scripts/source/load_sources.sh — when init_run_flag=false (one-shot CLI
invocation), default LP_LAZY=1 before sourceCheckFiles runs. Honours an
explicit `LP_LAZY=0 libreportal …` override for debugging or for working
around a stale manifest.
Long-running processes (init_run_flag=true → task processor, WebUI
service) stay unchanged — they want eager loading because they keep
running and benefit from every function being already-hot.
Measured on this box, 3 runs each:
EAGER (default before this commit):
real 0.91s / 1.12s / 0.94s avg ~0.99s wall
user 0.40s / 0.41s / 0.42s avg ~0.41s CPU
LAZY (new default for CLI):
real 0.63s / 0.65s / 0.66s avg ~0.65s wall
user 0.26s / 0.27s / 0.26s avg ~0.26s CPU
Wall: ~340ms saved per invocation (34%).
User: ~150ms saved per invocation (37%).
Files actually sourced at startup: 455 → 8 (the manifest itself + 7
side-effect files: setup_lock, the two crontab processors, backup_db,
backup_files, swap_docker_type, migrate_url_rewrite).
Safety nets:
- Missing manifest auto-falls-back to eager loading (init.sh check
in the lazy branch sets LP_LAZY=0 if function_manifest.sh is absent).
- Stub for a function not in the manifest still produces a clean
'command not found' rather than weird behaviour, so a stale manifest
surfaces immediately. `libreportal regen arrays` regenerates both
files_*.sh and function_manifest.sh.
Smoke-tested (lazy mode active): `libreportal help`, `peer list`,
`peer` (shows full help), `restore` (shows full help), `debug load-
trace peer list` (traces a lazy run and shows the 8 files loaded). All
output identical to eager mode.

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.

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.
