The digest compare only ever asks about the tag already pinned, so it answers "has my tag been rebuilt?" and can never answer "does a newer version exist?". An app on v0.16 reports up to date forever while 0.17 ships. That is the gap between an app that updates and an app that is current, and it silently affects every pinned app. Adds tag enumeration for VERSIONED tags only (rolling tags already move on their own): list the repo's tags, keep those sharing the current tag's SHAPE, and pick the numerically greatest. Shape matching is the whole safety story — v0.16 -> v#.# so it can never "upgrade" you onto v0.16-alpine, 31-fpm-alpine onto 31-apache, or a date tag onto a semver one. Comparison is component-wise numeric, so 0.10 > 0.9 and 1.0 > 0.99 (a string sort gets both wrong), with 10# forcing base ten so an upstream "08" cannot be read as octal. 15 unit tests cover it. Docker Hub only, deliberately: all three pinned apps live there, it needs no auth, and the generic OCI tags/list wants a per-registry token dance. Other registries stay quiet rather than guess. Throttled inside the existing registry window and cached between windows so it cannot flicker. Surfaced as INFORMATION, never an action: no button applies it, because a version move can carry a data migration. `update_available` and the "up to date" badge keep their exact meaning; the new state sits beside them and points at the Version field. Against the live registry: stalwart v0.16 is current, nextcloud is on 31-fpm-alpine with 34-fpm-alpine out, mastodon on v4.2.0 with v4.6.5 out. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
