Hi r/SelfHosted!

I’m thrilled to share a major update to Portall

GitHub: https://github.com/need4swede/Portall

| What is Portall?

  • Portall is a self-hosted port management system that provides an intuitive web interface for generating, tracking, and organizing port numbers for services across multiple hosts.

| Why should I use it?

  • If you’re tired of keeping track of ports in spreadsheets or text files, and you want an intuitive way to organize your services across multiple hosts, then look no further.
  • Portall features a user-friendly design, has third-party integrations (Docker, Portainer, and Komodo), and features an intuitive port management interface that lets you move ports around using drag-and-drop, quickly generate new ports for apps or select from a list of over 160 preset self-hosted applications, and so much more.

What’s New in v2.0.0:

Docker Integration

  • Auto-detection of Docker containers and their port mappings
  • Secure socket proxy architecture using 11notes/socket-proxy:stable
  • Read-only Docker API access with network isolation for enhanced security

Portainer & Komodo Integration

  • Auto-detection of Portainer containers and port mappings
  • Komodo integration for seamless container management workflow

Port Scanning

  • Scan IP addresses for open ports to discover existing services
  • Background scanning with configurable intervals

Complete UI Overhaul

  • Brand new interface with improved dark and light modes
  • Smoother animations and better visual communication
  • Enhanced mobile responsive layout for managing ports on the go

Enhanced Security

  • Dedicated portall-network for service isolation
  • Read-only containers with tmpfs mounts
  • Container hardening with capability restrictions

Improved Data Management

  • Enhanced JSON exports now contain complete instance information
  • Full instance restoration from v2.x exports
  • Better import logic for docker-compose files

Core Features:

  • Easy port management: Add, remove, and assign ports to different services and hosts
  • Port number generation: Quickly generate unique port numbers with custom rules
  • Import tools: Import from Caddyfile, Docker-Compose, or JSON data
  • Block-level design: Drag and drop to organize ports and move applications between hosts
  • Protocol support: Full TCP/UDP protocol management
  • Custom themes: Light and Dark modes with CSS playground for customization

Tech Stack:

  • Backend: Flask 3.0.3 (Python 3.11)
  • Database: SQLAlchemy 2.0.31 with SQLite
  • Migrations: Flask-Migrate + Alembic for seamless updates
  • Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, Vanilla JavaScript

This has been a massive update based on community feedback. I have taken some much needed time away from the console to focus on raising our newborn, so thank you all for being so understanding and for all the well-wishes. Truly, it means a lot to me.

This is an initial release, so some bugs are expected. Not to worry, I’ll be rolling out hot fixes as fast as I can! Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for future improvements. I do highly recommend that you backup your existing db, just in case!

Thank you,
