ZFSguru started as front-end to ZFS but has since grown + into a multifunctional server appliance with its own unique + features. While the project is still in early development, it + already offers multiple unique features not found in other + projects. Unlike similar projects, nothing is stripped away from + the base operating system, meaning ZFSguru behaves as a normal + FreeBSD installation and thus is very versatile. The web-interface + is designed to unite both novice and advanced users, providing + both very easy to use basic functionality as well as features to + be appreciated by more experienced users. The modular nature of + the project combats the danger of bloat, whilst still allowing + extended functionality to be easily deployed.

+ +

On the 15th of August, version 0.3 of ZFSguru was released. Some + highlights of the new version:

+ +
    +
  • New build infrastructure allows for frequent releases of + system images and services in a semi-automated way.
    • +
  • A new GuruDB database allows for a growing number of system + images and servers, and provide good caching to accelerate + pages.
    • +
  • The installation procedure was given a major + overhaul.
    • +
  • In addition to the LiveCD, USB images are now available. + The USB image supports both legacy MBR bootcode and UEFI boot + support.
    • +
  • Many libraries in the web-interface have been + overhauled, in addition to many other additions to the + web interface.
    • +
  • Many improvements were made to optional add-on services, + such as the new Gnome 3 graphical environment.
    • +
+ +

Other progress made in the months July, August and + September:

+ +
    +
  • System image builds 001, 002, 003 and 004 have been + released for all supported branches: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 + (-STABLE) and 11.0 (-CURRENT).
    • +
  • Work on the 0.4 web-interface has started, which focuses + on improving network support in the web-interface.
    • +
  • Work on a new visual theme for the web-interface has + started. The new interface is likely to be included in the upcoming + 0.4 release.
    • +
  • A new master server is being prepared, which is likely to be + operational in December.
    • +
  • A new website is being worked on, to be launched the 1st + of January, 2016.
    • +
+ + + + +

The new Gnome 3 desktop does not work for everyone + and still has issues. Anyone capable of diagnosing these issues + can give the Gnome 3 LiveCD a try. Please see the linked + forum thread for more information.

+ + + +

Several ports fail to compile with our own build + infrastructure, and require bug reports in order to get + them fixed upstream.

+ + + +

A 'State of the Project 2015' is due in Q4, providing an + overview for future development of the project.
