Task titles come from one table whose final fallback returns the raw command
string, so a dispatched command with no matching row does not error — it just
renders as "libreportal instance remove bookstack_work" beside properly named
neighbours. That silence is why this kept being fixed and kept coming back.
The guard reads BOTH files as source — the command templates from
task-commands.js and the pattern table from tasks-format.js — so it fails on a
command added without a name rather than leaving it to be noticed in the UI.
Two checks, both from source rather than guessed from rendered text:
1. Nothing falls through: a title equal to its command, or still starting with
"libreportal ", means the raw fallback was reached.
2. Every `libreportal app <verb>` verb has an actionMap entry. Without one the
generic branch composes "<Verb> Application", which is how "Up Application"
and "Down Application" shipped.
The second check reads the actionMap keys instead of pattern-matching the title,
which a first attempt did and which was wrong: "Reload Application" is both a
correct hand-written label and what the generic branch emits, so the rendered
text cannot distinguish them and the heuristic failed a title that was fine.
Verified by breaking it deliberately in both directions — adding a command with
no pattern, and deleting an actionMap verb. Each is caught, named, and pointed at
the file to edit; both files were restored byte-identical afterwards.
Lives in scripts/dev, which .gitattributes marks export-ignore, so it never ships
in a release tarball. Needs a node and borrows the running container's when the
host has none, the same constraint lp-shot works around for chromium.

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.

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.
