  • Question: Thinking about migrating from Core to Scale. Is it worth it?
    1 project | /r/truenas | 15 Feb 2023
    To actually install Plex and other apps, there are 'Official' charts from TrueNAS and then community ones - the biggest one is https://github.com/truecharts/catalog - for Plex I'm having no problems with the official one.

  • (Maybe) switching from unRAID to TrueNASC Scale
    1 project | /r/truenas | 17 Sep 2022
    Turn off your unRAID containers and copy the appdata folder to your TrueNAS box. Get the "TrueTool" script and add the TrueCharts app catalog https://github.com/truecharts/catalog if you haven't already (that has all the community apps you would expect). You use the TrueTools script to mount the "config folders" from your apps (app must be stopped). This would resemble the unRAID "appdata" folder for your containers. Then cd into the mount

    features_capability.json: (Official, TrueCharts)This file appears to be read & parsed by TrueNAS and is obviously related to the definitions/ and normalize/s, but again it seems to be completely undocumented.
  • SCALE actually supports stand-alone docker now?!?
    1 project | /r/truenas | 31 Aug 2021
    Yup, you can launch a container from the UI, and then either update or delete the image from within the UI. Not really much control over it so you'd definitely want Portainer. You can use docker-compose as well, but only from the CLI, it's officially unsupported. The push seems to be towards Kubernetes, and if you add the TrueCharts catalogue (https://github.com/truecharts/catalog) you can easily launch about 50-60 pods for commonly used things.
