  • yup, I even commented on the previous thread.

    I’ll take a look at this safebox out of curiosity, but as I said in the previous thread, assuming this even meets OP’s goal, I expect the project to be another abandoned GitHub repo once the constant security maintenance cycles hit.

    I’m generally of the opinion that OP’s target could be better met with well designed and well maintained walkthroughs of the most common use cases. There’s a ton of documentation and tutorials out there, but they’re all either terrible or unmaintained. A system that cross-linked and branched for the various up to date use cases like a choose-your-own-adventure book would be super.





  • You’re confusing a lack of handholding with gatekeeping.

    beginner friendly solution, something with a UI, fewer manual configs…

    First, you’re not entirely right. you can get a ton of self hosting done with things like Synology or Home assistant, and never see the complexity. You might get owned by a botnet, but it “works.”

    Self hosting securely has a steep learning curve, there’s no way around that. What you’re asking for is for someone to write programs that’ll let you skip the learning curve.

    GitHub is littered with abandoned attempts at doing this. You bury your lede by mentioning “your project” at the end. It’s your project going to be another well intentioned attempt that’s eventually abandoned or causes more problems than it solves?
