Root cause of the "task loops eternally" bug: the lazy-autoload stub was
fn() { source "$file"; fn "$@"; }
If the source fails — the real case: an app-install/deploy rsync briefly
removes-then-replaces a generator file while a setup task calls it — `fn` is
never redefined, so `fn "$@"` re-invokes the *stub*, which sources the (still
missing) file, which re-invokes the stub… A single setup finalize recursed
12,050 levels, flooding the task log and taking 82s before it happened to
recover when the file reappeared. A permanently-missing file would never
recover.
Fix (root cause): drop the stub before sourcing —
fn() { unset -f fn; source "$file"; fn "$@"; }
so a failed source degrades to one "command not found" (rc 127) instead of
unbounded recursion. Regenerated function_manifest.sh (975 stubs, reformat
only — no function-set change).
Failsafes on the task processor (defence in depth, per request):
- FUNCNEST cap (TASK_FUNCNEST_MAX, default 1000) inside the task's eval
subshell — any runaway recursion now aborts in milliseconds instead of
spamming the log until the stack/disk gives out.
- Wall-clock cap (TASK_MAX_RUNTIME_SECS, default 7200s, 0=off) — the heartbeat
watcher TERM→KILLs a task's process group once exceeded and marks it failed
(distinct from a user cancel via a .timeout marker). Generous so real long
installs/backups/migrations finish.

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.
