scripts/source/loading/initilize_files.sh gains an LP_LAZY=1 branch:
- Sources scripts/source/files/arrays/function_manifest.sh once. The
manifest defines LP_FN_MAP, LP_EAGER_FILES, AND ~700 autoload stubs
(precompiled by the generator — one parse cost vs evaluating 700
snippets at startup).
- Eager-sources every file listed in LP_EAGER_FILES (top-level side
effects: variable assignments, source calls, bare commands). These
can't safely be deferred — they'd skip the side effect, not just the
function definition.
- Skips the bulk loop that sources every files_to_source[@] entry.
Default behaviour (LP_LAZY unset or 0) is byte-identical to the previous
loader — every file gets eager-sourced up front. Long-running processes
(WebUI service, task processor) leave LP_LAZY unset because their first
call to anything wants the function already hot.
Each autoload stub looks like:
funcname() {
source "${install_scripts_dir}path/to/file.sh"
funcname "$@"
}
First call sources the real file, which redefines the function with the
real body; the stub's trailing `funcname "$@"` then calls the freshly-
defined real implementation. Sourcing the file also redefines stubs for
any sibling functions the same file declares, so they don't re-source.
Safety nets:
- Missing manifest → fall back to eager loading (`export LP_LAZY=0`).
No regression risk if someone enables LP_LAZY=1 on a stale install
whose regen never ran.
- LP_LOAD_TRACE=1 still works in lazy mode — it records the manifest
parse + each eager file (tagged LAZY-manifest / LAZY-EAGER) so Phase 4
can measure the actual saving.
No automatic flip yet — this commit only adds the path. Phase 4 will set
LP_LAZY=1 by default for the CLI entrypoint (and re-measure with the
trace tool from Phase 1).

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/USER.md — install, place data on separate disks/drives, update, back up, uninstall.
- docs/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.
