<p>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.</p>
<p>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:</p>
<ul>
<li>New build infrastructure allows for frequent releases of
system images and services in a semi-automated way.</li>
<li>New GuruDB database allows for a growing number of system
images and servers, and provides good caching to accelerate
pages.</li>
<li>Redesigned installation procedure, and addition of new
distributions Root-on-RAM and Root-on-Media aside from the
already supported Root-on-ZFS.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Many overhauled libraries and additions to the web
interface.</li>
<li>Many improvements to services, such as the new Gnome 3
graphical environment.</li>
</ul>
<p>ZFSguru version 0.3 will be released on the first of
August.</p>
