Napp-it a free NAS web gui for Nexenta or eon/opensolaris
This looks very promising. Nexenta has long been an excellent OpenSolaris based distro that gave the user community a ZFS base filesystem with apt-get functionality all in a web gui configured NAS box package. They had released the core of this OS without the configuration programs as Nexenta Core…
This is the first how-to and implementation I’ve seen for taking the Nexenta Core package and turning it into a turnkey NAS box with all the ZFS, CIFS, and iScsi goodness that Nexenta Core has to offer. I’m thinking of cranking up one as a virtual machine over the weekend… :)
