Rockstor is a Linux based NAS (Network Attached Storage) system. It's, of course, free and open source, and is akin to systems like TrueNAS, Open Media Vault, etc. Rockstor is based on CentOS Linux, so the underlying system is extremely stable.


Much like TrueNAS (used to be FreeNAS), Rockstor is installed using an attached monitor, mouse, and keyboard; but once installed is accessed and managed via the network through a terminal shell, or the very nice browser-based user interface.


One of the great things about Rockstor is their plugin application system. Where TrueNAS uses BSD jails to add on extra functionality like NextCloud, Backups, and so on; Rockstor makes use of Docker images to add on the same functionality and more.
