I would like to see a video comparison between Proxmox and TrueNAS Scale? In which scenarios which OS to install as bare-metal?

@hcjkruse 7 месяцев назад

I know the video is a year old. Stay on Proxmox or move to trueNAS scale? Can I import my ZFS pools? Does it support multiple vlans on the same interface? Can I really not use kubectl by now? On Proxmox I run docker in a Proxmox container, not in a VM. Most is automated using Ansible. The UI is nice for exploring new toys. For real use I want the config in git. I don't run Kubernetes yet. I expiremented with K3S at home and use Rancher at work. The batteries included option in TrueNAS scale looks sweet. Is it sweet enough?

Brilliant Christian! I'm excited that you've choosen TrueNAS Scale for your server. I also think that there's so much potential with Scale, it is still early day's yet! Looking forward to many more cool videos on this subject from you.

One huge difference between Official and TrueCharts is the ability to add certificates. On official it is point and click, the TrueCharts is a different matter. If you have an SSD drive you can add it as cache drive to help speed things up.

@xandercode 2 года назад

The Vm feature is surprisingly good. I think it would be worth a video on GPU passthrough. Because TNS has the ability to do this without digging the command line. But! when it recognizes Gpu's it's not a clear cut as needed really. I think for people getting into HomeLab's It would be well worth a watch. The channel is great Christian aways very informative

Excellent video as usual! It is not required to define exposed ports when using custom docker apps with static addresses. This means all ports are an option (not just 9000+). I just happened to stumble into this in my own use case.

4:40 Fun fact, Linux and in some Unix systems, you have to be root to be able to use ports below 1024, anything above can be used without being an admin. >9000 is still a bit weird but its a cool fact i guess.

@jeresalem Год назад

It's an upstream Kubernetes k8s limitation. Apps on Scale deploy via Helm charts, which inherits the limitations.

If I install to 512gb ssd, can I use the spare space after installation on SSD to install stuff and VMs?

@PatrickBulteel 2 года назад

Considering you use Terraform and Packer, I'm surprised you're not using Vault for secret management.

@chadmwest Год назад

The good thing about being able to run VMs is that you can spin up your own k8s/k3s cluster. That's what I'd do, and what I might end up doing, but for now I'm actually okay with the built-in k3s manager GUI thing.

@voodoovinny7125 3 месяца назад

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...

@MrNoBSgiven 2 года назад

You have described Proxmox in the "I wish..." list. The storage, access to advanced management tools. How about HA i.e. clustering of TrueNaa boxes and moving kenernetes modes between them? So many questions, so little time.

@solverz4078 2 года назад

It's be interesting to know the best way to backup the persistent data from the containers in truenas if you are not using the zfs replication for example. Like with vanilla docker using host paths you can just backup these paths and then restore them on any machine, redeploy the containers using the same host paths and done, it will be running like it was before but it is not clear how to do this with PVC in truenas.

@mx338 Год назад

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.

@jimholloway1785 Год назад

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.

@voodoovinny7125 2 года назад

I have been waiting for TrueNAS to make the Linux move so that their VM ability is actually functional. Since this is built on Debian, I am now looking forward an addon that will allow a user with limited ram or non ECC ram to use the btrfs file system instead of zfs. But the biggest thing that NAS OS's need to have is a much more simplified ability to setup and share for the Windows home users abilities. Of course adding in support for a SHR type setup would also have a mass move fron Windows users.

Nice video ... I have a vps with linode and can I install true Nas scale on it and use as a web interface to install my applications like wordpress , laravel using portainer docker

@christianlempa Год назад

Thanks ;) I think that's not a good fit for true nas, on a VPS I would just use a Linux distro and then use a Docker web UI, something like Portainer f.e.

@Dredion 2 года назад

TrueNAS Scale brought me nothing but pain and frustration. I"m glad to rid myself of it. I think after the kinks get worked out, still it won't be worth running over other solutions for me personally.

@Dredion 2 года назад

Just noticed ADVERTISEMENT in the corner of the video. Make sense, not knocking the video. I gave TrueNAS scale a real college try. Got many services running, shares, reverse proxy domain, vpns running. VMs, all the good stuff. The entire time the UI felt more and more clunky. The real useful information hiding in the shell, and worse of all multiple inexplicable irreparable pool corruptions. So much time lost. I found the true charts community to be toxic as well. I had to throw in the towel.

@WatDoino 2 года назад

What are the things you didn’t like? And what did you go for instead?

@Dredion 2 года назад

@@WatDoino No TPM support for VMs, general clunky interface like having to close and loose all your work spinning up a container because you forgot to pre-create a dataset, reliance on truecharts, lack of useful information about pools other than some pretty charts, sluggish webui that constantly logs out, multiple metadata corruptions at the slightest provocation, frustrating network interface , buggy VM experience, could never get gpu pass through to work right, annoying interface for ACL settings. It all looked nice, but after twirling a bunch of settings panels over and over and having weird stuff go array…i decided to give up. Trying unRAID for the moment.

@marcelk.4371 2 года назад

I tested scale, but i think it needs more time. My containers dont run properly, vms also doesnt have all the features i need, also linking usb devices is at the moment not so conviniend.

@christianlempa 2 года назад

Well, it was just released a few months ago, so I believe it will get better over time.

@OctopusPrime138 10 месяцев назад

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.

@betonmicha 2 года назад

I guess what you are searching is Unraid…

@christianlempa 2 года назад

@Gastell0 2 года назад

Truenas SCALE was an utter disappointment as a system for virtualization since they've disabled all ways for adjusting VMs without providing the controls, and now also locked out the apt, so you can't even get lsscsi on NAS system of all things. Docker on it is also a pita, trying to make a new docker image is even more terrible Waiting for ZFS on unraid now.

@HammyHavoc Год назад

I really wish Unraid had decent backup utilities in the OOBE like TrueNAS Scale does. Find it very hard to trust any of the third-party backup solutions that use Docker containers or half-baked scripts.

@DhavidClaudiusGunawan Год назад

For homelabs, I think ZFS is not an efficient choice. Having the need to get exact match of disk for backup (if drive fails) and expandibility is quite limiting. Unraid is quite a nice choice due to it flexibility as it can use any drive that you have, the application inside unraid is quite extensive and well managed both by unraid and the community. And for some reason, the choice that not so many people look is using windows as storage server. Windows storage spaces/storage pool is quite flexible, the performance is good enough for home users, and it's quite easy to create and maintain.

@christianlempa Год назад

Hm Idk if having matching drives is really a limiting factor. Unraid is a nice alternative, though I don’t like it so much tbh.

@EduardoReyesDPM 2 года назад

Thank you for the review.. so sad IX systems chose kubernete instead of docker.... they really had a good chance to be the defacto standard for home users and small business users ... looks like unraid is still top dawg... docker with zfs

@wstrater 2 года назад

Kubernetes may be locked down for the same reason that I am not a fan of running general applications on a NAS. It is a file server and its job is to store and protect data. What happens when an application crashes and freeze or worse the file server. The data is precious or you wouldn’t be building such a beefy NAS.

@compthing5656 2 года назад

I absolutely despise what they did, using kubernetes instead of docker with portainer. Its just so unusable, the compatibility list is low. Things break all the time and worst of all is compatibility. I don't know why they went this route but it sure as hell is biting them in the ass. Everyone I know that used scale like me. Was initially very happy to hear that a Linux based version came out. Meaning that I could use docker natively. But here we are. I went back to core and just stuck to portainer with a VM. Though I will soon be moving to proxmox so I can leave this headache behind me. Really let down with this OS. Just stick with core until they fix this mess
