Truenas Scale install and beginner setup 

This video was excellent to watch for a first time TrueNAS user. I was able to get my server up and running, and had no issues. My version was a little bit newer than this video, but I was able to find everything I needed. Thanks for putting this together.

Well Mr. Lo-Res DIY.... I gotta thank you for this easy to follow video; I've tried several others which skips some steps in their video as they assumed the viewers understood what to do next. You took the time to literally go through step-by-step and I finally have a working share.... Thank you and you now have a new subscriber!

Thank you so much for your videos on Truenas Scale. Your videos have finally given me the confidence to migrate my Truenas Core server to Scale and it was great. For what I use, the scale apps are much easier than maintaining the core jails. Thank you.

This was a super-helpful video for getting my first TrueNAS install set up and sharing out to the network. Thanks!

Hey man, thanks for all your work here. This video is the reason I now have a 40TB raidz2 NAS as someone who has never built a NAS, used Linux, done any kind of programming and has no idea how to use a terminal. Visual step by step was invaluable, cheers.

Scale was a bit different in the UI when I was following this, but I was able to figure out enough to get my first server going. Thanks a bunch for the video, it really helped me get it running the way I needed it to.

Awesome video, I don't leave too many comments but your style was very easy to follow. I got up and running with one playthrough of your video. Thank you!

As others have said, this is the perfect, exemplary quick-start guide for first-timers like myself. Cheers LoRes!

A tip I just came across... If you're getting the "Bad shim signature" error, turn off Secure Boot. In older BIOS' like mine, this was achieved by switching Secure Boot from "windows" to "other OS". Hope this helps someone else!

Thank you so much for your helping me to create share folders.Greetings from Greece.

Great simple walkthrough

dude thank you so much you have fixed a 2 month process cos i wanted to work it out but i was so far off ahah

Thanks man, this helps a lot! I was stucked for a moment until I realised after installation I could just ignore it (I'm installing using rufus and installed it on my C: drive on a desktop, I don't know that after that at the configuration page, we could just ignore and use it right away on google to ip address), that's why now it quite make sense that we don't need a screen after the setup. But all an all, hope we can get an upcoming content on how to set it up with phone usable. Thank you again my man!👍👍

Best beginner tutorial . Thanks

Hey Man, great video, definitely answered some questions I had with permissions. I am having an issue with mounting a networked smb drive TO my truenas scale system so that I could use it within plex (hosted on the truenas docker). Would love to see a video about that, as there doesn't seem to be many out there.

I set up trunas scale over a month ago and I could not map a network drive accessible through windows 10 to save my life. Every time I got "network folder not accessible". I deleted all the datasets and users and storage and started again. Watched 6+ hours of tutorials on youtube and still nothing. I want to thank you SO MUCH, after watching your video, I realized that my permissions for owner were not correct and I changed them and now I have a mapped network drive and access on my local network. I am currently working on getting my emby server up and running, and I cannot figure out how to access media/storage from the nas mapped drive through the app media share. I've tried \\192...\storage... and mnt\storage... but I will keep looking. I appreciate you making this video and clearly stating each step so that people like me can understand.

awesome video! thanks for making this!

thankyou it was a great help

Really helpful video

Handy tutorial - thanks

Thank you, keep up the good work!!

Great video! Thank you!!

Excellent Video

Thank you for the great explanation. I have a question regarding the truenas. Do we have a safe mode in truenas

Thank you so much for your tutorial about TrueNAS SCALE. But actually I need some custom config for multi-users for access single dataset, how do we do it? how to set multi-permissions on single dataset. Thanks

Good video

Please make a video about the raid options!

Good video thank you.

Great video, thanks, I have followed the instructions but when I reboot it tells me: no bootable devices so I go in my bios I see : TrunNAS-0 as boot sequence on top, so not sure, I have ran the USB installation twice? Any ideas?

thank you for the tutorial ! ;)

Great info but had to search my system as it is version 22.12.2 and is laid out different than yours. Stuff was in different places but after watching a small section of your video and clicking around on my install was able to find the area you were demoing, same info just different location in the GUI.

Great 👍 vid

I'm stuck in the POSIX permissions menu so like the ACL editor but I want to see the Unix permissions window again?

12:25 if I understand correctly, the Microsoft Account option is only needed if you're logging into a client PC using an online account. If you're using a local login, this option doesn't need to be checked?

