  • zfsbootmenu

    ZFS Bootloader for root-on-ZFS systems with support for snapshots and native full disk encryption

    • These are special-purpose scripts used to build an Arch test environment for ZFSBootMenu, which you should consider for sensible booting of Linux on ZFS roots. GRUB will eventually lead to regret.

  • ALEZ

    Arch Linux Easy ZFS installer

    • If you're having trouble getting ZFS up and running on the live image I can recommend the ALEZ ISO. It has a ZFS installer too but I personally never liked the ZFS conventions people keep using (such as making arbitrary ROOT/ dataset then putting everything inside it, and naming the zfs pool something generic like 'rpool'. No thanks).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • root-on-zfs-systemdboot

    Dual-boot Root-on-ZFS config for Debian w/ systemd-boot

    • Switched over to systemd-boot and managing zfs became so much easier. Maybe this can help? https://github.com/98h398hrpohpoai/root-on-zfs-systemdboot
