    Discontinued Community App Catalog for TrueNAS SCALE [Moved to: https://github.com/truecharts/charts]

    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.

    The aim is to share knowledge and information about building an open-source media server.

    Another route to go if choosing to use Ubuntu Server as your main OS (instead of TrueNAS SCALE), you could then install GlaDOS with the instructions and the other applications using Docker containers. If you want a Web UI then you can also use Cockpit and Portainer. Check out the Perfect Media Server guide for more on how you could achieve this.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
