I will legit setup Enabling HTTPS certs in Tailscale just to get this #$&%# icon to go away.

I know the traffic is encrypted but stuff like this bugs me enough to take on a whole new project.

#Tailscale #SelfHosted #Homelab #HTTPS #Privacy #FOSS #TrueNAS #SearXNG

So I decided to create a self hosted search engine on my NAS. Turns out its not as difficult as you might think.
I also get to opt out of who I use in my search engine. And best of all I own my own data.

So what do we think? I'll just keep it private of course on my internal network. I'll access it via tail-scale remotely.

Today I was working on a new project, move from Synology to TrueNAS.

Now I managed to install Immich and NextCloud. As alternative for Drive and Photos.

I just came agross this link. Has anyone have a good tip for me in this process?

This weekend I finally had some time to get my TrueNAS server up and running with Immich on it.

Now my photos are replicated across two devices and the only thing I need now is the remote backup, which it will be another TrueNAS server at the office.

Also, it's the first time I had the guts to delete all my photos from Google Photos.

@deach Don’t follow accounts, but topics by following hashtags that matter to you.

Here’s a few common, generic-ish ones as an inspirational starting point.

- #HomeLab
- #selfHosting
- #Containers

Of course pretty much any project or product uses a hastag. Try whatever thing you use yourselves or are interested in.

e.g.:
- #Proxmox
- #TrueNAS
- #OPNsense
- #Podman
- #Docker
- #HomeAssistant
- #ESPhome

MotionEye (HA-addon) has become unreliable in recording video fies, it's pretty random if/when it records video, even when set to "continouus recording".
Going to try frigate, pulling it into TrueNAS directly now.

So, ich habe mir ein #ugreen #nas DXP2800 für den #diday bestellt. Zunächst 6TB. Ich bin Anfänger :D - Passt ganz gut. Meine 2TB #icloud sind voll und wollen jetzt mal abgelöst werden. Ich hoffe, ich bekomme das familientauglich eingerichtet. Ich werde mir nochmal #TrueNAS angucken, fühle mich aber nicht würdig und gehe glaub ich erstmal mit deren Software + #Immich, #Nextcloud etc.

@markuswerle @lxrs @christian Danke für den Support

@lxrs
@markuswerle danke für euren Input. Warum habt ihr auf #truenas gesetzt und nicht auf die Lösung von #ugreen? #immich finde ich auch interessant.

@G00NZ00 Ich hab ein #Ugreen #DXP2800. Darauf ist #TrueNAS auf einem Samsung Fit USB-Stick installiert. 1x 1TB SSD für Container und Caching, 2x 4TB HDD als Storage. Verschlüsselte Backups via S3 Buckets auf DigitalOcean (Weil ich dort noch Guthaben habe). Ich nutze überwiegend den integrierten TrueNAS App Catalog, darüber habe ich #Immich als Foto-Lösung installiert. Läuft.

@macandi Ich kann nur sagen man kommt sehr weit. Ich arbeite komplett auf eigenen Plattformen und realisiere das auch für Kunden. Installationen von Software mit #homebrew auf #macos Adressbücher und Kalender z.B. von #owncloud oder #nextcloud ebenso wie Cloudspeicher – kann ohne Installationen z.B. auch über @hetzner bezogen werden und ist so #dsgvo Konform und mit dem Standort in Deutschland beheimatet.
Einzig der Wille ist entscheidend – ich gehe an der Stelle sogar noch weiter, denn meine Installationen basieren fast ausschließlich auf #opensource Plattformen wie #ucs #proxmox #truenas #vaultwarden und #mediawiki trotz der Tatsache, daß ich meistens #apple Geräte als Frontend benutze.
Also ein ganz klares JA es geht… wenn man nur will.

TrueNAS. Организация файлового сервера у клиента c возможностью удаленного доступа

Недавно позвонил мне знакомый — у них в организации возникла потребность в файловом сервере. Первым делом я, конечно, предложил что-то проверенное, вроде готового решения от Synology. У меня уже был опыт настройки таких NAS — всё понятно, удобно и стабильно работает. Правда, был ещё опыт с файловыми помойками на Windows Server — и, честно говоря, удовольствия от них немного. Всё как-то через одно место, да и смысла в этом особо не вижу, особенно для небольших задач. Но тут всплыла старая добрая классика — «а можно подешевле?». Бюджет у организации ограничен, поэтому от идеи покупки NAS пришлось отказаться. Вместо этого предложил использовать уже имеющийся в офисе компьютер и собрать на нём свой файловый сервер. Начал искать self-hosted решения. Наткнулся на TrueNAS — слышал о нём раньше, но не пробовал вживую. Решил развернуть тестовый вариант у себя в Proxmox: один виртуальный диск для системы, два других — под зеркалирование (RAID1). Немного покопался — и понял: вот оно. Для себя я определил три обязательных условия:

#selfhosting can be daunting at first, it involves a few steps:

0. obtain a domain name
1. sign certificates to prevent MITM and create trust with for example #letsencrypt
2. understand the process of proxying connections and hosts, #nginx_proxy_manager
3. host your applications in a maintainable way with for example #truenas

Once you get the hang of this process, it gets really easy to spin up new services.

Blogged how I converted my #TrueNAS Core 13.3 to plain #FreeBSD 15 + #Sylve while keeping all the drives and data intact.

https://blog.klop.ws/2026/03/migrate-truenas-core-to-sylve.html

Ich brauche mal wieder #Fedipower.

Bislang sichere ich meine #Proxmox #VM #Backups und die #TrueNAS Daten manuell auf einzelne Festplatten, die ich temporär einbinde.

