librelad 94683db240 Backup step: snapshot times, a disabled Next, and readable errors
Three things.

The snapshot times now sit under the count. They are the only thing about a
snapshot legible without the key — the filename is an opaque hash and
everything describing what is inside is in the encrypted object — so they
answer "is this the backup I think it is, and did it run when I expect", which
is the question someone actually has before typing a password into it.

Next is disabled until the backup has been opened, rather than accepting the
click and then arguing. validateStep still refuses, for anyone who arrives
another way, but the disabled state says "something above me is unfinished"
before the click instead of after. It re-enables on a successful read and goes
back to disabled the moment the path, type or password changes, since that read
is then about a different repository.

Error text was rgb(220,53,69) on a 10%-opacity danger background — a mid red on
a dark blue panel, legible in theory and squinted at in practice. Lighter text,
a firmer border, more line-height. The test asserts perceived brightness rather
than an exact colour, so a theme change cannot quietly undo it.

One real bug on the way: _adoptSingleResult rebuilt the record by hand, naming
four fields, so `times` was dropped and the list came out empty even though the
data was right there. It passes the whole record through now — a field lost
that way is invisible until something downstream needs it.

Not done, and worth stating plainly: these times are not selectable. Picking
one would be picking a hash — a restic snapshot is ONE app's data or the
settings tree, not a whole machine, and which is which cannot be known until
the repository is open. Choosing a point in time to restore from is a real
thing to want and belongs on Contents, after unlocking, where the snapshots
have names.

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.org host is still being set up — until it's live, build a release and install from it locally (see the docs below).

Documentation

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.
