It's a nice article and it's good to see you adopted automatic Docker installation but...you wrote an article about self-hosting, and then published it on...Medium...?

Yeah, I know. I chose it mainly because a lot of people read it, and I’m curious to see if Safebox sparks interest and what people think about it, this felt like a good way to get some feedback from less technical audience. You got any recommendation where it would be better to publish?
If it was posted on a FOSS platform like Write.as, Ghost or Wordpress, you would have gotten away with it. Even if you didn't host it yourself.
Thanks a lot, I’ll take a look at these platforms.
I'm glad you posted it. Wherever, as long as I can read it. I appreciate the other person's spirit too, but just glad for knowledge being shared.
actually well written article, will check this out. I just started with self hosting and this seems like something worth looking into!
thanks a lot, it’s very kind of you! Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or need any help with it. Have a nice one :)
I’ll be publishing more pieces soon
Awesome. I look forward to reading more. I had never heard of SafeBox until about a month or so ago. Seems like a great platform to go from zero to hero in no time flat. I keep hoping that offerings like SafeBox, et al, will gel with the general public and expose them to the world of self hosting and make it not as scary for beginners just striking out. Thanks for the article. Bookmarked, and will be shared.
Nice work. I would read more articles like these.
