FreeNAS Manager

FreeNAS Manager is an unofficial management app that can be used to monitor and, to some degree, control a FreeNAS server. It is tested and working on FreeNAS 9.2, 9.3 and 9.10 (see below for version-specific issues).

Features:

- View basic server info (IP, version etc.)

- View volumes and their storage space status

- Initiate scrub on volumes

- View datasets and their storage space status

- View jails and their status (running, IP, autostart)

- Start/stop jail

- Reboot, shutdown and wake (Wake on LAN) server

- HTTPS support - including for selfsigned and/or invalid certificates (checkbox in settings)

- Button for opening Web GUI in browser

- Support for multiple servers

- Open jail IP address in browser

- View disks

- View number of available updates and apply them

- View/start/stop plugins

- View and run cron jobs

- View and run rsync tasks

- View Alerts

Planned features (not yet implemented):

- View shares and (maybe) allow opening them in external app

- Widget

- Offline support (show values from last successful connect)

- Reporting (graphs!).

The API of FreeNAS 9.2 (and earlier) is different, so there are a couple of limitations when using that version:

- The server version isn't available, so it is just shown as 9.2 or earlier.

- Jails can't be started/stopped

- Volume storage is not the sum of all datasets. It is the same on the Web GUI.

On FreeNAS 9.10 starting and stopping a plugin currently doesn't work, which is an bug in FreeNAS. I have reported it and will keep an eye on their progress towards fixing it.

Privacy information:

This app does not under ANY circumstances contact ANY other server than the one you provided in settings. In other words: Your password (and all other information) is safe - even from me. There are NO ADS - nor will there ever be.

Open source?

Not yet, but I am strongly considering open sourcing this app. It depends on the support I get from you guys :)

Why is it not free?

Because I don't have that much time for development in my spare time and this is an attempt to save a little for a FreeNAS build :)

FreeNAS 10?

Yes, it will be supporting FreeNAS 10, but the server API is not finished yet (FreeNAS feature #10687).
