We created Safebox mainly to make self-hosting easier, and proper, complete documentation is definitely something we want to provide, it’s already in the works. We also thought a lot of people might learn from it, but the scope is huge, so we’re still figuring out the right balance.

Should we cover the basic concepts too? How deep should we go? Introducing the software itself is the easy part, explaining all the related concepts in a clear, non-technical way is the real challenge.

Our goal isn’t to turn Safebox into a full-on cybersecurity course, but we do want users to understand what’s happening and why certain features matter, so they don’t feel lost.

As for the sources you mentioned, I have to admit I’m not entirely sure either. During my university studies I only touched on cybersecurity partially, mostly around the risks users face and how they respond. Yes, there definitely needs to be some basic guidance on security, what the main risks are and how to keep yourself safe. Honestly, I think this could work even better as a community project, where different people can contribute their own approaches and share experiences on how they protect their setups and what has worked for them.
