Every picture on this page is LibrePortal as it ships, running on an ordinary server.

Dashboard

Everything in one place

Every app you run, one tap away. Arrange it, hide what you don't need, and see at a glance that it's all healthy.

The LibrePortal dashboard on a computer: server stats and every installed app, one tap to open

The default Dashy dashboard in dark mode, with apps grouped as Watch and listen, Security, Notes and docs, and System

App Center

81 apps, one tap each

Pick an app, answer a couple of questions, and it is installed, secured and on your dashboard.

Passwords made for you. Never a default one.
Each app lists the phone and desktop apps that work with it, F-Droid first.

An app's Phone apps tab: the phone apps that work with it, with the F-Droid repository, Download APK and App Store buttons

Shared folders

Music, photos and video, shared properly

Shared folders belong to LibrePortal, not to one app, so removing an app never touches them. Choose who sees each one.

Add a phone or a computer with a QR code.
See every connected device, and remove any of them.

People

Bring the household

Everyone gets their own sign-in. Send an invite link and they choose their own password. Members open only the apps you give them.

Admin, People: the owner, Alex Morgan, and a household member, Sam Morgan

The Updates page: what needs attention, with a Review button for each update and an Update all button — Updates that look after themselves. A checked backup first, a health check after, and an automatic undo if it goes wrong.

A Family dashboard in Dashy, dark, with each app's phone apps beside it — A dashboard for the household. Only the links meant for people, each with its phone apps beside it.

LibreSync for Android · 0.x preview

Your files, on your phone.

Our own Android app puts your shared folders on your phone, so every music, photo and video app can see them. It finds your server, asks only for what it needs, and syncs on Wi-Fi.

LibreSync: what it found on the server — What we found

LibreSync: shared folders syncing to the phone — Home

LibreSync: the permissions it asks for, and why — Permissions

LibreSync: Wi-Fi only, charging only, and update settings — Settings

Download LibreSync A preview: it works, and it's still getting better.

Backups you can trust

One button. Everything.

Back up everything: settings, apps and shared folders, together.
Restore to a new server from that one backup, step by step.
A test restore every month, so you know the backup works before you need it.

Keep copies on another disk, another server, or off-site, encrypted with a key only you hold.

Backups: apps protected, the last Back up everything run, and the status of each app's backups

Private by default

Built for your home network, not ours.

Home network first

Every app works on a plain address on your own network. Away from home, a private VPN gets you in. No domain needed.

Notifications without Google

Chat and alerts reach your phone through ntfy on your own server, not a big tech push service.

Open-source phone apps

We only point you at open-source apps, from F-Droid first. Nothing to sign up for elsewhere.

No telemetry

LibrePortal never reports what you run or how you use it. No default passwords, rootless containers, CrowdSec on guard.

Exactly what your server does contact

A server still has to fetch things now and then. Any request shows your server's IP address to the host it goes to, and nothing more is sent.

get.libreportal.orgUpdate checks (latest.json), release downloads, and the signed app and hotfix catalogue (index.json). Git installs check their git remote instead.
Container registriesDocker Hub, GHCR, Quay and the like: pulling your apps' images and checking them for new versions.
ip.libreportal.orgYour server's public address, only when none of its own network cards holds one. Can be self-hosted or switched off.
get.docker.comInstalling Docker, once, during install.
Let's EncryptIssuing certificates, only if you give LibrePortal a domain.
What you configureNotification services, VPN providers, backup targets, and whatever the apps you install talk to.

This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from third parties.

LibrePortal Connect · optional

Behind a router you can't change? We're the courier.

Connect reaches a server behind NAT or CGNAT and carries encrypted off-site backups, like a courier with a sealed box. We never run your apps and never hold your key. It's free to self-host too.

The promise

Free software, and it stays that way.

100%

Every feature, free to self-host. No crippled edition.

0

Trackers or telemetry. No account needed to run it.

∅

Feature paywalls. You only ever pay for convenience.

AGPL

What's open stays open. AGPL-3.0-or-later.

Read the full Promise →

Get started

One command. Your own cloud.

Debian or Ubuntu, a spare machine or a small server. The setup walks you through the rest.
