Update: after a longer break, we've released a bugfix for the framework-scheduler component, primarily addressing issues related to the upgrade process. If you’re already using Safebox, you can access the update in the Notifications menu.

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.

So my point I was driving at - especially with such a diverse offering of wireguard services which do not charge for (effectively) VPN access to your own infrastructure - I was more interested in why your service would be looking to pay gate it as a “premium” feature.

This would be different if we were talking you hosting all these services on your infrastructure but considering the marketing to homelab - I find it to be an unusual choice… And was curious as to the reason for the decision.

Right now, we’re not charging anything for our service. In the future, if we do, it would only cover things like domain registration, proxy setup, and some extra features such as monitoring and traffic analytics.

It’s important to mention that using our service isn’t required for Safebox to work. You can use your own domain provider, set up a VPS with a public IP, point your domain to it, and everything will work just fine.

I asked one of our developers to answer your other question since he can give you a more accurate answer.
