Welcome to Son of Anton!

Son of Anton is a collection of SaltStack states and scripts for automating ZFS storage builds.
It sets up a ZFS filesystem, creates datasets, and shares them out with samba and NFS making it easy to spin up a reproducible storage lab. Why Son of Anton? Check out the wiki page.

If you're using Parallels on macOS there is a Packer build that will automate the build by using a golden image. See the wiki for help.

Quickstart

1. Download an ISO from Debian and build a VM
2. Attach two 5GB and two 10GB virtual disks
3. Boot up and create your VM.
4. cd into /opt and clone this repo to /opt
5. cd into /opt/mustyStor/bootStrap and chmod +x the bootStrap.sh script
6. Run the script
7. Once complete you have a working ZFS build with 3 datasets and 3 shares! You can access the SMB shares with the user test and password test.

Check the wiki page for more detailed instructions! Happy storage'ing!

This project is supplied as is and has been tested several times on Debian 13 VM running in Parallels.
