The port editor used to serialise ten of the twelve columns, so saving any port on an app silently discarded that app's Traefik subdomain and the router fell back to the app-name default. Navidrome lost "music" and Speedtest lost "speedtest" exactly that way, and nothing reported it — the app kept working, on the wrong hostname. The writer is fixed, but an install already carrying the damage would keep it forever: reconcile preserves the user's value, and a truncated row IS the user's value as far as it can tell. It now tops such a row up from the template, appending ONLY the columns the live row does not reach. Everything the live row states wins — including a deliberately blanked column — so clearing a subdomain is not undone, and a live row longer than its template is left alone. Two faults of my own, caught while testing it end to end: The notice was printed on stdout. This function returns its result through a command substitution, so the notice text was captured INTO the config value and written to navidrome's descriptor. It goes to stderr. The width in the message was measured after the merge, so it reported the post-merge count as the "before". Captured up front instead. Verified against a live install: truncating navidrome's row to 9 columns and running `config check` restores it to 11 with "music" intact, a second run changes nothing, and no port on the box is left Traefik- managed without a subdomain. Unit-checked that it declines to act on a complete row, a non-port key, a row longer than its template, and never overwrites a live value; quoting style is preserved either way.

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.
