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.

    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
