Web-based admin of Linux SAN+NAS

I'm planning on building a SAN+NAS (AoE, NFS, CIFS). I'd like to have web-based tool capable of managing core (eg. AoE, NFS, CIFS) and related (eg. networking, mdraid, lvm, smart) services/functions. I've looked into some of the big names like Webmin, but they seem like too much. I'd also like to actually learn something along the way, but starting from scratch seems daunting. Any suggestions (tools, frameworks, FMs, etc)?


But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

No idea for a web interface... using ssh works for me.

Re: Web-based admin of Linux SAN+NAS

If it doesn't have to be Arch then I'd look at some of the pre-built appliances availbale such as FreeNAS, NAS4Free, unRAID etc....

You won't learn anything but you will be up and running in minutes instead of hours/days. Personally I've used FreeNAS at clents sites with no issues (at home my storage is handled by a VM running Solaris/ZFS/napp-it).

Re: Web-based admin of Linux SAN+NAS

It's mostly about learning and "something-to-do", otherwise I'd probably go with FreeNAS.

In that case I'm with graysky, SSH al the way smile

Re: Web-based admin of Linux SAN+NAS

There's always webmin.
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/webmin/

It doesn't work too well with BTRFS, but I enjoy it as a way to get a GUI overview of systemd.

Edit: Reading the OP is always a good idea.
If it seems too bloated for you, you can actually remove all the modules you don't need.
