Man I can’t follow you instructions because you’re TrueNas meniu looks different than mine, I guess because I’m on a later version. Can you make a new tutorial please? Or I don’t understand something
would be curious about maxing out the ram and the possibility of using nvme ssds as cache or even as drives with a general or basic benchmark comparison. and how the cluster configuration would compare to that.
@Novaspirit Tech, I followed this exactly (Except for NFS Share, does not appear) by JellyFin does not show movies no matter what I put into the folder. Thanks
You skipped the part where we need to boot from a USB drive. The blade has one port so I have connected it to USB hub with the keyboard. I am in the bios but I don't see the drive displayed nor an option to boot from USB. Tried a different usb stick, seems to be working. Also it’s possible to select the boot device via F11 without needing to enter the bios.
I really like that you leave most things stock and not go trough all of it in a low key bored voice, pretending to know all of it like most youtubers do and make beginners kinda feel bad for not knowing.
Great video! I recently purchased the Quad Sata Hat for my Raspberry Pi 4 along with four 1TB SSDs. I'm now contemplating whether to install OpenMediaVault (OMV) or TrueNAS for my NAS setup. My primary goal is to use the NAS to back up and store all the media content from my family's Android phones, rather than relying on Google Drive. What's your advice on this?
Thanks for the guide Sticking with a basic windows SMB share until im able to get another drive and an external encolsure to use them with my old optiplexd
Now that you have Jellyfin on Truenas could you show how to connect Android, Fire TV, ect. I haven't been able to connect from my Jellyfin. Settings wise. Running an old PC as a sever. I had to upgrade hard drives and forgot how to set my settings. Your videos are always helpful. Thanks
The UI seems to have changed a bit since this video was made, with some differing options. When installing Jellyfin I only had the option for a SMB share, not an NFS one
Highly appreciate the video, although the UI is a bit different on the newer version. Can you share some insight on setting up a dedicated GPU to jellyfin and applying hardware transcoding?
Just a question if anyone knows it for the truecharts stuff but they want you to do a lot of other stuff before installing anything from the catalog. Is it really needed or just suggested since in the video you just left everything they say to change as default and it worked?
My ZimaBlade cannot get past EXTRACTING. I've tried numerous usb devices, SD cards & created with Balena and Popsicle. No matter where I install it (MMC or SSD) it fails at extracting :| Yours jumped from a single-digit percentage to like 80%... damn. I can't get passed 5% :,( Have gotten Core installed but Scale dosn't extract.
Terrible guid once truenas got an upgrade......... most of what you do no longer aligns and just causes stress and frustration. Please do an update video.
You skipped or glossed over so much and barely explained anything that this tutorial is useless for a day one beginner. Even the most basic of basic like: how to get to the dashboard, was barely mentioned.
I setup a truenas server all my photos and docs are stored on it. I had a emergency and had to go out of town for a month. My son moved in while I was gone and lost my notepad with my passwords to access my files. Any help would be appreciated. Thx
I get up to the bit where we are setting up the jellyfin app and the menu is different to what you show. There are not the same options and NFS is not available.
As always, Thank you very much for your intuitive video!! Almost two hours messing around with jellyfish on a Truenas. Uninstalled 4 times thinking I've missed configured, only to watch your video and finally find that I needed to click the "folders +" text. I sure hate this trend to use a mix of buttons and text as clickable elements in web UI's.
After finding out truenas scale based on Linux this peaked my interest right away learned some new things along the way. Appreciate you taking the required time explaining things made transition from truenas a breeze thanks for the great content looking forward to seeing more in the near future.
Great video. Quick question: In the Additional App Storage (to mount the storage with media file), why are you using NFS mount? Wouldn't it be more efficient to use Host Path? Also for the App Config Storage to use Hots Path, so that the configuration of Jellyfin survives when you delete and reinstall the application.
Managed to get it to work.. yay! Also 8:27 "You can use Virtualization if you have more ram" or, a CPU that supports KVM extensions. Which mine, apparently does not. Soo.. guess i cant do it.
