I've been using TrueNAS Core as my main NAS OS for over a year now and I've dabbled with Scale while it was in beta. Now Scale is finally out of beta and ready for the big times.

@@ozb2006 Hi, OZ B. Just wanted to weigh in with some general advise. On the hardware side of things. It'll probably run on most configurations. The question is if you actually want to do this. For a test setup I'd say go ahead. For a production server I'd say don't! For the simple reason of reliability and data integrity. Don't forget TrueNAS ONLY supports ZFS! Which is where ECC RAM is highly recommended..

@@Nemesis-pe7mw hi thanks for answering me so i have a dell poweradge t610 it's a 8 core 16 threads, 120gb of ecc mem, with 2 g nics, perc h310, IT mode, and a 9 channel expander card, the idea is to run pfsense, as my main router firewall, and a copy of an "imprisoned" (firewalled and blocked from the internet but not local network) windows 10 or 11 so i can run all the adobe products for video editing. i was asking about running scale on a desktop due to the facts i have a regular desktop with similar spects to my server and i wanted to have it on standby as a backup system to the server with an identical config, in case the server went down... but it looks like my plans are out of reach for the moment the backup machine is not going to happen for now, i can't get the h310 controller to work with this board to work, and so far as to my main server well my 20 1TB disks, most of them have a bunch of errors so scale does want to create a VD partition, so this stuff would have to wait for s minute until we'll have some money to buy a few hard drives.

This video was helpful in deciding whether to stay with Proxmox or move over the TrueNas Scale to function as a primary hypervisor. I'm new to the hypervisor world and just a hobbyist, not an IT pro. I have struggled in certain areas with Proxmox and the GUI for TrueNas is appealing. Now that I know I can run VMs and Docker as I learn, I think Scale is the right solution. I appreciate the intro!

You can't use docker-compose, because Scale doesn't use docker. It uses Kubenetes, which can create containers based on docker images, but is quite different. The docker-compose equivalent for kubenetes is helm charts, which is what the TrueCharts catalog uses.

Nearly without a hitch, I setup my first TrueNAS SCALE server using an ASUS Gigabyte Vision D MB, 5900X, 1 TB 980 Pro M.2 (boot) and 4 x 2TB SN850X M.2 drives in an Asus Hyper M.2 Gen 4 card. Thanks to your vid, it worked flawlessly. I'm going to add a better NIC soon, but for now this is perfect. I did have one issue with a 5600G which does not allow enough free PCIe lanes and only 3 of the 4 M.2 sticks were showing up and I couldn't bifurcate the x16 slot into true 4x4x4x4, but swapping out with my 5900X solved that issue. I had to use a small GPU card in the 3rd slot, and I'm not sure if the 2nd slot can take anything without affecting the x16 slot. I am quite surpsied that TrueNAS setup detected all my hardware (aside from my wifi card). Just amazing. I almost went for the Unraid, but not after reading about Btrfs performance issues. I was intrigued by its VM/container support but that's where SCALE now helps. I have some workloads that will run on the server processing files, so this should SCREAM.

So you can either Rsync the main drive or Syncthing and there are a number of plugins in OMV itself that probably do what you want.

Very Good video and just what I need to get started!!! Just completed my initial TrueNAS Scale setup with an ASUS AMD ITX m/b in the SilverStone DS380 case. The setup was extremely quick and relatively easy - I had this video going in another browser while I went through my initial first login and setup. There is literally no space to spare in the DS380 (this is a completely headless configuration). I don't know that I need any of add-on apps since I'm just after online storage in my local wifi network for my desktop and for our Apple devices (Iphone/Ipad). Currently copying a big tranche of 'archive' data from the desktop to the NAS (around 5tb), once that is done, I'll be looking to copy all the photos on all the devices over to the NAS. 7 drives in the pool instead of the 8 installed, due to a back plane issue with the DS380 drive cage on drive #3. I accepted TrueNAS recommendation on pool configuration and its been off the races since.

@stevearkwright 2 жыл бұрын

The way I understand it is if you plan to build-up (or build-out) a primary TrueNAS Scale *storage machine* to other server storage nodes, then you start with TrueNAS Scale. Please, would someone correct me if I state that when you build-out multiple storage servers, they don’t need to be the exact same model/generation, or exactly similar specs (aside from ECC RAM, etc.), to create a cluster - or even be from the *same manufacturer*? I’m planning on loading the primary TrueNAS Scale installation onto an old HP server first, then building-out to different model HP servers - then out to Dell servers and some SuperMicro storage arrays. (Yes, it’s going to be a real mongrel cluster) Obviously, I’m keen to get the concept correct before beginning (!). If you do have a helpful comment, it’d be very welcome.

Question. Just set up an old PC, Intel quick sync, windows 10, with Plex. It sits in the other room and works. It’s connected through windows file sharing. Why use a NAS os? I’m middle age but didn’t grow up with computers so I’ve never used Linux or command prompts. I build my gaming pc’s but it’s simple putting pieces together. Making a home made NAS sounds kinda fun. Watching your videos this week and all this seems like a fun (and maybe frustrating) project. But, again… what’s the purpose of a home server when file sharing works.

What is your option for backup Proxmox host (vs TrueNas Scale)? I love to play and get things broken, so I need a fast restore of a host...

@jgould30 2 жыл бұрын

If you are trying to do backups in proxmox you should deploy their other software, proxmox backup server (PBS). Unlike the built in backup in proxmox it does incremental backups. It's a good product. As for Truenas Scale, I do t know of any backup software that integrates with it or it's KVM and Kubernetes/Docker tooling. Probably best bet for now but s leveraging ZFS snapshots and replication. However the actual consistency of those backups might be questionable in some cases, particular for databases.

Great video. One of the reasons I switched was the ease with which you did the GPU passthrough, but it seems like it only works that way on TV or youtube video. The device shows up in the Isolated GPU and can be selected, but when you go to the device to add it, it throws an error. My GPU is in the IOMMU 0 group and it is the only thing in the group, however it does not show up as a PCI device if you try to add it to the VM utilizing the VM's Devices screen. The weird thing is the iGPU can be passed through without issue so I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if there is something different that needs to be done beyond what you did.

I recently got hit with Deadbolt on my Asustor; attack vector was the ADM update process. I want to start my own HomeLab and ditch the Asustor NAS, and I am looking at this software. Obviously recommended, but things like VPN and (maybe) NginX Proxy Server easy to set up here as well (I am guessing through Docker)?

Hello. Is it possible to increase the size of the storage pool meaning from say 40Tb to say add a 16Tb so your original 40Tb became 56Tb in size by adding an extra hard drive is that possible or is it still a no go so essentially you have to add all your hard drives at the time you do the install and that is what you are stuck with so if you run out of space you either have to wipe your current set and start all over again. Greetings.

This video was really helpful for setting up TrueNas on my new home server. Would you be able to do a video on setting up a VPN? I am still quite a noob and have been struggling to get open VPN working.
