librelad aced021aea docs(distribution): fold design-panel refinements into the artifact spec
The four-lens design panel finished (marketplace-first ranked top) and
confirmed the format; graft in the strongest refinements it surfaced so
the spec is genuinely "done":

- Publishers MAP trust anchor: `publisher` is now a key into an index-root
  `publishers` map ({display, role, key}) the team-signed index vouches
  for, not an inline {name,trust}. An artifact's claimed trust is honored
  only if the publisher's role permits AND its sig verifies against that
  key — so a community key can never self-certify as official. This is the
  load-bearing trust mechanism for the marketplace seam.
- Two-tier reversibility: a per-op `undo` array (precise revert) plus the
  snapshot (dirty-op fallback).
- All-or-nothing dry-precheck-all before any snapshot; unknown op rejects
  the whole artifact at validation.
- Canonical-bytes signing rule (sign the exact artifact bytes, never
  re-serialize on the box) + warrant-canary countersigning index_serial.
- Op vocabulary grown to the full set (set-data-file as the bridge to
  bundles; set/unset-compose-env; ensure-compose-up/restart-service).
- Envelope gains version/supersedes/reversible + richer applies_when
  (image_match/requires/conflicts).
- CFG_HOTFIX_AUTO + staged rollout / randomized delay / recall-via-supersedes.
- Flag the VERIFIED existing bug: updaterRecordHistory silently skips the
  audit entry when jq is absent (cli_updater_commands.sh:154-168) — Phase 2
  must make it fail-closed; "nothing silent" depends on it.
- Phases re-sequenced (P2 heart, P3 auto-apply, P4 WebUI, P5 make_hotfix.sh,
  deferred registry).

Spec-only change — no code; the Phase 1 read primitive is unaffected (it's
a generic verified fetch; publisher/envelope internals are Phase 2).

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.
