Web-GUI — single server to whole serverfarms

Manage one machine or an entire fleet from one central web interface. No agents, no extra VMs.

Runs on FreeBSD, Illumos, Linux, macOS, Solaris & Windows

True cross-platform: one GUI for every major server OS. Mix and manage them all together.

Storage Spaces, S3 Object Storage & ZFS

Storage Spaces (Windows), S3-compatible object storage and Illumos-/Open-/Solaris-ZFS — all in one.

Base for "build your own branded" web-GUI

napp-it is a foundation — sublicense it, brand it. Build a custom NAS GUI on a proven Perl core.

AI/Claude-friendly — extend, debug, audit, help

Built-in guideline, docs and behaviours make it easy for AI assistants to understand, extend and audit the codebase.

Free for home use, cost-efficient for commercial use

Free for a single server or up to 3 servers at home. Pro licenses for commercial use are priced to stay affordable.

ZFS — the safest filesystem

napp-it SE

The original since 2009. Native ZFS on Solaris 11.4, OmniOS and OpenIndiana with the best SMB integration available.

• Solaris 11.4 · OmniOS · OpenIndiana
• Solaris 11.4 with native ZFS
• OmniOS · OpenIndiana with Illumos ZFS (OpenZFS compatible)
• FC · iSCSI · SMB multithreaded · NFS
• S3 Object Storage (Preview)
• Keyserver · Enclosure Maps
• User management (SE version)
• Free (without Pro features)
• napp-it CS is integrated in SE

napp-it CS

New since 2024. Web-GUI for any operating system — manage multiple ZFS servers from one central interface.

• Linux · Proxmox · Windows · macOS · FreeBSD
• No storage VM required, approx. 50KB RAM for remote server
• Storage Spaces + OpenZFS on Windows
• SMB Sharing · Replication any-to-any
• Free (local server management)
• Up to 3 servers free (Home)

Proxmox (Linux)*

ZFS Snapshots*

Instant snapshots with no performance overhead. Schedule automation. Replication to remote servers.

Replication*

ZFS replication from any server to any server. Incremental, efficient, optionally encrypted.

Data Security*

AES-256-GCM encryption. Keyserver integration. Checksums on all blocks. Automatic healing.

S3 Object Storage (Preview)*

S3-compatible object storage (beta). Compatible with rclone, restic, Nextcloud and all S3 clients.

Cluster & Replication*

S3 cluster and site replication (beta). ZFS replication any-to-any. SMB Storage LAN Mirror on Windows.

User Management*

Local users, Active Directory integration (SE). Quotas, SMB shares with Windows SIDs as native ZFS attributes.

Hybrid Storage*

Flash storage is small and expensive. Hard drives are large and affordable. ZFS hybrid storage with Special Vdev mirrors combines both — flash for performance-critical data, HD for the rest.

Monitoring*

Real-time performance. Disk health via S.M.A.R.T. Enclosure Maps for JBOD. Network virtualization.

CS Tools & Scripts*

Standalone Go tools for AI Helpdesk, console, sync, notifications and photo indexing — each with its own GitHub repository, installable straight from the GUI.
