Phase 1 of the migration-system refresh. Surfaces Phase 0's kernel
(libreportal restore migrate ...) as a WebUI flow so users don't have
to drop to the CLI to pull an app from a peer's backups.
backend / data generator:
scripts/webui/data/generators/backup/webui_backup_migrate.sh
Walks every enabled backup location, lists every (other_host, app)
pair with snapshot count + latest id/date, and emits a single
destination summary block (installed apps, running apps, disk free)
so the frontend can compute collisions and warnings without per-row
API round-trips. Filters out our own hostname — we don't migrate to
ourselves. Output: data/backup/generated/migrate.json.
Hooked into the standard webuiLibrePortalUpdate refresh pipeline,
so 'libreportal regen webui' (and the periodic task-processor poll)
keep it fresh on their own.
frontend:
- New 'Migrate' sidebar tab on /backup, sits between Locations and
Configuration. Path-based URL: /backup/migrate.
- Per-source-host cards listing every available app, with snapshot
count + relative-time hint, collision dot when the app is already
installed here, and per-app + per-host migrate buttons.
- Confirm modal with two checkboxes matching the kernel's defaults:
[✓] Back up the destination's existing copy first (pre-migrate
backup; auto-disabled when there's nothing to back up)
[✓] Rewrite host-bound URLs to this host (URL rewrite
— uncheck only to keep source hostnames)
On confirm, runs 'libreportal restore migrate app/system …' via the
task system; opt-out checkboxes append --no-pre-backup / --keep-urls
only when the user un-ticks, matching the kernel's default-on flags.
- Empty state when no other hosts have visible backups, explaining
the shared-backup-location prerequisite.
The CLI dispatcher hooks (Phase 0) wire restore migrate app/system to
migrateApplyApp/migrateApplySystem, so the WebUI gets pre-backup safety,
URL rewrite, and structured progress (when --json-progress is set; not
needed here yet — the task system's log tail is enough for v1).

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/USER.md — install, place data on separate disks/drives, update, back up, uninstall.
- docs/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.
