Redo the download/website host as a normal app under containers/ (dogfooded — the
project hosts its own downloads on LibrePortal), instead of the bespoke repo-root
thing. Modeled on speedtest: standard getlibreportal.{config,sh,svg} +
docker-compose.yml (tagged template) so it plugs into the app scan + install
dispatch (installGetlibreportal) like every other app. nginx serves ./data (the
app data dir) — no special /web.
- getlibreportal.config: features category, public (login=false — it's a download
host), no backup (regenerable), healthcheck on.
- docker-compose.yml: nginx:alpine, ./data:ro docroot + ./nginx.conf, traefik tags.
- nginx.conf: install.sh + latest.json no-cache; tarball/.sha256/.minisig immutable.
- publish.sh: assembles the docroot (built site + install.sh + dist/<channel>) into
a target data dir; run on a full repo checkout (site/ + dist/ are host-side).
- exec bits set on the run-directly scripts (make_release.sh, install.sh, publish.sh).
- .gitattributes: dropped the stray 'getlibreportal export-ignore' (the no-slash
pattern would also have excluded containers/getlibreportal — the app must ship);
data/ gitignored.
Verified: app discovered by the site catalog (32 apps), installGetlibreportal matches
the dispatch name, and the full release->publish flow yields a docroot with the
website + install.sh + the signed/checksummed stable channel. The actual app-install
run + DNS/TLS for get.libreportal.org are operational steps (need a real host).

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.
