ZFSguru is a multifunctional server appliance with a strong + emphasis on storage. ZFSguru began as simple web-interface + frontend to ZFS, but has since grown into a &os; derivative + with its own infrastructure. The scope of the project has + also grown with the inclusion of add-on packages that add + functionality beyond the traditional NAS functionality found + in similar product like FreeNAS and NAS4Free. ZFSguru aims to + be a true multifunctional server appliance that is extremely + easy to set up and can unite both novice and more experienced + users in a single user interface. The modular nature of the + project combats the danger of bloat, whilst still allowing + extended functionality to be easily deployed.

+ +

The ZFSguru project is nearing the release of version 0.3, a + major milestone for the project. In this new version, major + work has been done on fundamentals. An overview:

+ +

New build infrastructure allows for frequent releases of + system images and services in a semi-automated way.
New GuruDB database allows for a growing number of system + images and servers, and provides good caching to accelerate + pages.
Redesigned installation procedure, and addition of new + distributions Root-on-RAM and Root-on-Media aside from the + already supported Root-on-ZFS.
Both LiveCD and USB images will be provided. The USB + image also has UEFI boot support working alongside the + regular MBR boot support so both are available.
Many overhauled libraries and additions to the web + interface.
Many improvements to services, such as the new Gnome 3 + graphical environment.

+ +

ZFSguru version 0.3 will be released on the first of + August.
