Can TrueNAS Scale Replace your Hypervisor?

Zima was the shizznit! I heard they out lawed it due to not being able to detect it on the breathalyzer. If that's the case I can see why. Politicians can be openly drunk voting on your rights, with the power of control. Do as I say not as I do.

Yes. but just not made for that purpose its very awkward and anoying

can you run an OSX vm?

This "Deeebian" gives me cringes

I would really like to know what you think about truenas scale in its current state. Can it do what needs to be done for VMs and containers. Should we be switching to bluefin? Or should we be using proxmox and truenas (core or scale not sure which) in a VM?

Worth it for the Archer reference.

Is there any downside to running TrueNAS as a VM within Proxmox?

Well i am goung to run a VM in TrueNas with PFSeance wish me luck..

It was a mistake i had a hyper v and freenas running on it b4 now i have truenas running bare metal and i would say its one of my biggest mistake. Dont get me wrong. With docker image you can get most thing done but dont have that flexibility is kinda sucks.. now im in a progress of configure and building another computer to run truenas and the old hardware will be a vm box probably running proxmox.

I have a question, Do I need 2 discrite gpu for my Truenas in creating virtual machine?

I really fucking like your content. The vibe is immaculate and you see me like an IT pro's Techie

I would be very interested in seeing the difference between the VM's drive subsystem configuration

Excellent explanation. This was really impressively done. Much higher polish than a year before.

On How about a video on how to enable PI HOLE in TRUENAS SCALE Thanks ! Thanks for your video. They make life easier.

Would love more videos in truenas scale. Is it possible to go from core to scale without reinstall?

virturu machine

I've tried building VMs with TrueNAS Scale's built in hyperviser, and encountered these issues:
1.The VMs can see all the other machines on the same network except the TrueNAS host itself. I've seen posts on the TrueNAS forum suggesting making a bridge in TrueNAS network menu, but this didn't work for me.
2.I tried passing through an nvidia GPU to a windows 10 VM. Once I install nvidia's driver inside the VM, it becomes choppy as hell and incontrollable.

yes, details to set up video needed. otherwise your videos are just a marketing thing. most of us want technical videos to know how to do these complex things.

There is an annoying beep sound

Thanks Jeff, great stuff as usual. Could you do a Video on running OPNSense in a VM on TrueNAS Scale please?

Go hyperconverged. Run esxi or proxmox and pass through your hba hardware to a vm and run truenas there. Then use truenas as a nfs for the hypervisor vm storage. Have been doing this since 2012.

What do you attribute the file performance difference to between Scale and Core and do you anticipate a closing of that gap?

would be very interesting in showing how to virtualize a macOs machine in Truenas Scale

Debra and Ian Murdock = Debbie + Ian = Debian. Please not Deeeebian

Thanks a ton for the great content. I have found your videos quite helpful as I find my way around this “new world” of self-hosting / home lab setup.

In a Proxmox + TrueNAS or OMV setup, what is best approach for ZFS Storage Pool. Is it best to setup the zpool in Proxmox for use by the NAS software or is it better to setup the zpool from within the NAS software?

I'd really love to see you try to setup an opnsense VM in TrueNAS Scale!

I'd recommend the Einstök Icelandic White Ale with that ;)

Good TrueNAS video great beer review

For me, the file server capabilities of trueNAS are much more important than the virtualization features and I don’t really want to deal with multiple boxes so I have a few VMs running, it works fine but I am looking forward to advancement in regards to vm management and features. The ability to run containers is fantastic though.

How about showing us how to make a network bridge so a VM can contact the host. I built a Zabbix 6.0 VM, but it cannot talk the a Zabbix Agent running on the TrueNAS Scale host.

im curious... are you German? 🤔

How did you get the P4 GPU to show up in the TrueNas environment?

Dropping by to say that if you haven't taken the time to upgrade to TrueNAS Scale yet, take the down-time and DO IT! All of my weird performance quirks and suddenly fixed.

I'd love to see a review of how TrueNAS Scale deals with Docker as that is a particular shortcoming of Proxmox.

Scale is all about those k8s apps... so much simpler care and feeding than VMs, especially once you add the TrueCharts catalog

Hm. TrueNAS Scale vs Proxmox. Using Proxmox now, but would like the TreuNAS ZFS control, but don't want to give up the Proxmox VM control. Add in the ability in Proxmox to do PCIE Passthrough for GPU and now even the Nvidia core splitting in it. If TrueNAS Scale can handle that, then I would say we're on to something here.

can you mount an existing KVM machine to scale, or migrate from a different scale server?

I need some help pls :( Just changed from Truenas core to scale and cant read ISOS for Vms, I get this error:
Error while creating the CDROM device. [EINVAL] attributes.path: 'libvirt-qemu' user cannot read from (Path) Please ensure correct permissions are specified
I gived all permissions trough the shell, any idea?? Ty

What would you recommend, i only have one computer and want to run a NAS and Server (win svr 2016) on the same machine, would you recommend running 2016 with hyper-v and a truenas vm or a trunenas installation with a windows server vm?

Now if it was only easy to port a Proxmox VM over to TrueNAS Scale, without losing any data. Ideally, you would just be able to download the raw/qcow VM disk file and run it on TrueNAS.

You can but is a bad idea

What is the trackball mouse you use, kind sir? I looked in your amazon parts list, but I couldn't find it, likely because I'm cursed with not being able to see things right in front of me, but I would love to try it out.

LOL! You said 'DEEB-ian'! :)

Are you able to do Mac Monterey VM in Truenas Scale ? and if yes, how please ?

a series starting with a step by step, ground up build and then config, then onto virtualization would be great. I have always wanted to build a full sim of a house network in 1 physical box with everything. Router PFsense, windows and linux workststions, Servers, anyway just a thought

I miss the Zima! ROFL!!!

Since nobody had done the Scale portion of TrueNAS Scale. Why not show the scale portion on three or more computers.

VirtIO seems like a good topic for a video 👍

I would like to see a fair comparison between running proxmox or TrueNas Scale, with benchmark. Is there even a challenge?

Debian is a contraction of Deb (Ian Murdock's college girlfriend), and Ian (Ian Murdock). Deb-ian, not Dee-Bee-in.
