Lmao the first 10 minutes sounds exactly like something I would waste an entire day doing. Thanks for the heads up!

[@TrueNAS]

Great video, thank you for your feedback as well! We appreciate you checking out #TrueNAS CORE! If you can send us a message or just respond to this comment, we'd love to send you some merch items (to make up for the time spent tinkering with TrueNAS/the USBs)!

[@rabbirt]

i'll accept some merch 😁

[@trumanhw]

Sure, an All Flash array will about cover it. Thanks

[@80fiatfreak]

Been using FreeNAS since 11.3 and migrated recently to TrueNAS Core 13. I definitely appreciate the UI improvements that iX has made and the entire experience of setting up and maintaining/expanding my home NAS. I have not found a better operating system for my use case.

OFFICIALLY THE BEST EXPLANATION .. Covers ACLs, what things mean, and speaks candidly about issues. THANK YOU!

[@Aaron-iz3hk]

Your USB woes were exactly the issue I was having about 6 months ago. All of the documentation I could find said to use a USB stick to boot. After 3 attempts in 5 days I just used a different OS. Now though, I may switch it up! Thanks for the video and new project idea!

[@call_me_stan5887]

I'm using 2 x crucial MX500 SSDs from day one. USB stick? Never worth the risk.

[@chadm3985]

You're spot on about the plugins. I've been using FreeNAS and now TrueNAS for six years and it's almost always a pain. It only breaks once or twice a year but because I'm not a power user I forget everything that fixed it the last time...or it breaks in a whole different way! Great video. The intro was hilarious.

TrueNAS 12 is fantastic.

[@LordRaven256]

I had the same problem when trying to install TrueNAS. I used a 64GB USB 3.0 stick as boot medium and it got stuck during the boot process at different points. From the messages I could tell the loader had problems reading from the stick. I figured TrueNAS was having problems with USB 3.0, so I went out and bought a 16GB USB 2.0 stick and used that. It worked right away. I installed TrueNAS on the 64GB USB 3.0 stick and it works perfectly since then. Really weird. But thanks to your video I know now that it's actually a heat problem. I never would have guessed that!

[@MobyTurbo]

On top of that the screenshot showed a WD Red recomendation for the drives, those are SMR now. (Though the Red Plus's are fine.)

[@brokebothmearms9237]

I just setup a TrueNAS vm in proxmox a few days ago. Planning on building a whole NAS eventually.

[@n.o.b.s.8458]

My god, I was getting real into sharpening some tech skills and working on projects during the pandemic. Slapped together my first gaming PC and started trying to install this. I kept on trying, crashing, changing something and repeat. I dropped the project entirely 6 months ago. 2 days ago I finally faced the beast again. After a few failed installs I popped freenas on my ssd. Worked first time. I shared my first files on samba within 30 minutes. It's got good core functionality, but my god I pity all the time myself and others have wasted on usb install.

[@alonzosmith6189]

Thank you, setup my 1st Truenas box to store my family data. Working remote access next.

[@cjbl]

Lol “obtuse and broken” what a recommendation! Nice run-through L1

[@bertnijhof5413]

Don't worry about the SSD cache (L2ARC) I used it too with 8 GB DDR2 and a memory cache (L1ARC) of max 2 GB and L2ARC in a 64 GB partition and the LOG in a 4 GB partition and the remainder was the Host boot partition. I used 3 disks in total 1.8 TB. The SSD cache really helped with the initial boot times and Initial App load times from the Virtual Machines. Linux VM boot times were 15 - 25 seconds instead of >60 seconds. After those initial actions the VMs and Host run from the L1ARC, assuming you run only 1 or max 2 VMs in the remainder of that 8 GB. You only have an advantage from the LOG for synchronous IOs, like done by VMs and databases. The SSD cache helps with initial activities (booting VMs. loading Apps and loading database indexes, etc), once everything is loaded, most IO will be served by the memory cache. Afterwards the SSD cache is only useful as overflow for the memory cache. For a home file server with mostly 1 or 2 active users, the SSD cache is not very usefull. If you don't have OpenZFS 2.0 from begin December, don't switch off your computer, but suspend it (only memory has power), to avoid the cache content being lost. Note that only the latest OpenZFS 2.0 keeps the SSD cache content after power-off and reboot.

