Its the same as CP/SB/SabNZBD but used for music :)

Well, let's be careful with our terminology. If we host a plugin, it's "official" as far as the users are concerned since there's nothing in the plugin UI which differentiates one type from another, nor do we pop up any kind of warning saying "This is an unofficial plugin and not supported by the FreeNAS project." If we had done all of that, then we could say this, but we didn't so we can't. :) At the very least, we can forward any bug report(s) for such plugins to their authors or, if the bug is a particularly bad one (which this one is not), decide to stop hosting it.
You already can configure your own plugins index url in Plugins -> Configuration.Maybe support for adding 3rd party listings of plugins. Is appcafe more than a web server and directory of PBIs?
Just because you can install a package with a "apt-get install something" doesn't mean debian/ubuntu/whatever is responsible for all bugs of "something".
I've heard from a friend that he used a Raspberri Pi as a VPN server and he could do 10Mb/sec throughput. For most people in the USA that exceeds the upload capacity of their home connection anyway.
Hi folks,
Those of you who have clicked your plugins icons today will notice we have 4 new plugins on http://www.appcafe.org/freenas now! Thanks to everyone who worked to make that happen - we're well on our way towards making the dynamic plugin feature of 9.1.x a worthwhile investment!
For those who'd like to create and host your own plugins, please feel free to contact us (you can contact me directly, if you like, or address your request to the freenas-forum account) and we'll be happy to host your plugin(s) on appcafe after a short review to make sure they actually work. :)
We're also working on an upload request page there, so it's more automated, but it's not quite ready yet, so for now just ask us directly and we'll make it happen!
If you'd like more information on creating FreeNAS plugins, please see the documentation we've created.
Thanks!
The guide is still up at http://olddoc.freenas.org/index.php/Creating_your_own_PBIs but deprecated since, apparently, nobody was ever able to get a working plugin by following them. The only reliable method now appears to be "take an existing plugin apart and modify it until it resembles the plugin you want to have, then stick it back together again." That said, @Joshua Parker Ruehlig has taken over plugins recently and knows more about them than anyone - perhaps he'll eventually be willing to share some tips and tricks in this forum!
That's a pretty generic termI need a surveillance plugin, is it possible?
I'm not saying we should have a situation where its different repositories for each plugin. But a field that says "this is an official iXsystems plugin" and one that says "maintained by cyberjock in the FreeNAS forums" or includes an email for support or something in the GUI would go a long way. I know I don't want to be in a forum where 50+ plugins are available and everyone posts every question about every plugin here because its non-obvious. Ugg!