Great video Don...thanks. Just used this to setup my new server. An older HP box...a real server for me to play with this time...specs are 64GB with 2xXeon(R) CPU E5-2680's & 24 cores with 48 threads. Gonna do the Apps (starting with Jellyfin) and am gonna try at least a couple VM's. And since I've got some hdwe to play with, gonna make a WIN10 box to see if it's workable! Thanks and God Bless :)
First I must say exactly video and thank you for all your hard work, but I have a question I have truenas scale installed in proxmox and I would like to share my pool or smb share with all my media files to my Plex container in proxmox is this possible, If so could you point me in the right direction please..?
to actualy get and understanding for what you and other ppl are doing i feel like i dont get the why in everything you are doing, as someone who want to get in to this stuf i feel like thats the bottle neck i have
@Novaspirit Tech I can't seem to get my media files to be detected. I followed this video and only difference I can see is Home Directory permissions at 07:29 - In the video Group/Other Read and Execute permissions are selected, but mine are are greyed out and unchecked. Can anyone assist?
Is truenas free to use? I want to make homemade server and im not sure what should i use for OS. I was thinking about trueNAS but im not sure if it is free?
how do i fix this Error: [ENOSPC] Insufficient disk space available on boot-pool (624.73 MiB). Need 5.19 GiB. i did a default installation to an SSD. i should have the space
Thanks for the video. Diving into this in the coming days. Also, would like to setup a PFSense router within TrueNAS. Any chance you could do a video on that?
QUIT DELETING MY COMMENT! It's constructive criticism, which is good. Watching this video I felt it was rushed and under-researched, I'm sorry to say. I cringed at several moments and things said. I've run both TrueNAS Core and now TrueNAS Scale (I'd still be on Core but getting a jail setup with a VPN is dice-y and annoying when not working...), and there are some inaccuracies mentioned throughout the video. 1. Unless Jellyfin REQUIRES NFS shares to be enabled simply assigning the local storage/share on the server should be fine. I've been running Plex for years now and having a local share literally shared to itself seems unneccessary and redundant to me, unless of course that's how Jellyfin official guide(s) direct you to set it all up. 2. I understand you're demonstrating how to do things with products sponsors sent you, but any NAS OS would run waaay better on better hardware that you either buy prebuilt (like from Synology or QNAP etc) or if you build a semi-monster server like mine, with 12 HDDs (10 data, 2 hot spare) an 8 Core, 16 thread AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU and a GTX 1060 3GB GPU for Plex stream transcoding when needed. It works super well and I've had very few issues with it since I erected it with its current hardware. 3. You misspoke (or otherwise assumed) that you cannot run VMs on TrueNAS Core... which is untrue. You can indeed run a VM on TrueNAS Core, albeit TrueNAS Scale's KVM/QEMU iteration being better in many many ways. and 4. I know you're just going to end up wiping the setup there, but not setting a password is a bad security practice, and to anyone watching this I recommend you don't follow this video as a legit guide. It was a quick overview (a little too quick in my humble opinion) that shouldn't be considered a guide. With all that said, I'm by NO MEANS a TrueNAS (Core/Scale) guru. Light years from it, but I just wanted to point out the stuff I found odd, and I hope it helped you, Don, and anyone else watching.
- running VPN in a VM of a NAS is not much different from running it in a jail. You need fully capable firewall between it and the rest of the local nets. - GTX1060 for transcoding? Have you measured added power consumption from it? I hope it does not utilize CUDA. 1030 / 1050Ti would do the same and consume a fraction unless you GPU is idle all the time and only uses NVENC with 0% CUDA. IIRC, 1650 Ti has even better video acceleration ASICs.
@@tomaxxamot2016 That wasn't the point of my comment but okay maybe I will. I'm not a "know-it-all" and "I don't seem like it". I just have some experience setting up TrueNAS Scale on my own hardware. Also there are countless full guides littered across TH-cam, so my video would be a spec in the wind.
