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.

Thanks a lot for the kind words and the nice feedback.

The idea and most of the core development came from my father-in-law, he started it years ago with one of his friends. My partner and I joined later to help mostly with testing ,using it, and coming up with ideas for what features might make it more practical for everyday use. We spent a lot of time researching similar projects and reading through community discussions to see what people were saying about their experiences and needs in the self-hosted world. We really care about keeping everything simple and transparent, so the UI and website design were done by another friend of my father-in-law.

We know there’s still a lot left to do, and that it’ll probably keep cutting into our sunday lunches 😄 but we hope it’ll end up being something genuinely useful for others too

Thank you so much for your valuable feedback and kind words.

About the VPN configuration transfer, we’ve thought about it a lot, and in the end this seemed like the best solution: we hide the config behind a long random URL make it available for 5 minutes, and then delete the link. So, in theory an unauthorized user would have only five minutes to guess the URL and gain access. If you have a better idea, I’d really appreciate it.

As for backup_challenge_clients.sh it’s still a work in progress. It doesn’t work in the current beta version, and none of its features are available in the web interface yet. We’ll let you know once it’s implemented.

We’ll fix the nginx config, I promise 🙂 Just keep in mind this isn’t meant to be a public-facing site yet, since there’s no user authentication for now. But we’ll definitely review the web server setup too.

Thanks again for all your feedback, please keep helping us improve
