- I've been using TrueNAS Core as my main NAS OS for over a year now and I've dabbled with Scale while it was in beta. Now Scale is finally out of beta and ready for the big times.

Love this! The intro had us buckling over in laughter. Keep up the great work!
Haha I told y’all I was HYPE
@@RaidOwl You were not lying!
@@RaidOwl hi is there a way to do PCI passthrough (can i passthrough a nic?) not limited to gpu passthrough? and also is truenas scale open to anyone for use or is it more like like esxi style where you need a product key for the higher functions?
and would it install on regular desktop boards? or is this server family only...?
@@ozb2006 Hi, OZ B. Just wanted to weigh in with some general advise. On the hardware side of things.
It'll probably run on most configurations. The question is if you actually want to do this. For a test setup I'd say go ahead. For a production server I'd say don't! For the simple reason of reliability and data integrity.
Don't forget TrueNAS ONLY supports ZFS! Which is where ECC RAM is highly recommended..
@@Nemesis-pe7mw
hi thanks for answering me
so i have a dell poweradge t610 it's a 8 core 16 threads, 120gb of ecc mem, with 2 g nics, perc h310, IT mode, and a 9 channel expander card, the idea is to run pfsense, as my main router firewall, and a copy of an "imprisoned" (firewalled and blocked from the internet but not local network) windows 10 or 11 so i can run all the adobe products for video editing.
i was asking about running scale on a desktop due to the facts i have a regular desktop with similar spects to my server and i wanted to have it on standby as a backup system to the server with an identical config, in case the server went down...
but it looks like my plans are out of reach for the moment the backup machine is not going to happen for now, i can't get the h310 controller to work with this board to work, and so far as to my main server well my 20 1TB disks, most of them have a bunch of errors so scale does want to create a VD partition, so this stuff would have to wait for s minute until we'll have some money to buy a few hard drives.
How fortunate this came out right as I started looking into Scale! This is going to be my reference as I set it up sometime this week.
Intro is worth a giggle.
Thanks for the shoutout as well, great intro to the system and glad you showed installing things without changing too many variables the first time (and a *surprise picachu* face afterwards) :-D
Looking forward to future content!
This is undoubtedly the best 30 min I spend researching on TrueNAS Scale. Appreciate the effort put into creating such a beautiful video. Felt like leaving a comment since its very hard to find reliable content based on a newly released system. I'm glad you included True charts in this video. Love to see more content on installing and configuring apps like Jellyfin, Vaultwarden, Nextcloud and so on.
Thanks again for keeping us updated.
Great video! That intro was GOLD. Everyone at iX thanks you for your support!
Thanks for this video - exactly what I was looking for as I was wanting to move from a ProxMox + TrueNAS Core setup to a TrueNAS Scale only setup. Followed along and had mine up and running in no time. Great work!
I still can't believe the effort that is put into these videos. I absolutely love it, and the amount of help/insight these videos give are tremendous.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Much appreciated, I'm all setup and ready to go now. Thanks!
I gotta say man, this is a great video, probably the best step by step guide there is
Really appreciate this video. Got me up and running in MINUTES. Thanks again!
May take a look into this once I get my behemoth built, but for the time-being it will be just a pipe dream. Great video as always.
This explained a LOT for a first-time NASer. Thank you! Was just handed a QNAP TS-851 and have no idea what to do with it but I think upgrading ram to 8gb and going TrueNAS Scale is the way forward.
This video was helpful in deciding whether to stay with Proxmox or move over the TrueNas Scale to function as a primary hypervisor. I'm new to the hypervisor world and just a hobbyist, not an IT pro. I have struggled in certain areas with Proxmox and the GUI for TrueNas is appealing. Now that I know I can run VMs and Docker as I learn, I think Scale is the right solution. I appreciate the intro!
Thank you so much for this informative video. Now this is how tech videos should be made. I felt like I spent 32min wisely. Nice accurate information, presented in a way that kept me interested from beginning to the end.😄
Thanks for the walkthrough on the installation. My next NAS is now up and running totally sourced from the eWaste pile.
This actually fixed my problem getting TrueCharts to work lol. Fantastic video. Nice to watch and learn together. I migrated from core to scale and used 2 days to de-encrypt my storage and have just had one headache after the other making things work again. Side note, I'm not THAT fast at learning..
Very helpful video. Used it to get me started making my first nas setup.
Every time I try something different and want to go back to TNS, I come back to this video as it is an excellent reference guide! That and Lawrence's video about fixing the networking issues.
Great presentation of an awesome system. I tried TrueNAS Core, which is great, but this is astonishing.
Extremely helpful! Thank you!
