So..... based on the fact that truenas scale is linux based, does that mean that the apps they offer for installation are the linux versions as opposed to docker containers? (Just like installing a windows app).
Diving into TrueNas Scale
- Thread starter sswilson
- Start date
Nextcloud install was relatively easy, but I'd have to look deeper into the settings as I'm getting an "untrusted domain" screen when trying to connect through the web UI. (I'm not going to bother as this was more just to test the system).
I think I'm going to put this project to bed.......
So far it looks like getting it configured for a basic NAS that provides a network share is pretty straight forward. Biggest difference in the install process between Unraid and this is that it's done via an ISO so there's an extra step of creating bootable install media (Ventoy worked well). Once installed I was able to create a striped pool of 2 drives with a "dataset" that works how a share would in Unraid. The 2X8TB striped pool was pretty damn fast and seemed to be close to maxing out my 2.5GB NIC. I was getting a consistent 240 - 250 MB/s write speed moving content from an NVMe drive w/ 5G connection to the network that was reporting somewhere between 2.1 - 2.19G throughput on the TrueNas NIC.
That's the good part..... the bad part is that it's way too complicated for my feeble mind once you try to go beyond a basic NAS setup. I suppose I could try running through setup guides, but once I start looking at different Pools, Zvols, and Vdevs, my eyes start to glaze over.
Unraid is very much about creating a single pool from your total HDD resources while TrueNas appears to be more about configuring a whole storage ecosystem with different storage assets assigned to different functions. It appears to be able to do a hell of a lot more than Unraid, but that functionality comes at the price of needing to have a working knowledge of how the system works.
I definitely do not regret my decision to go with Unraid when I built my NAS.

Pretty much the same function to overwrite data (full with zeros vs pre-clear) but more directly labeled in TrueNas when you want to wipe a disk.
