#truenascore — Public Fediverse posts

why can #truenasCore not keep up with 1 client?

Für einen Initialen Test des alten Thecus 4200 Eco werden es die alten 500er Satas bestimmt noch tun. #truenascore auf alter Hardware, der d525 mit 8gb RAM ist keine Rakete, aber 4bay Wechselrahmen wachsen nicht auf Bäumen. Die Security Keys backen dauert jedenfalls schon Mal ne Weile 🤣

Motto: lieber offsite mit alter Hardware als kein offsite.

In some hidden place there is an interesting update on zvault.io.

TrueNAS Core is dead and replaced by TrueNAS Scale based on Linux. I had experimented with zfs on linux before and have mixed feelings..
Anyone tried the core fork zvault?
#truenas #freebsd #truenascore

https://www.zvault.io/

It's going pretty well!

I use #TrueNASCore and its Cloud Sync feature, which is based on #Rclone. And I decided to setup the sync to Hetzner using SFTP.

My first upload attempt had many failed files, because I didn't RTFM and tried using 16 simultaneous connections when Hetzner says their limit is 10, and 8 is advised for SFTP:
https://docs.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/access/access-sftp-scp

The second attempt successfully uploaded 342 GiB at ~7.25 MiB/s.

Then I tested downloading 17.624 GiB of that, at ~44.2 MiB/s.

i'm convinced #trueNASCore can't actually be an #openVPN client - at least for my vpn provider

#TrueNAS 25.04 Released For Unifying SCALE & CORE Offerings
TrueNAS 25.04 is notable for unifying their #Linux-based #TrueNASSCALE and #TrueNASCORE #FreeBSD-based platforms. While TrueNAS was previously known for its BSD base, Linux has proven viable for this network attached storage platform. TrueNAS 25.04 is powered by the Linux 6.12 LTS kernel while employing the #OpenZFS file-system support.

#TrueNAS 25.04 "Fangtooth" Beta Unifies#Linux SCALE & #FreeBSD CORE Efforts
It was released on Thursday as another step toward unifying #TrueNASCORE derived from FreeBSD and Linux-based #TrueNASSCALE.
TrueNAS 25.04 "Fantooth" is an upgrade for TrueNAS SCALE 24.10 and TrueNAS CORE 13.x. TrueNAS 25.04 beta is powered by the Linux 6.12 LTS kernel, makes use of OpenZFS 2.3, there is much faster #OpenZFS #RAIDZ expansion, new instances support, and a number of other features.

I run huo-ju's excellent port of @photoprism on FreeBSD to manage my family's complete library of pictures (~25K):
https://github.com/huo-ju/photoprism-freebsd-port

But performance on some DB operations was lacking: simply adding photos to albums took ~5-10s to complete. So I decided to take a look at what I could do.

Turns out all I needed was to migrate the DB from SQLite to MariaDB.

And I documented my process on a blog post:

😀 Paperless-ngx was ported to FreeBSD!
😭 It is not available for FreeBSD 13.
😎 Well, the port is there... could we package/install it ourselves?

#iXsystems: No one is being 'marooned' by #Debian focus
From now on iXsystems will develop #TrueNASSCALE faster than #TrueNASCORE (#FreeBSD), with #TrueNAS CORE becoming more of a maintenance product. SCALE is based on Debian #Linux, termed a #scaleout product, and supports #Docker Containers, #Kubernetes, #KVM, #Gluster, and a wider range of hardware than CORE.

Long time #FreeNAS/TrueNAS Core user, my next build will be SCALE for sure

@train I've been on Proxmox the last couple years on this box, though I have been running #TrueNASScale, #TrueNASCore, #TrueNAS, #FreeNAS for over a decade....

I am actually quite comfortable with the CLI interface, but having some of the plumbing worked out ahead of time is quite nice.

I was Today years old when I learned that #TrueNAS from #iXSystems has split the ecosystem into two versions, #TruenasCORE and #TruenasSCALE, and that many features of CORE are being deprecated in favor of SCALE. Ok, fine, after 13 years, I'm used to them changing things without notice.

But the thing is, SCALE is based on Debian Linux instead of FreeBSD (which it's been since day 1). Eh, what? When'd they find a new religion? That's a major rework of my environment. Decisions.

Finally managed to boot Ubuntu under #TrueNASCore with a PCI device passed trough on the AMD Ryzen platform. (it wasn't obvious, information is scattered through the internet in different forums, YouTube videos and blog posts). I hope it will recognise the sound card so I could replicate the same using a #Volumio VM. The goal is to partially replace the Denon DRA-100 as a network receiver as it doesn't seem to be stable anymore (it's passed its EOL so no no longer receiving updates).

I want to buy a pre-built and tested PC for running #TrueNAS (specifically #TrueNAScore) with sufficient CPU and memory to do several TB of #ZFS well, with an internal SSD for the OS, an internal SSD or similar for cache, at least 10 front-facing hot-swappable SATA bays, a whatever-the-hell-it-is port so I can add an external box with more drives in the future, from a UK seller. Can any of you recommend anyone?

@Megaf Hadn't heard of #OpenMediaVault, hmm! I nearly went with TrueNas Scale because it's based on Debian, which I'm more familiar with. But chickened out and went with #TrueNasCore because it's been around longer. Fingers crossed I can fix stuff if and when it goes wrong. 😬

The resilvering finished yesterday and I moved everything from the 8TB drives onto the new array. Now wiping all of the remaining old 8TB drives with random data before selling them off. Also running #badblocks on an older 4TB drive (ALWAYS treat old drives as sus) and one of the 10TB ones since it encountered an error during the normal random data wipe.

So far Seagate Exos is proving to be very fast. They have a good rep, so hoping they all hold up well over time. Since most of the load is #Plex, it shouldn't be too punishing. #storage #homelab #zfs #TrueNAS #TrueNASCore
