task per enabled app. The existing systemd task processor drains them serially — no minute overflow, real serialization, and backups are now visible/cancellable in the Tasks UI. Per-app enable is read from CFG_<APP>_BACKUP at schedule time instead of being mirrored into crontab. Removes the stagger machinery (timing/setup/check/remove scripts), the now-unused cron_jobs table + insert, and the CFG_BACKUP_CRONTAB_APP_INTERVAL config knob and its WebUI field.

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.