[@VikingDudee]

You are about the only person thats ever really went into details about the permission system even though it was still mostly basic just to get it up and running, I tried my hand with TrueNAS Scale, oh man oh man the permission system is such a mess, they have so many users that over ride other users, I somehow made a user that could only delete files, but couldn't write or move files or add files, then I somehow made that user able to delete only zip files, but everything else was write protected! I think im staying with core....

[@rancidbeef582]

FreeNAS / TrueNAS is great for what it's supposed to do: being a NAS. I don't run any plugins or VMs on it anymore, though. Instead I use another box running XCP-ng with tons of VMs with all the applications I want to run. It connects to FreeNAS for storage via iSCSI over a 10Gb dedicated link. Works great!

[@hugevibez]

Ryan video? Hype! Love your sense of humor man

[@isaacjjones]

"Obviously, nobody's using Stadia." (1:57) Ryan=SAVAGE!

[@theWanAndOnly]

Just a reminder: the usb 3.0 usb thumbdrive error also happens when creating a windows boot drive. Either use an external drive or stick with usb 2.0

[@VigneshBalasubramaniam]

I would really be interested in your take on TrueNAS Scale, the Linux based version of this OS.

[@smoke79x]

[@steven44799]

@asdrubale bisanzio if it can make it a point and click user friendly gluster setup, that will be big.

[@LanceThumping]

@asdrubale bisanzio I hope it matures soon. Access to more popular jail/sandbox tools like docker will be fantastic. Also I've been salty for awhile about not being able to get some services that rely on .Net to function running because Microsoft refuses to release for FreeBSD. Getting a Linux version of what I have but with that added compatibility will be amazing. Only downside is setting everything back up exactly how I want it again :P

[@manw3bttcks]

Nobody cares about the Linux vs GNU Linux pedantry

[@Zetharion1]

Brother-in-law bought a Western Digital MyCloud 5 X2c ultra or something like that. Their software is very un-intuitive for someone that knows nothing about a NAS. I have an older computer with I think 12TB of storage that I was thinking about converting into a NAS and came across this video. This looks more well designed that the solution my brother in law bought. Thanks for the vid. EDIT: Obtuse and difficult to understand is a common theme of most NAS software. They don't look at it from a novice user point of view at all.

Ryan, haver mercy with our eyes when you get that white screen in the browser. :p

[@MirkWoot]

I wish I watched this yesterday and saved myself 12hours of life too, omg, the frustrations doing just the fresh install. Before that it had broken old freenas install on disk (upgrade). And yeah, good idea to make dataset, even if there is to be only one.

[@camerontgore]

That's why I always virtualize my Free/TrueNAS There's never a problem with the virt disc and when I pass through the drives for data, all I have to do is just keep good snapshots and the is is good to go of it ever fails!

[@hahaha10001]

I've been using it ever since watching your media server series with Krista and the 2013 Great Discovery Purge. I like how everything is just there. Compared to OMV, where you need to install a plugin and do snapshots with cron jobs instead of a nice UI. But my biggest gripe has been the UI. So much wasted space and spread out buttons. Also not being able to modify the same setting for multiple VMs or jails.

[@irecasts]

i see ryan, i click, it's simple

[@larsthorwald3338]

Hm...my 10-year-old FreeNAS pool's system disk was a 16G drug store USB thumb drive. Last weekend I rebuilt the box, upgrading the drives, memory, replacing the PSU, etc. TrueNAS Core is fantastic! This time, the system disk is an SSD. Install and setup, including scheduled scrubs, S.M.A.R.T tests, and notifications took about 30 minutes. The platform is amazing! Install / setup doesn't have to hurt. Just use the SSD, or better yet, two, for a system disk mirror.

[@Oskar42]

Never had installer problems with FreeNAS or TrueNAS and i've set it up a bunch of times for various clients

I am really surprised you had so many issues with this; I had no trouble getting my TrueNAS Core systems running smoothly.

[@DeeDee.Ranged]

Having a QNAP-459 Pro from 2007 and the QTS OS is outsated as hell, installed OpenMediaVault (based on Debian buster) abt. 1.5 years ago. Didn't need to fiddle around to much to get all my data on raid 5 recognized again. Running fine since. Had a look at TrueNAS and FreeNAS but the requirements of OpenMediaVault is way more forgiving.

[@LanceThumping]

From a FreeNAS user, On SMB, something that people should be aware of is that Windows only really lets you have one mounted share per device, so if you want to be able to access all your data from a machine you are going to need some sort of user that has access to the entire pool. Plugins can be a little wonky for some things (sometimes it falls behind on updates too); Jails work perfectly but they do require all the manual setup. If your TrueNAS is the only thing that you use as a server/on 24/7 then you can definitely use Jails to handle all the other tasks you need. Snapshots work great and I recommend everyone set them up give you a fallback in case of accidents. You can also set it up to be visible to Windows Shadowcopy so you can access and restore files over SMB using the snapshots.