I would be interested in learning about Raids as I’m new to all this but find it all interested.

Can use TruNas software to replace my operating system on Qnap ts932px? I would to use this seems more secure. My nas has 1 2tb ssd and 3 16gb sata.

Can you create a video on how to install nvidia drivers on Truenas Scales.

Good morning. I am at a conundrum for testing purposes only I set up true Nas scale on a virtual machine in the cloud and the IP address that was given to me I can login the webpage and access it. No problem I can also access that same IP address to my machine to access the data off of the drive, however, if I take this machine outside of my home, Netwerk, I am unable to access the IP address that was assigned to the machine. Is this a flaw in truenas scale that people are unaware of?

Can't find microsoft account tick box in add user page, please help

8:45 Any kind of hand holding is appreciated. I going to go with z1 as one drive of paraity or what have you is fine, I'll start with three drives, then when I can free up two other drives of their data I'd like to expand the pool to 5 drives. I also have a 500GB SSD to act as storage for Apps, but I saw your test pools so I'm presuming you'll be setting up that way shortly as I saw one pool named apps TL;DR I would like to know what's going on with the machine, so yes please

fyi - 22.02.03 the "test" is no longer there under configure/Storage Widgets

Bonjour, faut-il installer un antivirus, ou il y a aucun risque en sachant que les fichiers sont isoler de windows. Merci de votre avis

thanks

I like the eye candy of TrueNAS and the simplicity of TrueNAS Scale with their better VM support. However, I am not a business so I choose using Proxmox and managing my own ZFS multiple vdev pools/raidz setup and then using an LXC Debian hosting the passed through (your video helped me on that) raidz passed through for a simple Samba server. I have tried numerous NAS operating systems to include TrueNAS Scale and find myself wishing for eye candy with simplistic sharing without the extra overhead of things I don't need. I guess this is why I like Proxmox as it is minimalist with the ability to build it the way you want. I just wish that Windows did not have issues with activating on Proxmox. Those who get their Windows activated seem to be lucky.

Do you have or plan to do any videos on setting up FTP/SFTP on TrueNAS Scale? I need to give someone some file access but I dont want them to see all of my shares

When you “hopped over to Chrome” after installing TrueNas, was this on a separate computer or on the one you have the flash drive in?

Question: Is the reason that TrueNas Scale require 2 HDD of the same size because it is using for storage ? If so then you would need 2 drives for each addl piece of storage that you add into the system, am I understanding that right ?

Can I add new drives whenever I want after installing TrueNAS or must they all be present that you are to use when you install TrueNAS? For example, say I set up TrueNAS and then later hook up 2 new SATA drives I want to use in their own pool. That's fine, right?

Question: Do I have to format the hard drives first before installation, or can TrueNas format them in the installation process?

Thanks for the vid. I have a question. My boot drive disk died. How do I recover the data In my pools? Thanks I’m advance!

There is no list of pools for me.

Is the dual drives an absolute requirement? I've tried upgrade and fresh install from core to scale and my server stops mid way during the boot sequence and never gets to the last screen

I have a problem where my disk doesn’t show in the create pool

Im trying to get this setup, Trying to Setup Up 2 Linux VM's & File Server on a AMD quad core x64

I can't login from my pc browser. But it's work from my smart phone. Solved this issue plz.

I tried to install true nas but i juste get fips self test failure and it just don’t boot, any sugestion?

Great video, but there is something I don't understand: How did you go from the install of TrueNas to Chrome? Did you access it from another computer, like an operating system? Is it installed on your computer with TrueNas? forgive me if this question is so basic, but I am a true noob at this.

vdevs more information plase ;=)

Newby question, is this TrueNas Scale 100% free?

This interface is TrueNAS core . Trunas Scale looks quite a bit different on latest version and its menues , options and funcionality is quite different . Also , you are using Linux based server OS but not going trough how to set up UNIX shares for those who use Linux . Unix shares to set up are different from SMB . ALso SMB is pure garbage , but its OK for Windows users accesing TrueNas server . But for Linux users , why in the hell would they use SMB over NFS / UNIX shares ? Its counter intutive . Also your mugg bubble is in the way of everything and no one can see what you are doing . Quite annoying .

Completely outdated video, too fast, skipping things and total chaos. Sure, with 5 years experience running through a basic setup is a waste of time to watch.
