Three coupled defects in the first-run wizard flow, all surfacing as
"it said complete but nothing was set up":
1. Zero-app installs sailed through. With no apps ticked, setup was just
config+finalize, finished in seconds having installed nothing, and
fast-forwarded to an empty App Center. Add a self-contained in-wizard
confirm ("Install with no apps?") before submitting. Can't reuse the
shared confirmation-dialog component — it isn't loaded this early in
boot — so the dialog is rendered by the wizard itself and mounted on
<body> to escape the aurora surface's FX-stacking rule.
2. finalize declared success unconditionally. It never inspected the
per-app install tasks, so a failed app still yielded "your install is
ready" + a redirect. Pass the setup group id to `setup finalize`; it
now rolls up the group's app-install task results and logs a clear
partial/failed verdict. The WebUI completion watcher gates the welcome
toast + App Center hand-off on the whole group succeeding, not just on
finalize completing — a failed app now keeps the user on the tasks page
with an error toast instead of a false all-clear.
3. Setup task count was confusing (banner "of 2" while the page listed 3).
On dev/git installs the topbar's dev-mode auto-enable raced the wizard's
own CFG_DEV_MODE write and spawned a second, un-grouped config-update
task mid-setup. Skip that auto-enable while a setup handoff is active
(the wizard already persists CFG_DEV_MODE); it runs on the next load if
still needed.

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.
