CFG_NETWORK_MTU=1500 was baked blindly into the rootless daemon uplink (DOCKERD_ROOTLESS_ROOTLESSKIT_MTU) and every app's container network. On links whose real path MTU is below 1500 (Qubes/NAT/VPN with PMTU discovery blocked), image manifests + tiny images pull fine but large image LAYERS stall and reset mid-blob with "httpReadSeeker: ... EOF" — apps silently fail to install. Probed here: path MTU ~1328, Docker at 1500 → black hole. - New scripts/network/network_mtu.sh: networkDetectMtu (don't-fragment ICMP ladder → largest standard MTU that gets through, 1500 when ICMP gives no signal) + networkEffectiveMtu (CFG_NETWORK_MTU: a number is verbatim, "auto" probes once and caches $docker_dir/.network_mtu) + networkRedetectMtu. - CFG_NETWORK_MTU default 1500 -> auto. Rootless setup now writes the resolved MTU into the override (and re-detects per install); the per-app NETWORK_MTU_TAG uses the resolved value too. Explicit numbers still win. Verified on this box: auto -> 1300; alpine (multi-MB) + the full ~100MB navidrome image now pull to completion where they previously EOF'd. Applied live (override 1300, config=auto, cache=1300, rootless docker restarted).

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.
