Rockstor is a Network Attached Storage (NAS) and private cloud storage solution based on advanced Linux technologies like BTRFS, Docker and others. In addition to standard NAS features like file sharing via NFS, Samba, SFTP and AFP, advanced features such as online volume management, CoW Snapshots, asynchronous replication, compression, and bitrot protection are supported based on BTRFS.
Rockstor also provides apps like ownCloud, Syncthing, OpenVPN, and Plex to name a few. Apps or "Rock-ons" are powered by a Docker-based application hosting framework. And new ones can be simply added. These Rock-ons, combined with advanced NAS features, turn Rockstor into a private cloud storage solution accessible from anywhere, giving users complete control of cost, ownership, privacy and data security.
Rockstor UI is written in Javascript, making it simple to manage everything from your Web browser. The backend is written in Python and exposes RESTful APIs to easily extend functionality!
