TrueNAS Scale Apps - Official, Unofficial, Docker, and Kubernetes

Are you running TrueNAS SCALE?

Awesome tutorial! Previously I had so much trouble getting a docker image to run, but I got it on the first try after warching this.

Tim, this was a great video and really interesting, especially about you getting behind the scenes with Kubernetes, Docker settings, and command line info. Would love more detailed Truenas Scale, Docker repo setups with variable settings examples and K3s tutorials for Truenas Scale basics, help and troubleshooting. Thanks for your geeky mind and being so inquisitive. You cracked me up about saying "You do not need to know this!" , but Tim, We Do! :)

With TrueNAS on a small lab to test applications and develop applications could be a good option instead of intalling a PRoxmox VM right? sounds like an easy way to get K8s and Docker

awesome video

i currently have nothing in my applications even with original install and i have no idea how to get past that.

have you done VLans for docker, or Kubernetes on Truenas Scale, i cant get it working

Ix could certainly make it easier to discover the TrueCharts repo. I spent ages battling docker images from the docker hub before I discovered TrueCharts. If you want to use things like docker-compose, I'm thinking the way to do it is to put in some high-speed networking and run iscsi to a separate application host. PCIE gen3 10/25/40G nics are pretty cheap, so an old xeon / x79 workstation should be fine and you can back-to-back them if you don't want to use a switch.

Hey Tim, Could you do a video on how to Deploy Apps that have dependencies? What I mean is like if I wanted to deploy Wordpress and present it with SSL like Let's Encrypt. How would that be configured / deployed? Sorry, I know it's a dumb question however, I am real new to this type of technology and could use the info/help.

Great video Tim, I am new to TrueNAS Scale but to be honest I absolutely love it. I think after watching this video again I have figured it out. Thanks again Tim I appreciate you.

Anyone know how to install pterodactyl on truenas scale?

please more video like that

could i docker login on truenas scale? for a app that need it to run.

Great Video! I am trying to install scrypted on docker on truenas scale, but running into some trouble! Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello, How would I determine how to ping the NTP server? Using telnet how do I know what ip address to use? Thanks! Great video

Thank you tech Pedro Pascal 🙏

the way you speak sounds a bit like text to speech

Please how to install cyberpanel on docker image, thanks

You are welcome! <in ASL back to you :) >

Really helpful demo.

After catching the end of your vid, I tried playing with adding an nfs share via manifests using portainer and so far so good. Will be validating between a few servers instances, but been struggling with this for a bit and this video and a walkthrough I bookmarked a year ago finally got me going.

What if you don't have the Apps tab on the left? Upgraded from FreeNAS where I did not have it and figured it would be there after the upgrade, but nothing....

I'm running Scale RC1 and the options are completely different. Most confusing is that I can't set a port for pihole < 8000 (I think), so I can't set its port to 53, as it is by default in this example, and as EVERYTHING is going to expect a DNS service to be. I'm guessing that I'll need to forward it as I would for any other docker container, but I don't see where that can be done. So far, not a big fan of scale.
Edit: I was working with the Official App. The TrueCharts version is more like what you see here, and MUCH easier to get working.
Now: to figure out if I can expose USB devices to the containers for my HomeAssistant dongles and such.

Good video. Thanks

This will be the reason truenas scale wont go for any serious mission critical environment 🤨. Imagine running kube and pihole on top of it on enterprise storage sever… but this will be super-good for homelab

Have you found a way to add labels to any of the containers?

Hey how about a plex apps install with external acess , and maybe trow a nvidia transcoding gpu in there :)

Very informative.
Made the switch from FreeNAS 11.2 to TrueNAS Scale, so I could add JellyFin on my NAS.
I'm also trying to install Zoneminder on it as-well (previously, I had it running inside a Jail).

Performance wise, is it better for these apps to remain as separate docker images, or would I be better off making a Linux VM?

Anyone know of a LAMP (or just AMP) chart for TrueNAS Scale? All I want is a web server with PHP support, with the root path in my pool so I can edit files easily etc and create my own index and basically host my own site. I don't need anything complicated, no DBs needed etc, just a static php page with my own code stuff

You take about how things like UMASK is important and then say absolutely nothing about it or what good choices might be and for what reasons. Quite frustrating to watch.

I am thinking why i can set port to 80 to custom docker images...

can TrueNAS also works as print server?

Thank you. Helpful video. But horrible background music. You really don't need to create distraction.

I just found one BIG difference between Truecharts and the official Apps, the ability to add certificates to the app. Compare Next cloud as it is in both and you will see. Not saying it can not be done, but it is more difficult. I hope they change this.

Hi everyone
I’m not an expert.
I build my own nas, i install truenas scale, nextcloud app. Easy but i’m trying to install an application not referenced : Umbrel. Its a bitcoin node.
For that, i need to create an docker.
But i never do that.
Someone can help me please.
Thanks 🙏

10/10 video, subscribed instantly. :) Perfect tempo/pace in video.

Johnny Depp doing tech guides now?

Have you created any tutorial for add on software like Radarr Sonarr SABNZB to use with Plex?

do you recommend using the same pool for app config data as the one the apps are hosted on? Is there any problem with using a separate pools for the app config?

I did find minor flaw. When I installed TrueNAS SCALE 22.02.2.1 played with it then up graded to 22.02.2.2 later. When I rebooted it reverted to 22.02.2.1 and messed a few things up, I had to go to system boot to manually change which version to boot to. My Samb was gone, and the icons for Truecharts were gone as well.

Tim, I have been spending days trying to get something to work and have not seen a video of website that shows how. I have the latest version of everything. On my Proxmox host, I created a VM and installed TrueNAS Scale. I did iSCSI mounts for my hardrives into the VM and created a bridge for a dedicate NIC and passed it into the VM with out an IP. I set the IP in the TrueNAS server, like what you do with PFSense. I created my pools, datasets, users, and shares in TrueNAS and I can mount and access the SMB shares on Windows and the Linux shares in Linux VM's. I can mount the NFS shares on my Proxmox host at the commandline or with the Proxmox GUI but I cannot access anything on the mounts. The commandline and GUI freeze up when any attempt to use the mount points. This only occurs with my Proxmox hosts and trying to mount and use a NFS shre in a TrueNAS Scale VM. No firewall in place. I would really appreciate a video walking through the config and use of TrueNAS Scale NFS shares and Proxmox. All the TrueNAS Core videos don't line up with what TrueNAS Scale interfaces allow. Thanks in advance and I hope this is an video you could do and publish quickly.

tech genius!!!.......... question: I have a Chinese (nothing against them) IP camera that uses a proprietary android app. Any idea how i can run that app in a TrueNas Jail? The camera likes to tunnel signals back to a strange IP when it is connected to the internet. Thanks.

The "Advanced Settings Explained" part of the video, doesn't explain anything.

Oh. my. god. This is awesome! I bellieve that to show CLI is better than not to show. Personally i am trying to learn some devops, so in-depth tips are very interesting for me. But definately there are subscribers who want configure things with mouse. so maybe it is better to show some hardore cli in the end of the video or in the other video (like David Bombal - he created separate channel for cool hardcore stuff)

Hey, thanks for stepping through the options Tim! I like scale because its linux based and its a great compliment to proxmox.
Also, I hope you can do a video on running Scale VMs and the VM networking. I tried following forum posts and guide, but no working results.

I installed Homebridge and it's running fine. But everytime I need to restart the container I have to reapply my config, and sometimes plugin's. How can I make it keep my config an d plugin's ??

Tdarr on truenas webgui please :)