Das würde ich gerne cleverer gestalten. Erste Idee ist natürlich #PBS (#ProxmoxBackupServer), oder alternativ ein 2. TrueNAS. Ersteres ist eigentlich unnötig, da die VM-Backups zwar lokal erstellt, dann aber zusätzlich auf den #Datenpool der TrueNAS-VM gersynct werden. Alle zu sichernden Daten liegen also im Datenpool des TrueNAS.

Ein alter PC mit 6 HD-Anschlüsssen wäre vorhanden. Das Problem für ein sinnvolles Konzept sind eher die sehr heterogen großen HDs, um daraus einen möglichst großen, sinnvollen Datenpool zu erstellen: 1x 10 TB, 1x 4 TB, 5x 2 TB, 1x 1,5 TB, 4x 1 TB (davon 1x #SSD), 1x 320 GB

Neue HDs / SSDs will ich angesichts des durch den #KI Hype verursachten exorbitanten Preisanstiegs von #RAM und Festplattenspeicher möglichst nicht kaufen.

Am Ehesten wären wohl die 4x 2 TB HDs für einem sinnvollen Pool verwendbar. Aus Gründen der Datensicherheit und Konsistenz als #ZFS 10, was effektiv 4 GB Speicherplatz wäre. Damit lassen sich allerdings meine knapp 10 TB Nutzdaten auf dem TrueNAS nicht sichern. Das ginge nur auf der einzelnen 10 TB HD.

Bisher habe ich die Daten deshalb alle auf die 10 TB HD kopiert und dann zusätzlich auf diverse andere Disks verteilt. Das ist aber eben ziemlich umständlich.

Vielleicht habt ihr ja Ideen, wie ich das Backupkonzept mit den vorhandenen Ressoutrcen clever gestalten kann.

#Homeserver #Datensicherung #Backupkonzept

#homelab gurus! I am considering replacing our old #Synology DS1525 with a #TrueNAS, mostly because I want to run #Immich, #Paperlessngx, and #jellyfin on it without having to deal with Syno's out-of-date #Docker implementation.

If you're running TrueNAS, two questions:

1) how hard was it to get automated backups of #Windows and #Linux systems set up? I do appreciate Syno's built-in backup tools.

2) how bad an idea would it be to run these compute loads on the NAS vs a separate compute node? We are *not* heavy users - just the two of us and we're pretty casual about home use, so it feels like loads would be pretty minimal...

Any thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I’ve recently discovered Open Archiver in a (German) YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXd2X7Ln_Vk), which allows you to archive your emails from various different email providers. It seems to be still a very new project, but it looks promising to me. And it’s completely open source.

[…]

So das neue NAS ist einsatzbereit. Das (proprietäre) Betriebssystem würde ich gerne ersetzen. Jetzt ist die Frage mit was. #ZimaOS, #TrueNAS, #Proxmox
Soll auch nicht-Nerd-Kompatibel sein.

Als Europäer können bei so einem Schritt nur noch alle Alarmglocken klingeln.

Was für eine absolute S!)"&sse.

WTF, #ixsystems! Oh mann. Echt. #TrueNAS

Welp, we may very well lose seriously the best #FOSS #NAS option we had, #TrueNAS at some point - maybe even soon. @[email protected] rightly mentioned that this smells a whole lot like the whole #RedHat/#CentOS debacle not that long ago. This sucks, but meh, I’m liking #OpenMediaVault more and more these days - prolly not as sophisticated, but certainly does the job and is super simple to setup (#RaspberryPi as first class citizen too).

Is TrueNAS Killing Its Community Edition? Say It Ain’t So! https://lowendbox.com/blog/is-truenas-killing-its-community-edition-say-it-aint-so/ #Editorial&News #freenas #truenas

If you want a sovereign NAS it is usually best to build your own. That way you know what you're getting and can pick between two good NAS distro options: TrueNAS and Rockstor. While there are other options these two stand out from the crowd.

If you want a commercial open source device from Europe then buying a Rockstor system from Broadberry Data Systems seem to be pretty much the only option.

7/n

#opensource #rockstor #truenas #digitalsovereignty #nas

TrueNAS devices can be bought from iXsystems, but that means buying a devices from an U.S. vendor, which is not optimal from digital sovereignty perspective.

Broadberry Data Systems, an UK-based company with multiple offices around the world offers Rockstor-based storage servers in the enterprise price range.

OpenMediaVault-based devices don't seem to be available at all.

¿Os acordáis que volví como un miserable a #Storj con el rabo entre las piernas para mi copia de seguridad de #TrueNAS deslocalizada?
Ya os lo recuerdo.
He hecho pruebas recuperando servicios, y en efecto, todo bien. Así que desactivo las copias en Backblaze.
Dejaré algún tiempo las copias que hay allí, pero vamos que no tardaré en borrarlas.
A su vez, debido a que consumo poquísimo de Storj y me van a cobrar 5 dólares sí o sí, he metido una copia de TODO lo que hay en el NAS.

Took me three days to get Matter over Thread working on my #HomeAssistant. Bought a #ZBT-2 but sent it back, because it didn't work and bought a #Sonoff MG24. But it was the fault of the VM where HA was running in on my #TrueNAS server. Virtual NIC's don't play well with ipv6. So decided to move HA from my IOT network to my General network. I also missed the step syncing my credentials (whose idea was it to put that in the "Troubleshoot" menu?? Ok, probably was a logical place).

The EMC disk shelf decided it wanted to ramp the fans to "taking off the flight deck of an aircraft carrier", so I decided to updated all the Proxmox nodes, the NAS, and then power cycle the EMC disk shelf.

Fortunately, that worked and everything is back online. Definitely a pain in the ass though...
