Din AI-assistent.
Bor på serveren din.

OpenClaw er en AI-assistent med åpen kildekode som kjører på Appboxen din, tilgjengelig på alle planer. Den snakker gjennom chatappene du allerede bruker, ser filene og databasene dine, og kan logge inn i de andre appene dine for å få ting gjort.

Suveren sky
Din sky, dine vilkår.

Appbox er bygget på maskinvare og nettverksinfrastruktur vi kontrollerer, slik at du får bekvemmeligheten med skyapper uten å overlate plattformen til noen andres sky.

Eid infrastruktur

Ekte servere. Ekte nettverk. Ekte ansvar.

Vi foretrekker direkte kontroll over delene som betyr noe: datakraft, lagring, ruting, kapasitet og fysisk plassering. Det lar oss bygge Appbox som et produkt, ikke et tynt lag over en annen leverandør.

Ingen leid svart boks

Vi eier og drifter serverne appene dine kjører på, så ytelse og vedlikehold skjules ikke bak en hyperskala skyabstraksjon.

Nettverkskontroll

Ved å eie rutingstakken kan vi finjustere ruter, kapasitet, peering og feilrespons rundt Appbox-arbeidslaster i stedet for generiske skystandarder.

Tilpasset OCP-maskinvare

Vår tilpassede Open Compute Project-maskinvare er designet for effektiv luftstrøm, høy tetthet og rask service, slik at vi kan skalere kapasitet uten å sløse med strøm eller plass.

Tydelig datalokalitet

Infrastrukturen står i dedikerte rack hos Digital Realty AMS3 i Amsterdam, noe som gir deg et klart svar på hvor dataene dine hostes.

Bedre kostnadskontroll

Ved å eie plattformen unngår vi skyfakturering per forespørsel, som overraskende egress, IOPS eller båndbreddemultiplikatorer, og kan holde planene enkle.

Bygget for Appbox

Fordi maskinvaren og nettverket er vårt, kan vi designe rundt app-plasser, boost, lagring, sikkerhetskopier og appinstallasjoner med ett klikk fra grunnen av.

Restic REST Server icon
Restic REST Server

restic

Restic REST Server provides a high-performance HTTP backend for the restic backup program. It turns your Appbox server into a remote backup destination that any machine running the restic client can back up to — securely and efficiently over HTTPS. ## Features - High-performance HTTP REST backend for restic backup repositories - Authentication via username and password (htpasswd) - Private repositories — each user can only access their own backup data - Encrypted at rest — restic encrypts all data client-side before upload - Append-only mode available for ransomware protection - Lightweight Go binary with minimal resource usage - Compatible with all restic clients on Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD ## Ideal For - Self-hosters who want a private backup server instead of relying on cloud storage - Backing up multiple machines (desktops, laptops, other servers) to one central location - Users who want an alternative to S3, Backblaze B2, or other commercial backup targets ## Security All backup data is encrypted **client-side** using AES-256 before it ever reaches this server. The encryption key is derived from a password you set on your restic client — it never touches the server. Even with full access to the storage volume, backup data is useless without the client-side password. The server only stores opaque encrypted blobs. ## Good to Know - This is a backup **server** (storage backend). You need the [restic client](https://restic.net) installed on each machine you want to back up. - To connect from a restic client, use: `restic -r rest:https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@YOUR-DOMAIN/ init`

