Only two of the four keys flagged as unused actually were. gitea and invidious
ADMIN_PASSWORD are written by their auth adapters through authPersistCfg, which
builds the name as CFG_${app^^}_${key} from a parameter — invisible to a literal
grep, which is why the earlier pass called them dead. They stay.
Worse, the slot rename broke that write path for five apps: adguard, bookstack,
gitea, invidious and nextcloud all persist ADMIN_PASSWORD, and the config now
holds ADMIN_PASSWORD_1. updateConfigOption only rewrites a key that already
exists, so the write became a no-op — the app's password would really change
while the config and the WebUI kept showing the old one.
authPersistCfg now falls back to the numbered slot when the bare key is absent,
so adapters never need to know how a credential is numbered and adding a slot
can't silently disconnect the adapter that writes it. When neither name exists
it warns and returns non-zero instead of failing silently, which surfaces a
pre-existing case: linkding's adapter persists ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PASSWORD but
its config declares neither, and never did.
Deleted the two that really are dead: CFG_TRAEFIK_ADMIN_PASSWORD_1 (its adapter
uses CFG_TRAEFIK_USER/CFG_TRAEFIK_PASS from the system config) and
CFG_GLUETUN_CONTROL_SERVER_API_KEY_1, plus their WebUI field mappings.

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.