[@drassx615]

I have Data Hoarding too. If I hadn't lost a drive in the middle of a backup a few years ago I would still have data going back to the my DOS 5 days.

[@enixsound7620]

22:12 If you keep "Permissions Type" as Basic, you can choose Full Control under "Permissions" instead of manually selecting all of the permissions. At least, that's what I do 😉

[@billyrayduckenson5020]

Crazy, I haven't had a single issue with it. Loaded on a Samsung SSD, using for a media server. Works well with 4 10TB drives in raid.

At the beginning of 2020 I did 3 FreeNAS installs on 3 different old 64 bit Granny PCs I had. All using USB, one stable, other 2 not. Then the stable one started playing up, couldn't figure out why. Reinstalled on SSD and EVERYTHING worked smoothly. In Novemeber 2020, I now trust FreeNAS/TrueNAS and my Plex install/file share/snapshot backup is smooth as butter...I do have good hardware though, old, but good.

I'm interested in truenas scale once it hits a more stable position, but right now our system is running old freenas off of a USB.

[@SakosTechSpot]

I had the same exact issue with truenas! Spent many many hours troubleshooting. Ended up installing an SSD and calling it a day. I have videos on my channel of dealing with it.

[@nathanieldauphin1982]

Unless I missed something, it looks like you're trying to install Calibre-web without a Calibre server, which could easily be where you are having issues. Calibre is the backend, Calibre-web is the cleaner GUI that reads from the Calibre server meant to be available for external access through a VPN or reverse proxy.

[@aronjohnsson9187]

For that use case I would choose unraid. Works out of the box.

Not gonna lie I'm excited about about a the upcoming Trunas Scale video.

[@wildmanjeff42]

If you set up striping with hot spare with 2 drives you will loose all data in a drive failure , and best use for the SSD wouild be metadata for faster access. Thanks for the video. I have used KingDian 32gb SSDs for boot drives for several years with no problems, and very inexpensive.

[@heinzerbrew]

When Ryan mentioned using stadia in the bathroom he lost me, but then he turned it around and slam dunked stadia.

[@wildmanjeff42]

Truenas and freenas are both really stable storage systems. Even after years of use permissions and shares are very complicated and require a lot of trial and error. I have used Plex and syncthing with success in the past, but jails and plugins are very complicated as well, and I am not currently using them, nor have I in about a year. ZFS RaidZ2 can really save you, after about 3 years I had 2 Seagate 5TB 2.5in HDD fail in use (24hrs day ontime) Resilvering has taken 5 days with 20TB used pool so I recommend Z2 just in case, especially if all your hard drives are the same age.

[@robynbanks8516]

i was having the same exact problem while doing a full installation of a debian linux on a 64gb usb3 flash drive (trancend jet drive ) , after a couple of lengthy installations, changing between UEFI/Legacy and random failures to boot, i figured it must be a faulty disk . i didnt know that was the issue, i didnt have any problems during installation on HDD or SSD. good stuff buddy

[@matt09ad68]

last month i built a 16tb truenas server. I installed it on a usb 3 thumb drive. it took like 20 min to install and booted up fine. no problems 1 month later

[@donglobal]

Your comments are so on point about TrueNas. It's a great system unlimited storage but for the other plugins etc, I would prefer to use something else. Permissions seem to be one of the biggest bug bears I've seen on any system.

[@MichaelSmith-fg8xh]

I’ve had flakiness from truenas (and previously with FreeNAS) on the OS/boot drive and config side... but luckily it’s super solid on the data drive side (if you get really sideways just reinstall the OS and reimport your data pools). I had some network flakiness too with an intel x550 nic, it’s been good with a Chelsio t520 since. I’m ok using it for home but I’m not sure I trust the availability enough to put 100 users on it at work. A huge part of your enjoyment of the system is from using well planned hardware (doesn’t have to be unobtanium based)... HQL NIC, reliable boot drive, large number of drives, NVME write cache, 32GB+ RAM (queue the 1GB/1TB ratio argument), good cooling (drives and cpu/nic).... if you do that it’s lovely. I hear you on the separation of application and storage... I’ve been really happy having applications on another box and treating truesas as storage.

