Root-run command to move the system and/or containers root to another disk after install, re-baking everything that carries those paths: the nine root-owned helpers, the CLI wrapper, the systemd unit and the WebUI's own compose bind-mounts. Deliberately NOT in the manager's scoped sudoers, and symlinked into PATH like the uninstaller. Moving a root re-bakes the very helpers the sudoers allowlist trusts, so a helper that did it from a caller-supplied path would hand the manager the entire trust boundary those helpers exist to defend. A human with real root runs this; the WebUI can only print the command, which is what the Storage step now does. Copy-verify-then-leave, never move: the source tree is not removed at all — the command tells you to delete it once you have confirmed the WebUI works. An interrupted run therefore leaves a working install behind rather than half of one, and the pre-relocation copies of every root-owned file are kept under $lp_lib_dir/.relocate-<timestamp>/. Admission mirrors libreportal-storage: absolute, no "..", not a protected system path, not already in use, must be an empty directory, roots must not nest, and space checked with 10% headroom. One bug worth recording, caught on the first test run against a live install: _validate_target was called inside $(...), and `die` runs `exit` — which inside a command substitution kills only the subshell. Every refusal silently became "proceed" and the relocation ran. No damage (the copy steps were guarded on a now-empty variable, so the re-bake wrote identical values and only the service bounced), but it is exactly the difference between a refusal and an unintended relocation. It now sets a global and returns, so `die` exits the script it is meant to. footprint_version -> 7 for the new root-owned executable. 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.
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.
