Hi, my family and I’ve been working on Safebox, an open-source framework that helps you install, manage, and access self-hosted applications such as Home Assistant, Nextcloud, and Jellyfin ect. Safebox runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows (supporting both x86 and ARM64 architectures, even Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi hardwares also tested). It manages domain and subdomain setup, Let’s Encrypt certificates, DNS configuration, and reverse proxy (nginx). It also includes a WireGuard-based remote access feature and a geo-redundant backup system (currently in development). The project is in beta, and we’re looking for people interested in testing and sharing feedback. All information about Safebox and beta testing can be found in our Discord channel. If you’d like to try it out, you can start it with Docker:
docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock safebox/framework-scheduler
Then open: http://localhost:8080/
Website: https://safebox.network/ GitHub: https://github.com/safeboxnetwork/framework-scheduler Discord: https://discord.gg/aBP8bz6N8J
We’d really appreciate any feedback or ideas for improvement.
Very cool, it’s on my list of things to try out at some point
I’m curious what this has been like, if you don’t mind sharing 😄 What is each person working on?
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
That’s awesome, I haven’t seen many family software projects before.
Looking forward to seeing how it develops!