#1 makes sense. I was wondering if apps had access to local system storage or not. I’m planning to migrate a Truenas VM to bare metal, and move apps from another k3s cluster over to TrueNAS along the way, so knowing my storage options for apps is important. Otherwise I may end up redoing it later.
I followed the exact steps you have said butmy jellyfin server is not able to see any media present in truenas. I figured out its something related to acl but not sure what to modify
Bro thank you so much for this, great for beginners like myself cause you don't go into too much high end IT jargon without explaining it but still quick and concise and easy to follow
I never understand why people want to run virtual machines on a NAS. Just run a Proxmox/Hyper-V/VMWare/whatever hypervisor and run TrueNas as a VM. The create other Virtual machines that run next to the NAS instead of ON the NAS. If you're a noob, Proxmox has probably an even better and more intuitive user interface than TrueNas. Always use the right tools for the job.

Dude has no idea what he's talking about with nfs shares. Nfs has zero to do with name resolution.
Is this any surprise?
Setting VMs on TN Scale, would be more than welcome.
would be curious about maxing out the ram and the possibility of using nvme ssds as cache or even as drives with a general or basic benchmark comparison. and how the cluster configuration would compare to that.
@Novaspirit Tech, I followed this exactly (Except for NFS Share, does not appear) by JellyFin does not show movies no matter what I put into the folder. Thanks
Same here. No movies or shows appear. My share folder shows up but no media appears in JellyFin
I did the same and got the same result. I resolved it by Adding apps and group@apps in the acl recursively and now it works for me

I am waiting for his two server install with TrueNAS and CasaOS running on it.
love your videos, but you might want to redo it, since truecharts is gone now
Hello, great video !
Everything is accessible! Thx
hello how to access shared files outside your network local network?
how is it possible that you have about 60apps and I have 15?
NAS not NAZ. its not network attached Zoridge is it.
Managed to get it to work.. yay!
Also 8:27 "You can use Virtualization if you have more ram" or, a CPU that supports KVM extensions. Which mine, apparently does not. Soo.. guess i cant do it.
when I create pool shows "Create Pool
Error: [EFAULT] Failed to wipe disk sde: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy: '/dev/sde' " what is that mean?
Have you tried easynas or Rockstor nas software?
That's on my list
what about apps like gdrive alternative of tru nas??? so i can upload something from phone to nas directly,,,, where is file apps?
@ 4:40 you didn't select any drives before you made the pool. If you didn't select any drives, how did you make a pool?
Great video Don...thanks. Just used this to setup my new server.

You can very easily setup jellyfin on a windows OS, without all this added effort

Why are you in such hurry speeds.. Remember you are trying to learn out knowledge..
can you make a tutorial on BTRFS + nvme cache to speed things up ( read write or only read cache for 100+ clients who is streaming movies) ?
I can't select my hard drives because they don't show up, but when i go to storage i see them there
Is truenas free to use? I want to make homemade server and im not sure what should i use for OS. I was thinking about trueNAS but im not sure if it is free?
I guess scale is NOT the same as core because i do NOT see dataset on my left hand screen
truecharts no longer exists, any alternatives?
I am borderline illiterate when it comes to Gethub, so I just went with the default version for TrueNas
Uhhhh, True NAS Core has VM support too, not just Scale.
This was super useful! Thanks for putting together this tutorial.
Well well at the beginning it looks easy, don't dig deeper!
how do i fix this Error: [ENOSPC] Insufficient disk space available on boot-pool (624.73 MiB). Need 5.19 GiB. i did a default installation to an SSD. i should have the space
How big is the ssd?
Just geetting started and this is exactly what I needed. Thanks.
too bad the proces looks different now
leaving as defeault doesn't let me write to the drive...
Video idea - Convert TrueNAS VM to bare metal server!
Thanks for the video. Diving into this in the coming days. Also, would like to setup a PFSense router within TrueNAS. Any chance you could do a video on that?
