Comment on Proxmox vs. TrueNAS Scale
overload@sopuli.xyz 8 months agoI think the IX Systems would rather Truenas scale be an enterprise OS, and have short patience for people learning the ropes.
Kubernetes to me is a lot more complicated than Docker, but I’m sure in an enterprise environment where you have many systems to administrate it is superior. Docker would be a better, simpler solution for a person at home with one computer being used for their personal virtualisation.
I think going back in time I would go for Unraid, and use Docker containers. Apparently it is better documented, more beginner-friendly. It is a one-off payment, but it is reasonably cheap. Community seems much friendlier too.
Bear in mind I haven’t used unraid, so potentially there is a grass is always greener situation going on here.
That said, I have thought about running a VM in TrueNAS so I don’t need to muck around with kubernetes and using a discord chat for troubleshooting.
All the best!

FYI, unRAID is moving to a subscription, so if you want to try it out, it might be good now before they charge.
Also, I thought I read that docker/portainer was possible on TrueNas. You might check it out if Kubernetes is giving you trouble. I might be wrong, but I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t work on the base Debian install.

Oh damn, that’s disappointing about the subscription.
Yep Docker is currently possible, but there’s plenty of threads discussing that it is being phased out.
But yeah, I suppose the solution could be a VM running Debian and then Docker within that.
