Summary
Even geeks often have a hard time finding out how to install web apps, or regularly backing them up or upgrading them. For non-geeks, it's totally impossible, which is one of the reasons they need to go to the big silos instead of the indie web. UBOSbox is intended to make this much more accessible to geeks and humans, so everybody can have their own site under they own control.
UBOSboxes run UBOS (pronounced You-Boss), a Linux distro optimized for personal servers and IoT Devices.
