SimpNAS Beta Released

[johnny]

Hello I wanted to post on here regarding a new project we have been working on called SimpNAS. Its similar to OpenMediaVault or FreeNAS but simpler and more basic. Its currently in Beta but we are looking to have a stable release by the time Kobol ARM NAS gets released. It can be installed intel or arm based computers as long as it has two hard drives one for the OS and one for Data. For example we have it installed on an ODroid HC2, but can be installed on any PC. Feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Check it out here https://simpnas.com

Thanks for looking

Olá, eu queria postar aqui sobre um novo projeto em que estamos trabalhando chamado SimpNAS. É semelhante ao OpenMediaVault ou FreeNAS, mas mais simples e mais básico. Está atualmente na versão beta, mas esperamos ter uma versão estável até o lançamento do Kobol ARM NAS. Ele pode ser instalado em computadores baseados em intel ou arm, desde que tenha dois discos rígidos, um para o sistema operacional e outro para dados. Por exemplo, ele está instalado em um ODroid HC2, mas pode ser instalado em qualquer PC. O feedback será muito apreciado.

The project is really cool, a pity that just like OMV and FreeNAS needs 2 disks to be able to run … I am an OMV user for several years, but this week I had to go back and install Zentyal because I needed to upload a fileserver to a project with only 1 HD and backup in the cloud and none of the options above that are the ones I use the most, supports this. =(

Great news, I will follow the project, if you have a page on Facebook or Twitter to follow also where the news comes out let me know because I am interested in following, because the project looks quite interesting. =)
I just can’t test this month because I’m moving to another apartment and have 2 systems deployments at the same time. =(
But as soon as possible I will stop to test and give feedback.
