You actually don’t need to learn either of them, they did a really good job of making the system user-friendly
Comment on Proxmox running TrueNAS and NextCloud or Nextcloud on TrueNAS via Docker?
tapdattl@lemmy.world 10 months agoFrom the brief research I just did, this does seem like a good direction to take. However I’m doing a lot of learning right now and I’m trying to stick with just one or two technologies at a time and adding in Kubernetes and Helm is a little beyond me right now.

Nobody should run k8s/k3s without understanding how they work lol, that’s a recipe for lost data.

How so?
As long as you set the app storage to the array, all you need to do is look after the backups on the array and it all works beautifully.
That’s something you should do anyways
Docker ftw

Then you’re similar to me. I setup a new truenas scale server with the intention to replace a debian server that’s running dozens of docker containers via docker compose. No, it can’t be done. Options are k8s and virtual machines. That’s it. I can’t even run borgmatic.
What I’m doing is sharing the storage via iscsi to the debian server (it’s like a virtual disk image) using 10gb fiber. But now I have two servers, and the truenas one can never afford a second of downtime, if that one turns off it’s like yanking drives from a running system.
Now, if I had time I could definitely learn k8s and rewrite all my docker compose yml files but I have no time, it feels like a completely different concept
The available applications out of the box on truenas scale are just 96 and only few of them are actually useful. There’s a way to add a second unofficial repository (true charts) that adds another 500 apps, but the list is weird. There are like 5 Minecraft servers but not a single standalone database. No mariadb, MySQL, mongo and so on

That’s assuming those applications even work. Most of them are broken and its really hard to push fixes.

yeah i tried some of them and then i just gave up. For example, the way diskover data is configured by default is to index and show stats of an empty directory with a test file. And the free version allows to index a single directory, so…
Change the default directory to your main one? The documentation consists in:
yes, that’s it. Very useful

What a great documentation ahaha
