+## mgrote.zfs_sanoid
+
+### Beschreibung
+Installiert und konfiguriert ``sanoid`` + ``syncoid``.
+
+Es gibt 3 Funktionen:
+
+1. Snapshots erstellen und entfernen
+2. Snapshots senden
+3. Snapshots empfangen
+
+### getestet auf
+- ProxMox 7.*
+- Ubuntu 20.04
+
+### Variablen + Defaults
+- see [defaults](./defaults/main.yml)
+
+
+### Beispiel Playbook
+
+```yaml
+---
+- hosts: host1,host2
+  roles:
+    - { role: mgrote_zfs_sanoid, tags: "sanoid" }
+```
