Rockstor is a specialist CentOS-based Linux distribution designed for Network Attached Storage (NAS) an

Suman Chakravartula has announced the release of Rockstor 3.8-11, a new stable version of the CentOS-based specialist Linux distribution designed for Network Attached Storage (NAS): "I am happy to announce the release of Rockstor 3.8-11. There are two significant changes Id like to highlight. We made several improvements to the Rock-Ons system, including making it easy for users and add their own custom Rock-Ons and 3rd party contributors to submit theirs for wider community. We added new Rock-Ons including Discoure and Jenkins. We also made the system significantly more robust and simpler. Expect more changes in the next cycle, but a lot of heavy lifting was done in this one. The second significant change is to the inner workings of the Web-UI. Weve revamped templating and overhauled existing templates using Handlebars. As a result, the UI is leaner, and faster and the code is a lot more readable and simpler. There are many other improvements and bug fixes to S.M.A.R.T, NUT and SSL certificate management, to name a few.
