Appliance Recipes

Each recipe turns a kldload install into a single-purpose appliance — built on ZFS-on-root, so every one comes with snapshots, rollback, and reproducible redeployment for free. Start from any distro; the recipe does the rest.

Storage & NAS

NAS Server

A full-featured NAS with ZFS, Samba, NFS, and web-based management — replacing TrueNAS or Synology.

dRAID Storage

High-density storage with ZFS dRAID — faster rebuilds, distributed spares, and petabyte-scale pools.

Plex on ZFS

Plex Media Server on ZFS with hardware transcoding, automated library management, and snapshot-based backups.

Automated Seedbox

Automated torrent management with ratio tracking, media organization, and ZFS snapshot protection.

Network & Edge

Firewall & Gateway

Turn kldload into a network gateway with nftables, traffic shaping, DNS filtering, and VPN termination.

Edge gateway for IoT sensors — MQTT broker, data collection, local processing, and secure uplink.

Private cloud infrastructure with VMs, containers, object storage, and self-service provisioning.
