initUpdateConfigOption (init.sh) and commandUpdateConfigOption (the CLI
wrapper heredoc) both rewrite CFG_<NAME>= lines with a sed s-command
using `|` as the delimiter. The escaping covered only `/` and `&` in
$escaped_value, and $comment_part wasn't escaped at all — so any line
whose comment contains a literal `|` blew up the substitution:
sed: -e expression #1, char 167: unknown option to `s'
The trigger in the install log is the CFG_INSTALL_MODE comment:
# Installation Mode - ... [release:Release tarball (recommended)|git:Git clone (dev)|local:Local folder (dev)]
Two sed errors in install-20260526-223006.log, both same line — once
from initUpdateConfigOption during the initial-values pass, once from
the CFG_INSTALL_MODE re-set later. The substitution silently failed
(line not rewritten) and the install continued.
Switch the delimiter to SOH (\x01). Text-based config values + comments
never contain that byte, so the delimiter never needs to be escaped.
Only `&` (whole-match insertion in the replacement) and `\` (escape
char) remain hazardous in the replacement field, and BOTH are now
neutralised in $escaped_value AND in $comment_part.
Verified against the actual offending line: the old form reproduces
`sed: unknown option to 's'` at char 165; the new form rewrites cleanly
with every `|` in the comment preserved.
Same fix applied to both functions — initUpdateConfigOption lives at
install-time, commandUpdateConfigOption is baked into the CLI wrapper
at /usr/local/lib/libreportal/libreportal; new installs pick up both
from this commit.

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.