Was trying to figure out what to do with my R710 I was given and this is it. Thanks for this video. Very intuitive.
Don't know why, but I've followed a few videos and they never worked. Just followed you and 100% perfect. Thank you so much!
Scale has potential but still has a lot of growing up to do. Especially where the kubernetes debacle is concerned. Love your videos
great overview, thank you. finally getting around to repurposing a 1u server to this. probably already mentioned but you can run docker-compose as a container to run compose files via the create docker container UI so pretty sweet. anyway thanks again!
This video intro is timeless. Feels like the first time every time I watch this video.
I love all yours videos. The best, thanks for your work.
Thank you for video. You explain the Truenas Scales very well.
Starting at 31:22 your hands come down in sync with your video in the corner. Cheezy little detail i know but i chuckled when i saw it. Thanks for the great video.
You can't use docker-compose, because Scale doesn't use docker. It uses Kubenetes, which can create containers based on docker images, but is quite different. The docker-compose equivalent for kubenetes is helm charts, which is what the TrueCharts catalog uses.
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
Because you know what you're doing, it makes Scale far more appealing 👍 I've been using Core for a few years now, my only sadness is having learnt a bit of FreeBSD to use Core!
What a legend! Very useful thanks
Great video, so timely... I run both TrueNAS Core and Proxmox VE. I have a system that I can load Scale on and this was a great walk through. (Liked and Subscribed).
Good Job on the Video, I have actually installed it on a host to test it out. So far it's sweet. I am trying to figure out how to cluster it with other TrueNAS Scale hosts. This would be a perfect solution for me. Thanks for your hard work sir!
Nearly without a hitch, I setup my first TrueNAS SCALE server using an ASUS Gigabyte Vision D MB, 5900X, 1 TB 980 Pro M.2 (boot) and 4 x 2TB SN850X M.2 drives in an Asus Hyper M.2 Gen 4 card. Thanks to your vid, it worked flawlessly. I'm going to add a better NIC soon, but for now this is perfect. I did have one issue with a 5600G which does not allow enough free PCIe lanes and only 3 of the 4 M.2 sticks were showing up and I couldn't bifurcate the x16 slot into true 4x4x4x4, but swapping out with my 5900X solved that issue. I had to use a small GPU card in the 3rd slot, and I'm not sure if the 2nd slot can take anything without affecting the x16 slot. I am quite surpsied that TrueNAS setup detected all my hardware (aside from my wifi card). Just amazing. I almost went for the Unraid, but not after reading about Btrfs performance issues. I was intrigued by its VM/container support but that's where SCALE now helps. I have some workloads that will run on the server processing files, so this should SCREAM.
i have watched this maybe 10 times this is the best guide ever
I'm just learning about TrueNas this video is very helpful love good job
Love your videos. Found your channel about a month and a half ago. I donated to your recent stream for the first time and I'll probably sub to your Patreon once I get my paycheck. Also love your humor and the little skits at the beginning of some of your videos.
Oddly on my screen after posting that comment my channel name isn't even showing up in the comment. Can anyone see my channel name on this comment? it should say "Veckson". Never seen that before lmao
That intro was epically hilarious!!!
Thank you so much. Was able to create my 1st SMB. Great video!1
Great video! The most important thing in TrueNAS Scale is.. Linux as the kernel. That opens up the door for everything!
Just come across this video, use TN Scale for little while now, got tons of stuff running on it, passing through USB devices to Home Assistant and using multiple VLANs with Docker - life is great :)
Best Truescale Video to date !
Thank you so much!
I want to thank you for one item you brought up in your video. I have a problem with the console from TrueNas Scale because it is almost half the size it should be and you brought up using your Remote Desktop to view your VM's and that worked GREAT... I have been trying to fix this problem of the console being too small and your quick response was PREFECT and now I can access the Virtual Machines like I want to.
That was very helpful. Thanks
Instant sub just because of the intro and the new shirt! The badass beard is just icing the cake.
I appreciate that my man
The intro was lit. Literally. ;-)
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Great video! I just installed TrueNAS scale hoping to move away from my QNAP but have hit a few walls. Would love to see a video on Sonarr for Scale. Not much out there atm. My main 2 issues have been not being able to see the SMB share (so cant add/import shows) and when you hit update it errors saying user doesn't have permission to do that. Liked and subscibed hoping for more great Scale content.
Love your content brother.......Love from Pakistan......Keep up th egood work and keep being original.........Just lovely..........Lovely!!!!!
Great intro!!
truenas scale is the best thing i have found for free software. the most recent update in december 2022 has made things alot better. I love it that much i have 2 truenas systems in my house
Thank you for all your videos.
