The SnapRAID project is evolving. We are excited to invite the community to
test the SnapRAID Daemon (snapraidd), a specialized background service that
transforms the manual SnapRAID CLI into an automated, "always-on" ecosystem.

This release introduces a modern orchestration layer designed to handle array
maintenance so you don't have to.

WHAT'S NEW?

• Always-On Automation: Scheduled sync and scrub cycles with integrated safety
  thresholds.
• Live Monitoring: Real-time SMART health analysis and predictive failure tracking.
• REST API & Dashboard: Remote control and visibility via an embedded web server.
• Power Management: Spin-down aware monitoring to save energy and hardware wear.
• Notifications: Built-in support for easy integration with services
  like ntfy.sh and Healthchecks.io via heartbeat and result hooks.
• Mobile-Ready UI: A responsive web interface that is easily accessible on
  mobile devices, when paired with services like Tailscale for secure remote
  access.

STILL OPEN SOURCE

The daemon remains fully licensed under the GPL v3, ensuring the project stays
free and open for everyone.

JOIN THE BETA

The SnapRAID Daemon is currently in a restricted beta phase. It is NOT yet
available on the main website.

You can find the exclusive download and the new documentation ONLY at:

https://www.snapraid.it/beta

IMPORTANT: For this initial phase, the daemon is Linux-only. It also requires
the new SnapRAID release candidate 14.0 to function.

This is a beta release with significant architectural changes. While we have
worked hard on stability, please be aware that things may not fully work as
expected in all environments.

CONTRIBUTE & FEEDBACK

Your insights are critical during this Beta phase. We are looking for more than
just bug reports—we want to hear how the daemon fits into your specific storage
workflow.

• Bug Reports: Encountered an edge case? Open an issue on GitHub.
• Feature Ideas: Have a suggestion for the REST API or the Web UI?
• Success Stories: Tell us about your hardware setup and notification flow.

Together, we are building the next generation of SnapRAID automation.
Thank you for being part of the evolution!
