Choosing a drive worked from the CLI but was invisible in the WebUI, for three
separate reasons, each of which hid the next:
* the config editor only renders fields listed in apps-field-mappings.json,
and STORAGE was not one — so no amount of correct data made it appear. Added
there, in General, with its choices built from the locations registered at
generate time (unlike every other select here, they are not knowable
statically).
* app TEMPLATES ship "[default:Primary]", and templates are what the install
form reads for an app that is not installed yet — precisely the app whose
form needs to show which drives exist. storageSyncAllAppComments now covers
templates, and is finally called from a regen path: it was written for one
and never wired in, so every option list was frozen at install time and
adding a drive made it selectable nowhere.
* storageLocationName resolved a name only from an in-scope
CFG_STORAGE_LOC_<id>_NAME and otherwise fell back to the bare id. That name
is the value CFG_<APP>_STORAGE takes, so the generated dropdown offered
"location-1" as both label and value — a choice that does not resolve. Read
it from the location's own config when the variable is not in scope.
Then the control rendered but sat blank. Config values are the raw right-hand
side of "KEY=value # comment"; almost all are stored without a comment, but a
field whose comment is regenerated keeps one — CFG_<APP>_STORAGE records the
location it currently resolves to. updateConfigForm assigned that whole string
to the field, which for a <select> matches no option, sets selectedIndex to -1
and renders empty: an app on a second disk read as "nothing configured", or
after a partial fix as "Primary". Normalise once where the config enters the
form, and never assign a select a value none of its options carry.
Verified in the App Center: authelia, installed on disk1, shows
"disk1 (/mnt/lptest1/apps)" selected, with Primary/disk1/disk2 offered.

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.
