Focalboard is the one audit finding with no successor to follow.
Mattermost ended support in 2023, the community repo is openly asking
for maintainers, and the image has not been rebuilt in 1042 days.
Adds Vikunja as the replacement for NEW installs: lists, kanban, table
and gantt — the same job Focalboard did — from a project rebuilt 14 days
ago. One container on SQLite, no database sidecar, following the
catalogue conventions (tag sentinels throughout, category/title +
backup.db/backup.files labels, traefik block, gluetun markers).
VIKUNJA_SERVICE_PUBLICURL is wired to the existing APP_URL_TAG rather
than a hand-built URL. It is not optional for this app — get it wrong
and creating the first account fails with a bare "unauthorized" — and
APP_URL_TAG already resolves to https://<domain> behind Traefik or
http://<host>:<assigned-port> otherwise, so the port is never guessed.
(First attempt invented a PORT_DATA_1 tag that does not exist; checking
what the processors actually emit found the real mechanism, which
bookstack already uses.)
Focalboard is RETIRED, not deleted. Replacing an app in place would stand
still for anyone already running it — their data does not move to Vikunja
— so it keeps working, and instead:
* the description says plainly that it is unmaintained, why, and what
to use instead
* UPDATE_TYPE drops to manual, because there is nothing to update TO
and auto-pulling a 2.8-year-old tag is pure churn
Icon is a drawn placeholder, not the upstream trademark.

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.
