@TopKnot@mas.to Yeah, it can definitely feel really complicated, especially when you’re just starting out. That’s actually one of the reasons we created Safebox, we went through the same struggles ourselves. We’re also working on proper documentation so others can better understand and learn from it.

By the way, is there a specific self hosted app you had in mind for storing the maps and documents you mentioned?

Thanks, must’ve missed that

Safebox is basically a framework to help you install and manage self hosted apps. It also includes features like remote access, backup, monitoring, and disk management (the last three are still in development). Safebox handles all the setup for you, DNS configuration, SSL certificates, and so on. If you want remote access, all you need to do is provide a domain (it can be an existing one, or you can register it with us). Of course, you can still use it locally, remote access is just an optional feature.

For people who don’t want to deal with the technical side, or who are still learning but want to try out self-hosting, I think Safebox makes things a lot easier and gives them a solid starting point

Yeah, as I mentioned earlier, proper documentation is already in the works, and I hope that will make it clear how our project differs. Thanks for the suggestion!

I really like what you’re doing, keep it up!

Thanks again for your suggestion we recently added docker autoinstall. Currently supporting ubuntu, debian and raspbian. https://github.com/safeboxnetwork/framework-scheduler/blob/main/README.md Thanks, and feel free to share any further feedback or remark.

Thanks😀 As I mentioned in a previous comment, we tried to integrate auto docker installation, but ultimately decided that it would be easier for users to install Docker themselves, and the guide explains the installation process step by step. This way, Safebox can be installed on any os.

Thanks for your feedback 😀 Yeah, the app list on the website can be a bit confusing since it moves around, we’ll fix that soon. For now, these are the apps you can use in Safebox: Jellyfin, HomeAssistant, Immich, Nextcloud, Guacamole, Leantime, Gitea, Vaultwarden, Transmission, SMTP, Outline, Filebrowser, PocketID We’re always working on adding more apps and improving existing features, so the list will keep growing over time.

Yeah, it’s similar to Yunohost or Sandstorm in that you can run self-hosted apps easily, but the main difference with Safebox is that it runs on any os with a single docker command. You don’t need to mess with terminals or commands afterward. Like Yunohost, you can install and manage apps through a web interface, while Safebox also adds geo-redundant backups and optional remote access,all in one interface.
