Guided ZFS pools
Create RAIDZ1, RAIDZ2, and RAIDZ3 from the WebUI with dedicated system-disk separation, quick-format defaults, topology review, usable-capacity guidance, and exact readback.

Product roadmap
One storage lifecycle. Every useful layer.
This is the public, product-facing view of Hoardarr's master feature register. It groups hundreds of implementation and validation items into capabilities you can actually use.
ARR community firstGuided by defaultAdvanced when requestedAll features included
Existing pool intake
Preview exportable pools, review topology and identity, then import with data, ACL, xattr, ownership, and permission-policy continuity.
Auto-detectManual fallbackMetadata-first
SnapRAID + mergerfs lifecycle
Stable application paths over heterogeneous disks, parity-aware growth, scheduled sync and scrub, managed drain, replacement, and retirement.
SnapRAIDmergerfsMixed disks
SMB file shares
Managed Windows-compatible shares, user and storage-group access, persistent mounts, and real write/read/hash/delete testing with telemetry.
WindowsACLsReal I/O
NFS exports
Linux and hypervisor file access with explicit client scope, identity-aware permissions, and real data-path verification.
LinuxProxmoxUID/GID
iSCSI block storage
Zvol-backed LUNs, target and initiator mapping, Windows Quick format, reconnect persistence, real block I/O, and a path toward multipath VM storage.
LIOLUNVM storage
Permission adoption
On imported storage, choose to preserve ownership, remap one identity to another, or apply a fresh permission policy.
PreserveRemapReplace
Live performance graphs
Throughput, read/write IOPS, latency, operation state, and per-device/pool views respond to actual SMB, NFS, and iSCSI workloads.
BandwidthIOPSLatency
Personal dashboard builder
A dedicated top-level dashboard where each user can add, remove, resize, and persist Grafana-style panels. Graph compression/expansion state will persist across page refreshes.
Persistent layoutPer userCustom metrics
Full hardware telemetry
SMART, NVMe, SAS paths, multipath health, controller state, thermals, endurance, queue depth, bandwidth saturation, pool pressure, and predictive alerts.
SMARTNVMeMultipath
Show-tech support bundle
A Cisco-style diagnostic package with logs, topology, configuration, relevant state, metrics, and system facts; large bundles enrolled and encrypted for optional project support.
DiagnosticsPKI packagingUser controlled
Degradation, scrub, and resilver
Detect failures, keep topology visible, replace devices, monitor rebuild progress, scrub data, and prove pool health after recovery.
HealthReplacementRecovery
Two-node high availability
Guided active/passive and active/active designs using heartbeat plus storage witness, monotonic ownership epochs, fencing, acknowledgements, and one writable owner.
FailoverQuorumFencing
Local storage replication
Matching local pools, ongoing snapshot-based synchronization, standby read-only state, lag reporting, lineage checks, and guided failover for two storage hosts.
ZFS send/receiveLagFailover
Three-plus-node cluster mode
A guided front end to a proven cluster foundation, with quorum state, ownership, failover health, errors, and recovery presented clearly in the Hoardarr dashboard.

Recommended goal-first setup and full layer-by-layer control feed the same models, policies, validation, plan, execution, and readback.

Bootable appliance installer
A Rufus-ready Ubuntu 24.04 amd64 ISO with guided installation, dedicated system-disk selection, first-run WebUI, recovery tooling, and offline-friendly release artifacts.

Hidden arcade
A complete pirate-themed isometric browser arcade game hidden in the WebUI, with physical-media treasure, ten bandwidth levels, score validation, and leaderboards.
TypeScriptPhaserEaster egg
One connected storage model
Every control belongs to a layer.
Physical device → path and partition → redundancy → pool → dataset or zvol → SMB/NFS share or iSCSI LUN → application-visible storage.
Hoardarr connects every control to detection, planning, validation, execution, and readback. Advanced mode reveals more of the same storage model.
