What do you all use TrueNAS for? I’d love to hear how it’s being used in other peoples systems!
Personally, I’ve got these apps installed and I love them all:
- cert-manager
- home assistant
- radarr
- 2x uptime kumas
- flame
- tailscale
- qbittorrent
- ombi
- jellyfin
- prowlarr
- sonarr
- traefik
- libreddit
- invidous
- static
- gitea
I’m going to be setting up Proxmox for the first time soon, and I’m looking for a solution for managing my storage (nothing fancy for now, aiming for about 50TB across 5 disks, with off-site backup). I’m considering my options for whether I should use Proxmox to manage the storage or if it would be better to use TrueNAS for that. I’m curious if you’d have any opinions on the choice.
I like having storage on a dedicated box. I’ve been using TrueNAS/FreeNAS for about ten years and I’m happy with it. In my case, when I was first building the storage box, I wasn’t really looking for a hypervisor like PVE for running other services so FreeNAS made sense. I used jails for a while before acquiring the NUC I have PVE running on now and migrated everything from jails to containers, and I’m now deliberate about not running anything on the TrueNAS box that isn’t directly related to storage.
