An instance's isolation never needed a domain — its own slug, dir, secrets, IP and randomly-allocated host port already make two copies independent. But the routing layer assumed one, so a LAN-only box got a broken instance rather than a port-served one. Four fixes: - instanceCreate now rewrites the parent-service column of the cloned config's PORT_ rows to match the service names it stamps into the compose. That value is stored as network_resources.parent_service and joined against the compose-derived service names, so an instance left carrying the TYPE's service name matched nothing: it rendered in the WebUI with no port, no URL and no login row despite being up and reachable. - `instance create --local` (plus a LAN-only toggle in the modal) forces every port to access=private, traefik=false, for a second copy that should stay off the domain even when one is configured. - initializeAppVariables forces the traefik column false when no CFG_DOMAIN_n is set. Previously a traefik=true port with an empty domain stamped Host(`app.`) — a trailing-dot host matching nothing — and dragged APP_URL to https://app. with it, breaking every app that builds its links from APP_URL. host_setup is blanked for the same reason. The published host port is untouched; access type, not the traefik flag, gates allocation. - APP_URL's direct host-port branch now prefers a new $local_ip_v4 (the source IP for the default route) over $public_ip_v4, which is the WAN address from an external resolver. LibrePortal never forwards ports, so the WAN address was unreachable for exactly the LAN/VPN clients that branch serves. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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.
