Since the software is open source, we’re not planning to block or restrict anything now or in the future. Right now we’re focused on development, and later we might build some services around it, but the software itself will always be free to use.
Our software is basically a web app that makes it easier to install and manage supported third-party apps. Wireguard (currently) is only used for remote access, if you don’t need that you don’t have to turn it on.
For security, everything runs in an isolated sandbox using docker and that also answers your other question.
We do plan to offer a paid remote access service in the future, but it’s totally optional. The same goes for backups, they can be geo-redundant if you use our service, but these are optional feature.
Thanks, yes we’re looking for early users and feedback
We’re just a family working together in our spare time. We want to make self-hosted web hosting easier to start and easier to use for everyone. We don’t have a business plan yet, we just want to build something useful and see what people think of it. Are you assuming it’s not open source because of the github page? We used Gitea before, and we’re moving everything over from there, that’s why it may look a bit empty right now.
Thanks! That’s a mistake, the pro version is currently completely free in beta.
The main difference is that Safebox is software that runs on any operating system with a single command using docker. There’s no need to use terminals and commands later on. Like Yunohost, you can install and manage self-hosted apps with it, but it also includes geo-redundant backup and remote access features, all in one interface.
Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll definitely look into it.
