Open Source Linux Storage Software

Info-ZIP portable compression/archiver utilities (Zip, UnZip, WiZ, etc.)

Pluggable foundation blocks for building loosely coupled distributed apps. Includes implementations in Redis, Azure, AWS, RabbitMQ and in memory (for development). When building several big cloud applications we found a lack of great solutions (that's not to say there aren't solutions out there) for many key pieces to building scalable distributed applications while keeping the development experience simple. Wanted to build against abstract interfaces so that we could easily change implementations. Wanted the blocks to be dependency injection friendly. We were initially using an open-source Redis cache client but then it turned into a commercial product with high licensing costs. Not only that but there weren't any in-memory implementations so every developer was required to set up and configure Redis. We initially looked at NServiceBus (a great product) but it had high licensing costs (they have to eat too) and was not OSS friendly.

Jar Installer is a java based program for creating self-extracting installation packages through a GUI. Just select your files, logo and create a jar file which can be double clicked for installation.

ReHash is an easy-to-use console-based hash calculation tool written in C++. It supports many algorithms and output formats and it can be fully configured using some of the many command-line arguments which can be passed to the tool.

SeaweedFS is a distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and data lake, to store and serve billions of files fast! Blob store has O(1) disk seek, local tiering, cloud tiering. Filer supports cross-cluster active-active replication, Kubernetes, POSIX, S3 API, encryption, Erasure Coding for warm storage, FUSE mount, Hadoop, WebDAV. SeaweedFS is an independent Apache-licensed open source project with its ongoing development made possible because of the community. SeaweedFS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system. There are two objectives, to store billions of files, and to serve the files fast! SeaweedFS started as an Object Store to handle small files efficiently. Instead of managing all file metadata in a central master, the central master only manages volumes on volume servers, and these volume servers manage files and their metadata.

Radmind is a suite of Unix command-line tools and a server designed to remotely administer the file systems of multiple Unix machines. For Mac OS X, there's also a graphical interface.

SystemImager is software that makes the installation of Linux to masses of similar machines relatively easy. It makes software distribution, configuration, and operating system updates easy, and can also be used for content distribution.

This is a autorun menu for cd's. It link a name with a file and a short description. It can execute/open files, copy directories, execute commands, etc and it is really easy to use. (Spanish)

m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.

Jar Ajar is a JAR-based self-extractor for zip files. Zip up files and package them with descriptive images and text using Jar Ajar's graphical interface. When recipients launch the resulting JAR, Jar Ajar guides users through the unzip process.

Enables conversion of an applet into a normal Java application/Windows/Linux executable.For this application, the target user is an applet developer. Once he has completed the applet development, he can use this application to create an executable file.

Dino - Simple File Manager for GNU/Linux.

A software administration system for GNU/Linux systems with capabilities for network transparent package management, host-to-host data copying, creating tar archives with embedded signatures, and use as a directory content integrity checker.

Plugins for Maven 1.x (http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/) - manage all aspects of your project (tests, docs, distribution) from a single project descriptor! This project provides plugins that are not bundled with Maven due to differing licenses.

The Rembo Wizard is a program for network based PC disk image management. It is based on a commercial product, called Rembo Toolkit. All current and future Rembo users are encouraged to try this highly automated Rembo Toolkit program.

This project has a lively SVN repository for build recipes, over 1000 F/OSS softwares are available. The tool "pkgbuild" is for building packages on Solaris 11/OpenIndiana from RPM-like spec files. The tool also runs on OmniOS. If you want, you can create new style IPS packages and old style SVR4 packages for Solaris 10. The tool is not updated frequently, but the following "build recipes" for pkgbuild is updated every day. For a few hundred build-recipes see the sub-project "spec-files-extra" or "SFE". We already have stacks of e.g. multimedia players mplyer/vlc or postfix/dovecot/cyrus-sasl/spamfiltering. But there is so much more to be added! Volunteers to the build-recipes are always welcome. Please ask on the mailing list or irc://irc.freenode.org/#pkgbuild Please proceed now with the link below and remember to visit "SFE" on the left and browse through the available packages list in SVN. Or go for one of the binary repositories with ready-to-use IPS packages.

tardiff is a perl utility that enables easy patch creation for two different versions of a build/install tree in tarball format. tardiff uses advanced mechanisms to determine differences (visit homepage for a thorough description).

ASlinks generate and manage a hiberarchy tree to contain symbol-links what are linked to the real files and directories. This is usefull to supply a file share service with clearly file list.

AVD is a continuation of the swim project. The goal is to create a suitable SQL server from swim's not-installed DB, and to maintain the swim client. AVD will be used as a gBootRoot method.

Xinstaller is a program written in C for Linux. It will allow you to make an installer file for your programs. The user will have only to start the executable and to answer some easy questions(mostly "next" :)).

Build System for Java offers an enhanced build environment that ties together deployment instructions, environment configuration and source code as a releaseable entity. A new paradigm for configuration management!

bdiff is a tool to create a patch that can be used to transform one binary file into another (related) binary file, similiar to what "diff" does with text files.

This program will allow users to avoid redownloading whole binary files. Instead if they already have an older file, they can just download a patch, created with BinaryPatch and use it, with the old file, to create a new file.

BlackPack is a utility to aid in creating installable RedHat packages (.rpm). The goal behind the project is to make developing for RedHat based Linux distributions more appealing, with an easy to use interface for packaging applications, artwork, media, themes, etc.

A system for tracking the steps to compile and install software. Inspired by the "Linux From Scratch" book. Addresses issues: "What steps did I use to compile 'foo'?, what files did it install? I need to recompile but don't like typing all commands over.
