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.
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.
