Surface when LibrePortal is behind upstream and let users update from the WebUI, reusing the proven git-update path instead of reinventing it. Detection (host): webuiSystemUpdateCheck writes frontend/data/system/update_status.json from a throttled git fetch + behind-count + VERSION compare, off the existing per-minute `webui generate system` cron. A new /VERSION file is the canonical version. Display (frontend): update-notifier.js/.css render a global topbar badge (every page) and a dashboard banner (prominent when behind, subtle "up to date" with a manual check otherwise), plus a details panel. Actions go through the task pipeline: - `libreportal update apply` -> webuiRunUpdate (non-interactive: guards, forced check, gitPerformUpdate, then dockerInstallApp libreportal) - `libreportal update check` -> forced recheck gitFolderResetAndBackup's body is extracted into gitPerformUpdate (no exit) so the WebUI path can reuse it; the interactive CLI flow is unchanged. Detection JSON verified against the repo (up-to-date and behind cases). webuiRunUpdate's re-clone + redeploy still needs validation on a live host. The latest-version source is git for now and is the single swap point for get.libreportal.org later — the JSON contract and frontend stay unchanged.

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
git clone https://gitea.scottwebstar.co.uk/Webstar/LibrePortal.git
cd LibrePortal
./init.sh
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.

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.