Quick questions...
Where does applications get installed to? Storage pool drives?
Also, is OS drive used for anything other than to run the OS itself?
Thank you.
Enjoyed the intro 😁
I've been looking at scale, but I think I might just stick with OMV, I use a 6th gen I5 with 3 drvs, so I do like the JBOD thing.
But the thing I like best about OMV is using portainer and stacks, it's so easy, also OMV has a good KVM plugin for VMS.
I am Also using OMV with four drives. how to backup os drive? if any updates create problem?
@@kishan210790 Got to admit I don't, but I have a folder for all my containers and a docker txt file with all my docker stacks. I back up my media and important stuff via Syncthing to a old NUC, and then syncthing that to another NUC at my Son's via Tailscale. Seems fairly robust (touch wood).
So you can either Rsync the main drive or Syncthing and there are a number of plugins in OMV itself that probably do what you want.
Really great summary!! Ive just recently switched from core to scale. Can you do a tutorial on how to install a nextcloud server and tunnel it with cloudflare? Ive used your tunnel tutorial on the core version, but scale seems to be very different! Im having some trouble understanding the new docker method, would like to see another great summary on this =]
Subscribed because now I'm not the only one who lives near a train track :)
I am enjoying your TrueNas Scale videos and please continue with them. I am setting up an old Dell T110 II as a TrueNas Scale server and watching your videos I see in this build you are using a WD Ultrastar 12TB SATA drive, is this attached to a HBA controller or just the sata ports on the motherboard. I am getting a HBA 310 in IT mode and was thinking of installing WD Enterprise 6TB SATA drives in this build, or do I need to run SAS drives with the HBA so there is no problems?? I have a 3-4 enterprise drives I would like to use and not want to go out and buy some SAS drives if it is not needed / required?
Thank you for the great explanation. I have a question regarding the truenas. Do we have a safe mode in truenas.
I'm adding this to my Ventoy stick & throwing an old A4 with 8 gig ram on the workbench as we speak. Excellent Video, Very Inspirational. No this is not a Paid Advertisement LOL
I finally see the light! I was wondering for so long why people use proxmox and TrueNAS. Seemed a bit like overkill at first but now that I see how a typical home lab is set up and ran it makes a lot more sense. Just trying to decide if I should virtualize trueness or just run it bare metal.
Man all the good tech tubers live in the chicago timezone. Central as we know it here. You HH, Jeff Geerling. I feel like im in good company lol.
Great video, found it very helpful, I'm running Proxmox and then Scale as a VM. I should work out if I want to take the leap to pure Scale but my only concern is Windows VM's and how they perform.
I had just struggled through most of setting up TrueNAS Core and decided to wipe my boot drive and restart with Scale after seeing this.
Another excellent video. And i think that i will go with scale . However I have 2 questions cause i am really confused. 1st which is the best way to use plex? Direct install on truenas or on any vms? Such as win10. And 2nd cause i really cant figure it out is there any good way to use nextcloud or any other app/solution to access remotely files stored on my server. Thanks and continue your good work.
Thank you brother, I'm going to give it a second try
Do et!
Great video, thanks! Is it still possible to install Truenas on a USB key? i.e. pluggin in 2 usb keys, one with the ISO and the other one as the destination? Cheers, this video helped a ton!!!
I'm new to your channel. I enjoy your hypervisor topics. On this video, be sure to add those cards to this video, so I can watch more of your videos.
I like your content man
Excellent Video and No boring!!! :)
do have a question though, assuming that you have a beefy server/workstation(2cpus, 96gbRAM, Various Nics...) is TrueNas S, able to pick up a couple of Windows 2019 Server virtual machines + Linux at the same time?
Yeah for sure, it’s designed more with virtualization in mind so you’ll be good to go.
hi. This might be a noob question but is the hardware where you loaded up TrueNAS a DIY home server/nas or is it an enterprise hardware like dell?
great stuff. Im just new to the virtualization world and Im trying to build my homelab and this is a great since I was about to build a server with proxmox + truenas combo
Not ready to be a Proxmox replacement, but I like the direction they're going in.
I agree
I'm actually looking to migrate to Scale from Core; I hear the VM features are more robust than core.
Thanks for the video.
Great intro!
Thank you, Tim!
At the beginning of the video you talked about the possibility of running KVM, LXV containers, and Docker apps on TNS. Are LXC containers supported out of the box? I did not think they were. Have you set that up behind the scenes or something, or is this a feature they are planning on adding? The ability to run full Linux containers is one of the big benefits I see to Proxmox over TNS.
