FreeNAS Manager

FreeNAS Manager is an unofficial management app that can be used to monitor and, to some degree, control a FreeNAS server. It is tested and working on FreeNAS 9.2, 9.3 and 9.10 (see below for version-specific issues).
Features:
- View basic server info (IP, version etc.)
- View volumes and their storage space status
- Initiate scrub on volumes
- View datasets and their storage space status
- View jails and their status (running, IP, autostart)
- Start/stop jail
- Reboot, shutdown and wake (Wake on LAN) server
- HTTPS support
- including for selfsigned and/or invalid certificates (checkbox in settings)
- Button for opening Web GUI in browser
- Support for multiple servers
- Open jail IP address in browser
- View disks
- View number of available updates and apply them
- View/start/stop plugins
- View and run cron jobs
- View and run rsync tasks
- View Alerts

Planned features (not yet implemented):
- View shares and (maybe) allow opening them in external app
- Widget
- Offline support (show values from last successful connect)
- Reporting (graphs!).

The API of FreeNAS 9.2 (and earlier) is different, so there are a couple of limitations when using that version:
- The server version isn't available, so it is just shown as 9.2 or earlier.
- Jails can't be started/stopped
- Volume storage is not the sum of all datasets. It is the same on the Web GUI.

On FreeNAS 9.10 starting and stopping a plugin currently doesn't work, which is an bug in FreeNAS. I have reported it and will keep an eye on their progress towards fixing it.

Privacy information:This app does not under ANY circumstances contact ANY other server than the one you provided in settings. In other words: Your password (and all other information) is safe
- even from me. There are NO ADS
- nor will there ever be.

Open source? Not yet, but I am strongly considering open sourcing this app. It depends on the support I get from you guys :)

Why is it not free?Because I don't have that much time for development in my spare time and this is an attempt to save a little for a FreeNAS build :)

FreeNAS 10?Yes, it will be supporting FreeNAS 10, but the server API is not finished yet (FreeNAS feature #10687).

Don't hesitate to contact me If you have any problems, suggestions or comments.

I'm in doubt about this app, it looks kinda weird, especially for it being paid. But that's not very important if it would be done well otherwise. However, a lot of functionality isn't provided. Jails, VMs, plugins, Cron Jobs, Rsync etc all are read only, or provide basic options like "run task" the web UI of FreeNAS isn't really usable when on mobile, but this isn't a good alternative either. but for a quick look on the disk usage it's okay.

Has worked very well for freenas multiple versions in the past few years. Power controls (WOL, reboot, power off) worked extremely well so far. I moved on to truenas core since freenas is deprecated. Power off control stopped working.

Looks great and what is there works well. Personally I lament that all the diagnostics are missing, e.g. I can't check on disk temperatures or similar, but I suppose everyone will always have a "favorite" missing feature.

Nothing as simple as a save button when adding a new server. The only way I could get to save the current was to use the option menu to add another one then trash the next new one. It should be so silke there is no way I'm missing how to save, but I am. App breaking oversight.

App used to work fine with freenas. With update to truenas, app does not work anymore. Please provide support with truenas for this paid app. Update : Thanks for the quick response. After selecting 11.2+ in settings the app communicates with truenas.

What's the purpose of this app? It gives no option to save the server information once you type it in. You have to type it in every time you use it and all it does is take you to a web page in chrome.

Mmm..pretty empty .. missing services. 'fetching alers' forever, that'd be so cool to show these in freenas 11.3. can't in/lock drives which don't require password in UI. Hope enhancements will come

Buggy. Crashes opening disk menu, and most other menus are blank. Working with a fresh install of freenas 11.3.

Ole. S. Aug 14, 2020     

Dear developers, this is good application, became even better with recent update, but there are some features which also expected, like ability to manage services and https support for jails and plugins (FreeNAS-11.3-U4.1, using iocages). Thank you

Eri. M. Apr 4, 2021     

I'll give it 5 stars for having no ads. But, update it to work with truenas scale, please. Disregard, it DOES work with scale. Very nice app. Looks great!

The app was fine till FreeNAS 11.3. After upgrading to TrueNAS core it stopped working. Only can view Jails. Nothing else works. Maybe enable API access to support 2 factor authentication.

Pau. R. Nov 7, 2019     

Not a lot of usable features for a paid app. What it has is done well but constant crashes accessing disk information caused me to refund and uninstall

Don. F. Jul 24, 2020     

Not all functionality is working, needs fixing. Any updates planned for this app in the future? **** Your new update is not available yet to download.. Please check.. ***Update: This update has fixed those issues. Thanks.

Tho. L. Oct 14, 2018     

As others have said could look better and have more features. I will keep it in hope the developer puts in the work to improve the app.

Lew. M. Jul 26, 2020     

Good potential. Doesn't work with TrueNAS Core. Detects it as <9 or older..

hat. f. May 2, 2019

Jas. B. Sep 28, 2021     

Doesn't show anything, just blank. Terrible app

Jos. T. Dec 15, 2020     

App crashes when selecting disk

P. L. Nov 9, 2020     

This is a good application. Will it upgraded to support TrueNAS?

Gea. M. Dec 31, 2020

Here is my reason for giving 3 stars you do not reply to other peoples reviews when you do here on the play store i will give you the other 2 and don't ask what can I be helped with go answers others reviews

Fil. C. Jul 27, 2020     

Just asking how does this connect to the server? ssh?

Rob. M. Nov 15, 2019     

Won't even install!

Completely useless!

Str. A. Apr 16, 2018     

For my use case does exactly what i need. I wanted to be lazy and lay in bed to check the volume / disk usage of my freenas from my phone. This app let's me do eaxctly that plus a little more. Also like that it shows me any alerts.
