Cant wait for the updated 2024 TrueNAS stuff.. Thanks man!

Glad someone thought to list nfs and smb usage connections/logs. I never even considered that as something to have, since I have less than a dozen machines in my homelab currently, but I can see how that could be valuable in an enterprise scenario when planning an outage or building DR plans. Cudos!

Always appreciate your coverage of Scale, thank you for the clear and concise overview of the update!

I think I'm moving to Scale as soon as this release is out, I have been holding off with my main TrueNAS CORE working so well. The usability seems to have come a long way.

I started using Scale immediately last year when I built my new NAS, I as using Ubuntu previously and was happy to stick with Linux. The only issue I had was with Truecharts being quirky, especially with breaking changes during upgrades. Otherwise I'm happy with it.

I installed Dragonfish beta on my new system for about a month. Been running a few vms but its mainly a ubuntu plex server and network share. So far so good, no issues.

It's now time for me to migrate to Scale. Can't wait for the stable release!

This is timely, I'm almost done rebuilding my proxmox server with one goal being getting used to scale, will definitely throw this on there once I'm finished building it.

@@lyianx Proxmox is a hypervisor (mainly) Truenas is a storage appliance (mainly). Both of them can do more than what they are mainly used for though, point is I use Truenas core right now (which is freebsd not linux based) but it looks like most of the development effort is going to scale and I should probably get used to using it.

Those new share status screens really do look great! Just yesterday I was contemplating restarting my SMB services and started wondering what all was connected.

TrueNAS keeps getting better.

making new smb datasets is so good. feels very smooth

I just implemented the cache changes as described in your earlier videos last night, lol. Thanks for the videos.

Wow, thanks for sharing! This is exciting.

Appreciate the testing and feedback as always, Tom!

I won't be switching until true Nas scale is proven to beat core when it comes to iscsi and dedup.

About time they got dynamic ARC scaling working, that's only been on the board since.... well forever, and longer off the board if you count the "wtf why doesn't the ARC use all my memory" forum posts.

Great content, thanks!

I am surprised iX Systems have not partnered with a mainboard manufacturer to introduce hardware for the 1/2/4/5 drive NAS market to compete against turnkey NAS units as an entry level solution for SOHO / micro businesses.

Love the shirt!

I just wish they would develop a way to seamlessly expand a storage pool similarly to some of the commercial turnkey NAS devices where you can do things like purchase 1 drive and just add it into the NAS, and it will just expand the pool to include it. This would be better for home users who may just want to have a basic setup with 2 drive redundancy and just be able to toss in an extra drive once in a while when there is a good sale on hard drives.

That is coming in SCALE 24.10 this fall. Raidz expansion merged into OpenZFS, so you can start with a smaller vdev count and add one-by-one.

Already possible if you use mirrors today… but safe RAIDZ expansion will be great

Great video. I'll be installing SCALE once I set up my new Proxmox cluster. I've been all CORE up to this point. Do you think you'll do a separate video at some point focusing on the dual dataset/share setup? I'm so used to the multi-step process to create the users/create the dataset/define the permissions/set up the share in CORE that I kind of boggled at that point of the video. Like, excellent news, but I am confused how it can go that quickly. :P

Have they added more options when using Let’s Encrypt certificates?

Not sure if it wasnt mentioned before, but it will support SMB encryption then?

Nice T-shirt! 😄

I wish truenas would add the ability to use any size drives like unraid.

Thanks @Lawrence! I am curious what is happening with respect to Gluster vs the alternatives on TrueNAS Scale. Does 24.04 Dragonfish make any changes there?

Looks interesting. Good to know that True-charts currently does not work😢. Based on your t-shirts: any thoughts on how to do incremental remote backup to S3 buckets with TrueNAS? the current sync option probably works but that's not great for backup. I am still running Proxmox as my homelab NAS with an LXC containers with all zfs datasets accessible. It is running duplicati to Wasabi S3 as incremental backup. I am about to migrate to TrueNAS-Scale, however proper builtin or bolted on backup is still missing for me.

Many thanks for doing this - I'm disappointed that the SMB changes are not genuinely those of ease of use. Creating a share in Truenas Scale remains clumsy, having to edit the very poorly laid out dataset ACLs rather than SMB access. I appreciate that's related to the Linux file permissions but the current config, even to create a guest share is a muddle.

I love your shirt! I want one - being a D&D player it calls me!

Does this include the Linux kernel that has Intel ARC drivers?

Trying on my backup server, I like it. I want to try on my main server, but I'll wait. Looks good tho.

Is this version already got support to backup from OneDrive/Sharepoint? I can only use in Core version. Also doesn't have support for letsencrypt.

TrueNAS has had built-in support for Let's Encrypt since CORE 12 and all versions of SCALE, albeit with a very limited set of DNS providers (slightly more for SCALE than for CORE).

Only issue I’ve got is I’m trying to use ai and a k80. The baked in drivers don’t support the k80 anymore and it’s a total faff to roll them back….

My trueness is pretty much automagic at this point. It is so rock solid that I barely have a reason to touch it.

the yx.04's are ALWAYS super stable since they're basically the xy.10 stables plus a few tweaks....then again im a proxmox fanboy so i really dont know truenas like i do the .deb linuxes but still, t SHOULD be stable by now, we're in testing, it should be like 99.5% right now, with only weird edge cases causing issues and even then only occassionally....im concerned Scale will really push FreeBSD down though - god save them if someone ever makes a pfsense based on linux!

Truechart apps seem to be working fine at this point.

They are selling AF models with SCALE now. I wonder what tunable they set on those models. AF performance generally sucks compared to other file systems

Apps still have poor administrability and maintainability. You still can't change anything, even certificates, like in Jails with Core.

It's too bad they've abandoned development on Core.
