  • SCALE - Can't update Nextcloud (TrueCharts) app to 24.0.2_14.0.x

    Let me know when you release an built image! I'll add it as an "App" on TrueNas SCALE, in truecharts catalog https://github.com/truecharts/apps/

    I'd say something similar to Bilal_io.

    In general as a NAS: No every function is already migrated to Scale, there are some quirks here and there, but as a NAS is working OK

    Regarding the "Apps": It's too heavy for (really) old systems, but it seems to work OK in newer systems. Although you could in practice, don't expect to "just run a Docker image", you better use their "App charts". The "App" definitions are based on Helm and there is both an "Official" repository and a "Community" repository (Truecharts) of them. You can also create your own repo and add it to your Scale deployment.

    I have some simple apps (Transmission, Heimdall and some other stuff) running in a E3-1265L 32GB RAM and everything es working well.

    But I have a really old HP Microserver N40L as an offsite backup for my NAS where I've installed TrueNAS Scale too, and although the NAS works OK, if I try to install any apps, the K3S installation plus all the tools overhead is too much for the machine, and keeps it at 100% CPU almost permanently. If you remove all the apps and detach the storage from the App system it uninstalls all that stuff and goes back to work well again.

  • TrueCharts Integrates Docker Compose with TrueNAS SCALE
    4 projects | /r/truenas | 15 Mar 2022
    TrueNAS SCALE is scale-out storage and hyperconverged infrastructure that uses Kubernetes for deploying containerized (e.g. Docker) applications. Kubernetes allows single containers or pods of containers to be easily deployed as Helm Charts on a unified infrastructure. Third-party App catalogs such as TrueCharts provide a large, pre-tested library of applications built using Helm Charts.
  • Architecture: TrueNAS on Ubuntu or Ubuntu on TrueNAS?
    2 projects | /r/selfhosted | 14 Mar 2022
    Virtual machines are not needed. TrueNAS SCALE has "apps" that run through a system of k8s and Docker containers. Containers should have better performance than VMs. Now SCALE is still very new (first stable release was only a couple of weeks ago) but there are already some guides you can find that explain more. Check out TrueCharts to see what community apps are available. Pi-hole, Home Assistant and Nextcloud are available but not GlaDOS.
  • TrueNAS Scale running on my TS-673A. I didn't run into any problems during the installation or setup. Now I wait while 15TB of data slowly makes it way back onto the NAS.

    FWIW, the "TrueCharts" community app catalog that extends the (currently very limited) TrueNAS official app catalog of Kubernetes containers for TrueNAS seems to work really well for me. I'm just running Plex and Unifi7, but it's stable, responsive, low-overhead, and easy to keep up to date.

  • tvheadend from truecharts does not download EPG information.

    It's not the truecharts people's fault, ( https://github.com/truecharts/apps/issues/1497 ) and a bug with xmltv folks already exists: https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/issues/152
  • Nextcloud plugin install

    truecharts is possibly the most exciting thing at this point, although creation screens are still not customized for specific apps (no simple way to passthrough Intel GPU to jellyfin app, as opposed to the Plex officially supported app)
