Migrating from TrueNAS CORE to TrueNAS SCALE on TrueNAS Mini

[@TrueNAS]

Beware: Migrating TrueNAS from CORE to SCALE is a one-way operation. Attempting to activate or roll back to a CORE boot environment can break the system. You cannot upgrade CORE systems with High Availability enabled (HA) to SCALE HA. TrueNAS SCALE is Linux based, so it does not support FreeBSD GELI encryption. If you have GELI-encrypted pools on your system that you plan to import into SCALE, you must migrate your data from the GELI pool to a non-GELI encrypted pool before migrating to SCALE.

Glad to hear it! We strive to make it as easy as possible, just how we'd like it.

Awesome! I have been waiting for this video for a while. Now I have a weekend project!! Can anyone suggest some good apps to try out?

If this is one way only I wonder what they consider the future of CORE to be.

This is in their blog: "Given the reliability issues of CORE plugins described above, iX intends to only support these plugins until early 2025. For TrueNAS Enterprise 13.0 customers, official plugins will be supported for appliances covered by a support contract. In the next two years, we expect CORE users to either: 1. Migrate their plugins to personally managed jails and remain on CORE 2. Migrate from CORE to SCALE and rebuild their applications using the simpler Apps or VMs"
