Hi everyone, we’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. Try it using Docker: docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock safebox/framework-scheduler
Then open: http://localhost:8080/

We’d really appreciate any feedback or ideas for improvement.
They will have a paid tier after beta, also it’s deployed with docker only. It’s a shame, it does look quite clean.
€10 a month even though you’re hosting things yourself on your own hardware.
To be fair, the pro plan is for the non-local stuff, which is at least understandable as domains and resolution services are non-free.
Also ongoing development takes resources. Seems like a reasonable approach.
I say this as someone who absolutely despises subscriptions.
They should clarify it. If these 3 points are just offering an easier way to do it, then fine. If they block these features in general when you want to manage it yourself, then screw it. I had one self hosted software, which blocked remote access even when you use your own reverse proxy. At least it was a one time payment.
From their FAQ:
Thanks! That’s a mistake, the pro version is currently completely free in beta.
Yep, two reasons I’m out.