I tried TrueNAS Core on a pair of USB sticks and it worked fine. SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB 2.0. I would not recommend it but these are good quality USB. Best on a pair of old Intel SSDs.

[@travisstern5132]

I spent _days_ getting FreeNAS installed and running properly on my Intel rack server, but since I got it setup it's been rock solid for months now. One of the suggested requirements for installing FreeNAS was to use a USB 2 drive/port for the OS install, and I guess this is why lol. With a 10 gig NIC and 96 gigs of memory I can get some insane transfers to/from the NAS despite the destination being 5 spinning rust drives.

[@billlodhia5640]

Just LOVED the Stadia diss!

[@hainesk967]

It said "no default *interface* found" It was a network error, likely because the advanced settings allowed you to pick a network interface. You should also turn off NAT so that you can access it from the local network.

Glad i installed truenas on spinning rust.

[@rezidentseagull5651]

I've done USBs for FreeNAS in the past, but it's generally not great. I think I had two usb drive failures when using them for boot, although you could do a mirrored boot drive, which is neat. SSD is the way to go though as long as you have the SATA ports to spare. Even a cheapo SSD is solid for a TrueNAS boot volume

[@boanerges5723]

I learned to read forums first. I used a small cheap m.2 drive. Small m.2 drives are very cheap now. The installer says flash media, not usb drive. They aren't very clear about it, but usb drives are a current known issue.

One point on shadow copy. To access shadow copy from windows. You are required to access a dataset at the root level of the pool.

[@TheMave95]

I prefer Proxmox over TrueNAS for my home server / NAS. I know the goals of the two operating systems are somewhat different, but in the end both offer comparable features. Proxmox can manage ZFS natively, but there's no GUI for Samba management. You'd either have to install the Samba server in Proxmox or create a container (LXC) for it. It would also be possible to install TrueNAS in a VM on Proxmox and pass through the disks. Because it has a larger overhead, I prefer running Samba in LXC.

[@GobblesPlays]

A man of the people

[@STS]

Great video and walk through here. I have used FreeNAS a bit in the past mainly to present iSCSI storage to my ESX server. I just am not a fan of chucking all my storage into my hypervisor. I haven't had much free time (since we entered the upside down) to look at TrueNAS Core. The USB boot device thing was something I had noticed the last time I setup FreeNAS, disappointing but I/we push on. I personally run UnRAID for media and non-important file storage, which by total size on disk is nearly all of my data. I have been using FreeNAS server for iSCSI storage for VMs (10gb link between FreeNAS and ESX) as well as a smaller pool for critical data (PC backups, YT data, other smaller files). Haven't had a chance to compare creating a VM in FreeNAS (TrueCORE someday soon) to ESX, might need to look into it. Hopefully in the next month or two I can get my to-be-installed FreeNAS Core in fighting shape serving up some storage :)

[@BoiledLobster]

You'd be surprised how often enterprise equipment does use SD cards as boot media. A lot of cheaper server platforms use them for a boot only drive or additional cache space; more so before nvme came down in price. I would say it's still more common than using a usb drive for boot.

[@beauregardslim1914]

I'm surprised that you haven't bumped into the USB3 OS install issue before. It is definitely not just FreeBSD/TrueNAS. I've seen this problem creating OS install sticks for Windows, Linux, etc. and on system boot USB sticks for LibreELEC and ESXi. The important thing is to *write* the drive over USB2 by using a USB2 port (if you have one) or a USB2 hub/extension cable. Once done you should be able to boot in a USB3 port at higher speeds without issues. I didn't know it was a heat problem. Makes sense.

[@OtherTheDave]

Interesting... I use USB 3 flash drives exclusively because I’m too impatient for USB 2 with the size of modern “full-fat” OSs. It’s never caused a problem. I wonder what I’m doing differently?

[@beauregardslim1914]

Automatically setting shadow copy for windows on smb shares is great too, saved my brother on the server I've installed for him.

Thanks for this video. As someone who has struggled with plug-ins and permission issues since upgrading to TrueNAS it's nice to know I'm not alone.

[@yarrik701]

I have been using compact flash drives to boot FreeNAS for years. Currently running a TrueNas core system off of a compact flash drive. Not tried an SD card, I was planning on using a microSD, but may rethink that. My biggest installation problems have resulted from using older hardware where you can switch between BIOS, UEFI, and some sort of automatic mode... which, anything but UEFI seems to fail the installation with what appears to be install media errors.