Restic REST Server provides a high-performance HTTP backend for the restic backup program. It turns your Appbox server into a remote backup destination that any machine running the restic client can back up to — securely and efficiently over HTTPS. ## Features - High-performance HTTP REST backend for restic backup repositories - Authentication via username and password (htpasswd) - Private repositories — each user can only access their own backup data - Encrypted at rest — restic encrypts all data client-side before upload - Append-only mode available for ransomware protection - Lightweight Go binary with minimal resource usage - Compatible with all restic clients on Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD ## Ideal For - Self-hosters who want a private backup server instead of relying on cloud storage - Backing up multiple machines (desktops, laptops, other servers) to one central location - Users who want an alternative to S3, Backblaze B2, or other commercial backup targets ## Security All backup data is encrypted **client-side** using AES-256 before it ever reaches this server. The encryption key is derived from a password you set on your restic client — it never touches the server. Even with full access to the storage volume, backup data is useless without the client-side password. The server only stores opaque encrypted blobs. ## Good to Know - This is a backup **server** (storage backend). You need the [restic client](https://restic.net) installed on each machine you want to back up. - To connect from a restic client, use: `restic -r rest:https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@YOUR-DOMAIN/ init`

Restic REST Server

restic

Restic REST Server provides a high-performance HTTP backend for the restic backup program. It turns your Appbox server into a remote backup destination that any machine running the restic client can back up to — securely and efficiently over HTTPS. ## Features - High-performance HTTP REST backend for restic backup repositories - Authentication via username and password (htpasswd) - Private repositories — each user can only access their own backup data - Encrypted at rest — restic encrypts all data client-side before upload - Append-only mode available for ransomware protection - Lightweight Go binary with minimal resource usage - Compatible with all restic clients on Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD ## Ideal For - Self-hosters who want a private backup server instead of relying on cloud storage - Backing up multiple machines (desktops, laptops, other servers) to one central location - Users who want an alternative to S3, Backblaze B2, or other commercial backup targets ## Security All backup data is encrypted **client-side** using AES-256 before it ever reaches this server. The encryption key is derived from a password you set on your restic client — it never touches the server. Even with full access to the storage volume, backup data is useless without the client-side password. The server only stores opaque encrypted blobs. ## Good to Know - This is a backup **server** (storage backend). You need the [restic client](https://restic.net) installed on each machine you want to back up. - To connect from a restic client, use: `restic -r rest:https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@YOUR-DOMAIN/ init`

Restic REST Server

restic

Restic REST Server provides a high-performance HTTP backend for the restic backup program. It turns your Appbox server into a remote backup destination that any machine running the restic client can back up to — securely and efficiently over HTTPS. ## Features - High-performance HTTP REST backend for restic backup repositories - Authentication via username and password (htpasswd) - Private repositories — each user can only access their own backup data - Encrypted at rest — restic encrypts all data client-side before upload - Append-only mode available for ransomware protection - Lightweight Go binary with minimal resource usage - Compatible with all restic clients on Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD ## Ideal For - Self-hosters who want a private backup server instead of relying on cloud storage - Backing up multiple machines (desktops, laptops, other servers) to one central location - Users who want an alternative to S3, Backblaze B2, or other commercial backup targets ## Security All backup data is encrypted **client-side** using AES-256 before it ever reaches this server. The encryption key is derived from a password you set on your restic client — it never touches the server. Even with full access to the storage volume, backup data is useless without the client-side password. The server only stores opaque encrypted blobs. ## Good to Know - This is a backup **server** (storage backend). You need the [restic client](https://restic.net) installed on each machine you want to back up. - To connect from a restic client, use: `restic -r rest:https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@YOUR-DOMAIN/ init`

Tilkoblede apper.
Ett økosystem.

Hver app har filsystemtilgang til delte deler av andre apper, alle koblet til hverandre via en sikker lokal nettverksbro.

Appbox Mesh

Appene dine kan jobbe sammen uten å forlate Appboxen din.

Apper kjører i sine egne områder, men Appbox gir dem kontrollerte måter å dele filer og kommunisere lokalt på. Det betyr at assistenter, dashbord, databaser, medieverktøy og synkroniseringsapper kan bli ett tilkoblet arbeidsområde.

Delt filsystem

Apper kan få direkte tilgang til delt lagring og godkjente appdata.

Sikker lokal bro

Tjenester kommuniserer over private lokale ruter i stedet for det offentlige internettet.

Arbeidsflyter på tvers av apper

Bygg arbeidsflyter der én app kan lese, behandle og publisere data for en annen.