Great video! A very useful and great user experience that is important for someone who wants to start with something new!
@Raid Owl I want to ask you a question... I currently have Proxmox and running TrueNas as VM (as my testing platform). The main problem that I have is how to BACKUP of a host like you said... What is your option for backup Proxmox host (vs TrueNas Scale)? I love to play and get things broken, so I need a fast restore of a host...
If you are trying to do backups in proxmox you should deploy their other software, proxmox backup server (PBS). Unlike the built in backup in proxmox it does incremental backups. It's a good product.
As for Truenas Scale, I do t know of any backup software that integrates with it or it's KVM and Kubernetes/Docker tooling. Probably best bet for now but s leveraging ZFS snapshots and replication. However the actual consistency of those backups might be questionable in some cases, particular for databases.
I scored an amazing deal on a Dell Precision T5610 with dual Xeon E5 2650V2 processors and 16gb ECC memory! For a total of 70 bucks. The sata controller on the motherboard was dead, but a simple add in pcie raid card and it runs no problem! TrueNAS on this is truely amazing!
$70?? 😳😳😳
@@RaidOwl yeah no joke. The moment I fixed it the seller actually before hand asked me to let him know if my tinkering does fix it. After I made it work and let him know. He begged for it back, as he knew its value. But that is unfair to me as I bought it fair and square and he wanted it back for the same amount of money. Lol 😆
@@thorium9190 Yeah...hell naw you are 100% right to keep that. Awesome score!
@@thorium9190: Seller made an expensive mistake that he could’ve investigated and fixed himself but didn’t. That’s his problem - not yours. A sale is a sale. Had you discovered more faults then asked for a refund, he’d have laughed in your face.
Well done for sticking to your guns. It sounds like the T5610 has a competent, capable owner at last.
Hello,
- what is the best practice (settings in TrueNAS scale) for disks power management?
- what is the best practice (settings in TrueNAS scale) for creating a storage pool, related to data,cache/log drives allocation? and how much having cache/log drives influence the transfer speed?
- in case of TrueNAS fail (computer not disks), after reinstalling the old disks on a new machine it is possible to recreate/import the old storage pool?
Thanks in advance and Keep up the great work!
Lucian
Ok im new to TN and scale is maybe what i been waiting for. I have a Unraid nas. But with TN Scale to create a pool, do you still need to have all the HD the same size and model or certain number of drive to work with scale? Ty again for the video.
Syncthing... 💪
hi i was wondering if you can use only one disk (maybe partitioned) with no pool since i will use only VM's and passthrough my phisical system disk and my gpu. can it be done ?
thanks```
Core & scale are made for different uses. For VMs you use Truenas Scale but for storage I would use Truenas Core
The way I understand it is if you plan to build-up (or build-out) a primary TrueNAS Scale *storage machine* to other server storage nodes, then you start with TrueNAS Scale.
Please, would someone correct me if I state that when you build-out multiple storage servers, they don’t need to be the exact same model/generation, or exactly similar specs (aside from ECC RAM, etc.), to create a cluster - or even be from the *same manufacturer*?
I’m planning on loading the primary TrueNAS Scale installation onto an old HP server first, then building-out to different model HP servers - then out to Dell servers and some SuperMicro storage arrays. (Yes, it’s going to be a real mongrel cluster)
Obviously, I’m keen to get the concept correct before beginning (!). If you do have a helpful comment, it’d be very welcome.
Very Good video and just what I need to get started!!!
Just completed my initial TrueNAS Scale setup with an ASUS AMD ITX m/b in the SilverStone DS380 case. The setup was extremely quick and relatively easy - I had this video going in another browser while I went through my initial first login and setup. There is literally no space to spare in the DS380 (this is a completely headless configuration). I don't know that I need any of add-on apps since I'm just after online storage in my local wifi network for my desktop and for our Apple devices (Iphone/Ipad). Currently copying a big tranche of 'archive' data from the desktop to the NAS (around 5tb), once that is done, I'll be looking to copy all the photos on all the devices over to the NAS. 7 drives in the pool instead of the 8 installed, due to a back plane issue with the DS380 drive cage on drive #3. I accepted TrueNAS recommendation on pool configuration and its been off the races since.
please make more video's about scale, have not installed it yet, planing on doing it soon is there a way to do PCI passthrough not limited to gpu passthrough?
Please make a tutorial on LACP. Thanks you! ♥
Probably a billion videos out there but I only seem to be able to learn from yours so if we could see a setup in-depth with the Plex app and using gpu transcoding with it that would cool :)
I agree that a video on GPU passthrough for the Plex app would be great.
Nice work! What about Minio/SE features?
