A modern, security-first Linux NAS operating system, built on .NET 10.

---

FortOS runs bare-metal via a Debian 12 ISO or inside Docker for evaluation. All management surfaces expose a unified REST/gRPC API and a terminal CLI; Docker containers are first-class citizens alongside native services (SMB, NFS, rsync, snapshots).

🗄️ Storage	Disk discovery, RAID (mdadm), ext4/XFS/Btrfs/ZFS, SMART monitoring, per-share quotas
🔗 Sharing	SMB, NFS, FTP, recycle bin with retention policies
🛡️ Protection	Snapshots (btrfs/LVM thin), rsync backup, cloud backup, point-in-time restore
🔐 Security	NasToken capability tokens, fine-grained NAbility permissions, data classification, HMAC-chained audit
