The Features section was a grab-bag of ~27 toggles, most of which are
either category-specific (firewall, SSL, Docker network, SSH hardening)
or install-time choices that brick the box if flipped on a live
install (the WebUI / config / CLI / Docker requirements). One page
made auditing easier but flattened the risk hierarchy.
Reorganised so each toggle lives where it conceptually belongs, and
the dangerous install-time set is double-gated:
network_docker (Advanced) DOCKER_NETWORK, DOCKER_NETWORK_PRUNE,
DOCKER_SWITCHER
network_firewall (Advanced) UFW, UFWD, WHITELIST_PORT_UPDATER [new]
network_domains (field-Adv) SSLCERTS
security_ssh (Advanced) SSHKEY_DOWNLOADER, SSH_DISABLE_PASSWORDS,
BCRYPT_SAVE, GLUETUN_FOR_ALL [new]
general_terminal (Advanced) CRONTAB, CONFIGS_CHECK,
CONFIGS_AUTO_UPDATE, CONFIGS_AUTO_DELETE,
MISSING_IPS, CONTINUE_PROMPT,
SUGGEST_INSTALLS, SUGGEST_METRICS
general_install (Adv+DEV) CONFIG, COMMAND, WEBUI, WEBUI_SERVICE,
DATABASE, PASSWORDS, DOCKER_CE,
DOCKER_COMPOSE
The install-time eight are marked **ADVANCED** **DEV** — invisible
unless Developer Mode is on AND "Show Advanced Options" is expanded.
Each field's description was updated to note "Disabling on an existing
install will brick the system" / "install-time choice only" so a user
who does get to the toggle understands the gun before pulling the
trigger.
Other cleanup that fell out:
- Removed `configs/features/` directory entirely.
- Added the two new subcategories to SUBCATEGORY_ORDER in
network/.category and security/.category.
- Dropped the `category === 'features'` Danger Zone header special-case
in config-manager.js and its .danger-zone-section--header-only CSS
variant (sole user).
- Trimmed an obsolete "Edit the features config" notice in
check_requirements.sh.

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.

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.
