“A modern web-based management interface for ZFS pools, datasets, snapshots, and SMART disk monitoring built with Python FastAPI and HTMX. Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD.”

WebZFS v0.75:

WebZFS is an open-source, lightweight web interface for managing OpenZFS systems. It provides centralized ZFS administration, monitoring, replication, and maintenance directly through a browser.

• No database required: Interacts directly with the operating system.
• Authentication: Uses existing system accounts through PAM.
• Security: Binds to localhost by default; remote access through SSH tunneling is recommended.

Key Features

• Dashboard: Pool health, storage capacity, CPU, memory, and ARC statistics.
• Pool Management: Create, import, export, scrub, and inspect ZFS pools and vdev topology.
• Dataset Management: Create, rename, mount, unmount, and configure filesystems and volumes.
• Snapshots: Create, rollback, clone, rename, and compare snapshots. Supports Sanoid automation.
• Replication: Native ZFS send/receive with Syncoid integration for local and remote replication.
• Observability: Pool history, system events, kernel logs, and ZFS module parameters.
• Performance: Real-time I/O statistics, ARC hit rates, process monitoring, and capacity analysis.
• Health Analysis: SMART monitoring, scrub verification, disk health checks, and pool topology visualization.
• Fleet View: Monitor multiple ZFS servers through SSH from a centralized dashboard.

Additional Administration Tools

• Browser-based shell terminal and file manager.
• Built-in text editor.
• SMART disk monitoring and testing.
• SSH connection manager.
• Scrub scheduling and audit logs.
• Read-only system service monitoring.
• 26 interface themes and configurable session timeouts.
