TrueNAS SCALE
guide-by-example
Purpose & Overview
Network storage operating system managed through web GUI.
TrueNAS SCALE is based on debian linux. ZFS file system is at the core. Running nginx and using pythong and django for the web interface.
My specific use case
My home server runs Esxi.
TrueNAS is one of the virtual machines,
with Fujitsu D3307 flashed in to IT Mode
and pass-through in to the VM so that truenas has direct access to the disk,
without any in between layer.
I hold strong opinion on backups > raid.
So I make zero use of zfs raid features and use it just as nice web GUI
for samba and nfs sharing.
Good alterntive I could have go for is openmediavault, but truenas seems a bigger player.