Hi Raid Owl, when you were talking about the apps you were referencing docker compose. However, as far as I know TrueNAS is using Kubernetes, this is also supported by some on the options I saw.
Why would you mix docker compose and Kubernetes? I understand you might not know much of Kubernetes, however in my humble opinion it's far beyond what docker compose can provide.
I recently got hit with Deadbolt on my Asustor; attack vector was the ADM update process. I want to start my own HomeLab and ditch the Asustor NAS, and I am looking at this software. Obviously recommended, but things like VPN and (maybe) NginX Proxy Server easy to set up here as well (I am guessing through Docker)?
Great video. One of the reasons I switched was the ease with which you did the GPU passthrough, but it seems like it only works that way on TV or youtube video. The device shows up in the Isolated GPU and can be selected, but when you go to the device to add it, it throws an error. My GPU is in the IOMMU 0 group and it is the only thing in the group, however it does not show up as a PCI device if you try to add it to the VM utilizing the VM's Devices screen. The weird thing is the iGPU can be passed through without issue so I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if there is something different that needs to be done beyond what you did.
Also, keep up the great content!
I'm using a few cheap parts and my old gaming PC case for a NAS, since with all the removable parts mounted it can fit 6 HDDs, plus 3 more 5.25' bays if I need more space. I installed TrueNAS Scale on a really old 2.5' 80gb drive I had lying around, for testing and just because i don't really have any other use for that drive. I heard that you can backup the configs and replace the system drive easily, so might as well just use that old drive until it dies.
I haven't added my other HDDs because...well.....I forgot to buy more SATA cables.
One thing I wanna try is keep the old optical drive that is still on that case. How does one go about adding an optical drive to TrueNAS? cause it would really come in handy. I still use it often to rip CDs and whatnot.
Hi. Will it make you change from Proxmox to truenas scale ? I already set up Proxmox, but i think (based on your video here) i like truenas scale more for how they managed storage. So for you, your use, what are the pros and cons ? and what would it takes you, to make the switch ?
thanks.
VM clustering is not supported on this first release of TrueNAS SCALE, so in that regards it's just not yet feature complete in comparison to Proxmox.
Another question i may have : how to run a Macos Monterey VM in truenas scale ? is it possible ?
Well, basically if you want Kubernetes/Docker, a slightly more straightforward process of creating network shares, and are okay with the "promise" of future scale-out storage with multiple Truenas Scale nodes, then Truenas Scale is probably for you.
If you are okay with LXC/LXD containers instead of Kubernetes/Docker (at least out of the box), a more robust implementation of KVM (especially via the GUI), ready today storage and node clustering (ceph, Gluster, etc), built in tools for "storage replication between multiple nodes for HA/failover (I do with with ZFS and it works really well), and just a more flushed out tool as a VM hypervisor, then proxmox is a better choice.
Oh and I'd say backups favor proxmox with their PBS software and Truenas doesn't have an equivalent that I'm aware of that will integrate with their KVM and Kubernetes implementation.
Will be interesting how things progress in some of these key areas for Truenas Scale over the coming years. If they can really flush out the hypervisor side of things and especially multi-node solutions for HA/failover then they will have a real case to fully replace proxmox. Although as of today I'd say proxmox for me is a LOT more performant.
Hi there, nice video and usefull. There is a way to setup PXE server on truenas(scale or core)? I was unable to find something on the web.
Is there any way to utilize built in Intel IGPU as for Plex HW transcoder?
Great walk-through for noobs like me. What did you do with the other SSD that was listed during the installation? I noticed you had 2 SSD and used the larger one for boot but no mention of the smaller one for usage. Wouldn't it be better to use the smaller SSD for boot and the larger one for app or VM for better performance than the HDD storage pool?
That SSD will be used as a SLOG cache for my main pool.
@@RaidOwl Wow, thanks for the instant response! Then I totally agree with using part of the boot disk for storage for more efficient use of the disk space. Hopefully that feature goes into the upcoming releases.
Question. Just set up an old PC, Intel quick sync, windows 10, with Plex. It sits in the other room and works. It’s connected through windows file sharing.
Why use a NAS os?
I’m middle age but didn’t grow up with computers so I’ve never used Linux or command prompts. I build my gaming pc’s but it’s simple putting pieces together. Making a home made NAS sounds kinda fun. Watching your videos this week and all this seems like a fun (and maybe frustrating) project.
But, again… what’s the purpose of a home server when file sharing works. (And in my case just a plex server)
Wow I didnt know about that catalogue
Ooo I'm probably going to be replacing proxmox now.
What u sujest to store picture home video and music on a das or nas and wat be best for budget
