Introduce scripts/source/paths.sh as the canonical path resolver for three independently-relocatable roots: LP_SYSTEM_DIR manager-owned control plane (configs/logs/install/db/ssl/ssh/migrate) LP_CONTAINERS_DIR container-user-owned live app data LP_BACKUPS_DIR container-user-owned backup repos (own mount-able) Roots come from the environment when set (install bakes them; CLI/app inherit from init.sh), else default to /libreportal-*. A transitional compat default keeps EXISTING installs (legacy single /docker tree, by config marker) on /docker until a deliberate reinstall, so deploying this never strands a running box. - init.sh derives the same vars inline (self-contained for the bare /root/init.sh reinstall case); paths.sh mirrors it for the standalone task/check processors, which now self-locate their scripts dir and source it. - Replace functional /docker literals with the derived vars across runtime, install, backup, crontab, crowdsec/restic, headscale, and reinstall paths; clean the inert '== /docker/containers/*' guard fallbacks to the variable form. - backend: CONTAINERS_DIR now from LP_CONTAINERS_DIR (compose env, filled at generation via a new CONTAINERS_DIR_TAG), legacy-safe default for un-recreated containers. - backup default path falls back to the backups root; exclude paths.sh from the sourced-file arrays (bootstrap file, sourced explicitly). The CLI-wrapper heredoc + root helpers still reference /docker; those get baked in phase 3. No layout/ownership change yet (phase 2).

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.
