Sure, many of you are actually excited about the new Apple Ipad, but I've also some quite exciting news (at least for me ;-)) about the PulsarOS frontend. I must admit that I'm not a designer nor a developer. I'm doing this because I like to learn new things and to create something unique and new. That means it takes some time to get the basic frontend out in the wild, but I'll give my best to get this starting. What actually works are the following things:
- Pool creation
- Pool List
- Volume creation
- Volume delete
- Volume list
- Overview Information
Things that need to done for 0.5alpha:
- Pool delete (with dependencies on the existing volumes)
- Disk status (S.M.A.R.T)
- Share configuration (ISCSI, SAMBA)
- Login
With this items you will get a basic configuration gui to create fileshares. This should be the first milestone for the 0.5alpha. I hope I'll get this out soon, so you can play around with the system and report bugs and feature requests.
Screenshots will follow after the css design cleanup.
Update: Images are available:
Volumes:
Pools:
Overview:

I'm sitting in front of my computer, thinking about the plugin system of PulsarOS. Personally, I like the way how Apple integrated the Appstore into the IPhone (of course without the extremely bad limitations). What do you think about such an integration into PulsarOS?
Main Features:
- Writing Plugins with connection to a future PulsarOS API (GUI, installation, deinstallation, upgrade....)
- Approval process to ensure high quality standards
- Only one repository for all plugins and upgrades - every plugin can be installed within the PulsarOS Gui
- Plugin configuration accessible through the GUI
Please write your feedback as a comment to this entry.

Today I started to design the new layout of the PulsarOS installer. Do you like it?

Hi again,
after my last post two months ago many things happened. A first viewable thing is the new homepage I've created. I switched my CMS system from Redmine to Joomla!. Joomla! is more powerful as Redmine in terms of documentation and extendability. Another change was the switch from Opensolaris to Linux. I'm still excited about the new possibilities with Linux as operating system. This points me to the next news.
I've managed to create a first version of PulsarOS on Linux. The Installer is ready and the base system works. I'm still far away from another release, because I need to switch the INIT system to a more modern version (like initng or upstart) and change the administration code of my scripts, but it is working and the main switch is done.
If anything works as I've planned it, a new release can be released during the christmas vacations.
@All registered Redmine Users: Please register again on the new Joomla! page. The old Redmine page will be replaced in the next few weeks.
Cheers
Thomas
