Yes, I misspoke about ZFS being a “memory hog”. I meant more that it will work better the more RAM you throw at it since it can use pretty much all of it. Thanks everyone for pointing that out though 😒

I got the F2-223 and put TrueNAS Core on it. It's working great.

there is a simple(r) solution for usb 3 boot drive: get one of those SLC 32GB usb disk along with a USB flexible extension to put it inside the chassis near the vent airflow. SLC USB drives are fast enough for scale install and will last FOREVER. You'll also have the ability to use both nvme drives

The whole "zfs is a memory hog" thing is a bit of a myth. Most of the issues around that arise if you use dedupe. Since that's not something you really need most of the time (and if you really need it, you can enable it on just one dataset), huge memory sizes aren't super necessary. Having said that, more memory is helpful for things like caching, but how much you really need there depends on how you use your data.

Yes. Vpn on TrueNas scale walkthrough please!

I'm a dirty little Raid Owl fanboy. At LEAST HH knows you're weird. That's a start to a bro-mance. He's cool. I like when he does a video project, something just doesn't work, and he continues, SHOWING US his mistake. Mark of a great creator! Terramaster had/has (okay leaning toward "HAD") a chance, a huge chance, of making very good, low-cost NAS with great software. They failed. It's obvious from everyone's review on KZread they failed. Synology and TrueNAS {core,scale} are the Gold Standards. Synology "just works." (Most of the time!) But TrueNAS has so much going for it and will only get better. I like you taking the time to show taking this mess and making it useable. I see this has a great "dorm room NAS" for a kid to take to college. Or perhaps for a baby NAS for cameras' recordings. Keep up the great videos my fine feathered creator.

it's extra work, but you can ditch k3s and go with straight docker on scale. more of an advanced implementation though.

Damn I like your videos man! Keep it up 😊👍

Great video. Have you taken a look at UGreen's kickstarter for their Nasync devices? The hardware they have looks pretty good, starting with the Intel N100 all the way to the i5-1235u. Those 2 performance cores in the i5 are pretty powerful.

I'd pay 150$ for a full networking course on scale...... but yeah a VPN video on scale would help. Maybe work again with HH and Jeff. I know you guys have been in cahoots for a little bit now. Love the vids brotha keep em coming.

You can probably get around the boot drive problem with nvme namespaces if you can find an m.2 that actually support it

I would be interested in a guide for setting up a VPN within TrueNAS :)

What's wrong with just using a usb flash drive as your boot medium? the only time you really need to write to it is for stuff like os updates and configuration changes which happen super rarely. most of what you do with the nas is going to be done on the pool(s)

I'm a dirty little Raid Owl fanboy! I did this with my 4-bay NAS from TerraMaster.

Ii is a nice vide, but: - ZFS is NOT a memory hog, I run it om a 2003 backup server with 1GB of DDR (400MHz); Pentium 4 HT (3.0GHz); 4 HDDs 1.21TB (2x IDE; 2x SATA-1). It runs FreeBSD 13.2' + XFCE on OpenZFS 2.1.9. It has one small disadvantage, it only runs the backup (send | ssh receive) at ~200Mbps due to a ~95% load on one CPU thread. ZFS uses a large part of free memory for the L1ARC (memory cache) to store the lz4 compressed records, but memory will be freed again if needed. - I run FreeBSD from the zroot datapool on 2 IDE HDDs (Raid 0; 250+320GB) and I also use those HDDs to store some of my backup datasets. The other datapool has 2 laptop HDDs (2x 320GB; Raid 0; SATA).

@@philiprobar Is it really a problem for a home use/home lab (hobby) scenario that have way less read writes (where as being the OS having less so writes that actual diminishes the lifespan)? Between installing a second USB drive (mirroring) and or installing a usb to M.2/SSD as an option, I don't see the need to be that concerned in the first place. My Terramaster TrueNAS has been running with no issues for the past year. If the USB drive becomes an issue (I doubt it for the next 2 to 4 years) I have a backup of the OS & config and I will just slap in a USB to M.2 drive, and secure it in-between the fan and the Drives. In my opinion it is way to valuable to use the onboard M.2 slots for the OS. Your reasoning for Home Office/Small Business I can agree not to use USB drives. To be honest in such scenarios is using a Terramaster running an unsupported OS, really the smart option, to be used in a Home Office/Small Business scenario?

Anyway, I don't like ZFS, so I'm happy with OpenMediaVault where I can choose myself.
