TrueNAS Scale the ULTIMATE Home Server? Docker, Kubernetes, Apps
Is TrueNAS Scale the ULTIMATE Home Server? And how does the Docker and Kubernetes Implementation work on it? We will deploy a simple Docker Container and a more complex App with the awesome community project TrueCharts. #TrueNAS #TrueNASScale #HomeLab

TrueNAS needs to work on their gui section of networking. There are quite a few issues such as documentation does not reflect the actual. Lag and LACP changes have to be applied by rebooting. Only 1 network card can be assigned to DHCP at a time…
Can i use it for only files and DB only? Will that be efficient?
What do you recommend for web server self host
About to migrate to TrueNAS from OMV, thanks for the tips!
how resources are managed ? memory and. that to VM and containers? or is better for that use Proxmox ? since. I will be focus on containers and VM and most use as NAS for my workflow this looks like a good option but for instance GPU passthrough is possible? thanks great video
What trueNAS scale gives you in simplicity it removes in customization. Docker is running on top of K8s so good luck with docker compose. I’d much rather have pure docker, run portainer and then beable to easily move my 30+ docker stacks and data to migrate off of my old nas. Additionally virtualization on trueNAS is a bitch due to the network stack not being able to hit the host machine. The fix is to create a bridge network, but this seems to only work on a direct physical interface so if you’re like me trying to create a bridge for your VMs on at LACP bond then you’re SOL, you’ve got to choose between the bond or external connectivity on the host or the VM. Been testing out NAS OSs I plan on giving unRAID a whirl to see if it handles things better than TrueNAS scale.
Oh.. I did it reverse way.. I installed and completed setting on ubuntu. I have to re-install true nas first 🙁
I've just installed TrueNAS Scale latest nightly build. I came across this video and would like to know if its possible and how to install Rancher on this TrueNAS Host or in a VM on this Host. Thank you for all the work you do on these videos. Very Helpful !
Man, i cant understand a word you are saying. 😮
Thanks for sharing this! I'm new to truenas world, but been working with kubernetes for a while. I'm excited to be joining truenas world!
I'm not happy with the kubernetes since I want to use a Docker image using vlan. 😀
Truenas scale was my number 1 server till an update broke Plex , now I'm disappointed. Can't get plex working any more ! No fix in sight yet….
Hi, is it possible to browse the system from outside the network, and how can it be done?
Do i need to implement an SSL Cert? when i tun this command, i get Unable to connect to the server: x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid: current time 2023-03-06T13:57:34–08:00 is before 2023-03-07T05:54:19Z
The container services feature does seem very convenient, but as a sysadmin this hides too much complexities and configuration away from me. I am more comfortable being in full control of the configuration.
Finished building my new Mini ITX Server yesterday and installed TrueNAS Scale today on it. Thanks for the great video and good show host. Subscribed.

Hello! New sub here! I'd been running FreeNAS and then TrueNAS Core for several years and I loved how easy it was to get things setup…. until I decided to give TrueNAS Scale a shot, and now there's no turning back for me! haha. Sure installing Core plugins isn't hard, but once I tried the containerized method that Scale offers I fell in love with it! I'm no IT professional.. I'm just a somewhat knowledgeable enthusiast, but I used Core and now Scale as the OS to run my Plex Media Server (and other things that I use with it like Sonarr and QBitTorrent). It's amazing how much easier it is to work with, at least in my opinion.
ANYWAY, thanks for this video Christian. I'll see you around! 🙂
Yes please explore the use of VMs in TrueNas Scale. I have been working with TrueNas Scale for a couple weeks now and things are going well except for after the creation of my Windows VMs and when I try to do Windows Updates, most updates work fine but I seem to have one keep failing as it is installing , it will seem to keep installing for a few minutes and then it will fail and give a message to retry. I have re-tired but it keeps failing, it also failed on a Windows 10 Pro install when I tried to run the update then also. But other than that I am VERY happy working with TrueNas scale, I am trying to get my 2.5 gb network card to work, and I will keep working on that, I think it is just a operator problem and I am sure I will be able to work through it.
Portainer is in the Truecharts catalog.
Nextcloud Project would be really nice!
Thanks A Zillion time Christian!
4:22 that wasn’t something well done by iX Systems, that’s a main feature of Kubernetes and other container virtualization.
I can’t even begin to understand this dude, he is way smarter than I am. His brain seems to work like a computer and you can tell by the way he speaks-that is a compliment. Wait, maybe he just drinks lots of coffee. I feel so dumb now after watching this dude:)
WOW… Well Done Sir!!
Please do VMs
