remote management gui?
Is there a btrfs management interface that can be accessed/used remotely? I'm talking about an (independant - not a distro) interface like Rockstor or Truenas Scale. I've been searching until my eyes bug out of my skull and I can't find anything. Good peeps of reddit, please am I missing something? I've found plenty of great projects but not what I'm looking for: snapper-gui - single purpose/not remote snapper - single purpose / not a gui and I hate it (sorry) yast - distro specific https://github.com/yourbsod/btrfs-gui - vaporware? timeshift / autosnap - local only and single purpose btrfs-assistant - not remote https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance - different purpose and not a gui buttermanager - I was unable to try but seems to require grub-btrfs
- do we need to run maintenance commands like scrub every now and then?
- Is my setup plan okay, or should i give up on btrfs?

btrfs-scrub timer not working cron not working am i missing something?
The btrfsmaintainence project also has services that cover scrub along with other services you might consider running regularly which are set up to not conflict and run at the same time.

Missing Space - BTRFS Balance is the Answer?
Hello. I have a 2 TB nvme mounted as a subvol that contains dockervols. I recently noticed this discrepancy df -h | grep nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p1 1.9T 1.3T 569G 70% /data vs. sudo du -h -d 0 /data 1.1T /data I tried using the btdu tool but I am not sure if I had it installed correctly as it didn't show the output like the examples shown on the github (https://github.com/CyberShadow/btdu)

Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
btdu fastest and easiest tool to analyze space usage in compressed btrfs with lots of snapshots (especially in expert mode)
- Ncdu – NCurses Disk Usage
-
More trouble with BTRFS 😑
It doesn't seem BTRFS's fault. You could run btdu on your subvolumes to understand what's going on.
-
Defrag eats space?
However, honestly, the best way to get a quick overview of where all your space is being used is btdu.
-
Space allocation
If you want to diagnose where you think there may be space used up that you don't quite understand, then btrfs fi du and third party tools btdu and compsize are useful.
-
Disk usage after large deletion
And btdu to get an overall impressions of where space is being used if the above isn't useful enough.
