Task titles come from one declarative table in formatCommandForUser, whose final fallback is the raw command string. Five of the sixteen command shapes the WebUI dispatches had no row and hit that fallback, so they showed as "libreportal instance remove bookstack_work" where a backup shows as "Bookstack - Create Backup". Cross-checked every shape in task-commands.js against the real formatter rather than fixing only the reported one: instance create -> Bookstack - New Instance (work) instance remove -> Bookstack · work - Remove Instance system status -> LibrePortal - System Status system update -> LibrePortal - System Update system reset -> LibrePortal - Reset System Instance create is named off the TYPE rather than the new slug: at create time the instance is not in window.apps yet, so displayName() would fall back to capitalising the slug and render "Bookstack_work". Four more were not raw but read badly, because the generic "<Action> Application" fallback has no entry for the compose verbs: up and down rendered as "Up Application" and "Down Application". Now Start/Stop Containers, Reload Application and Check Status. And per-service restart collapsed to "Restart Application", losing the only thing that distinguished it — it now names the service. All seventeen shapes verified through the real formatter: zero fall through. Instance removal also finishes properly now. It skipped the button lockout a normal uninstall applies, so the instance's Config/Tools/Backups tabs stayed live against an app being torn down underneath them; it now makes the same disableAppButtons call executeUninstall does. And it bounced to the TYPE's Config page, hiding the very task the click had just started — it now lands on the removed instance's own Tasks tab. Verified by driving the WebUI: creating an instance files a task titled "Bookstack - New Instance (uitest)", removing it lands on /app/bookstack_uitest/tasks, and disableAppButtons flips all five app tabs from enabled to disabled. Test instance removed afterwards. 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.

PRs welcome — see CONTRIBUTING.md. We use a lightweight

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.
