Comment on Am I corrupting my data?
3dcadmin@lemmy.relayeasy.com 2 months agoWell erm that I can’t get around… but I guess it depends on what you want to self host. I use truenas as a storage solution, standalone and it works very well for that - I have had it up and running for years and years. It also stores personal files and is not exposed to the internet apart from updates and a few other things. Then I have an old 4-node server from Supermicro which hosts the stuff I need and uses truenas to store the data. Now that is probably overkill but the data is safe and backed up well. Truenas has apps for a lot of things, and other ways to host docker containers if you have the latest scale community edition. So perhaps you could do it that way

Yeah, but I don’t have two separate machines, that’s why I’m using Proxmox. And I used TrueNAS previously, with TrueCharts, and I wasn’t happy. It was pretty unstable and finnicky for me, and hard to go back to, after running docker in a clean Debian VM, which has been rocksolid so far. Still, thanks for your suggestion

Like I said - each to their own. truecharts the apps are pretty much known to be more unstable as well, says that everywhere in the documentation. Truenas if it’s up to date, using their app catalogue with stable selected is pretty rock solid for everyone.

Also I have to say that the whole idea of truenas is moving towards enterprise even if you self-host it. They’d much rather you bought a whole system than on your cobbled together old stuff. That’s why it is now community edition, a simple way of saying you are gonna get bugs and things that don’t work

You’re right, their own app catalogue is stable, but I like trying out new docker apps constantly, and I feel like I’m limitted in my options if I only use their catalogue. Still, thanks for your replies.

I get that - it is never going to replace a true docker setup. However I am pretty happy with what I can achieve on my personal truenas setup, and it is NOT exposed to the web which appears to be perfectly fine.
