TrueNAS build system going closed source (piefed.social)

submitted 3 months ago by Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

57 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Readme updated today:

This repository is no longer actively maintained.  

The TrueNAS build system previously hosted here has been moved to an internal infrastructure. This transition was necessary to meet new security requirements, including support for Secure Boot and related platform integrity features that require tighter control over the build and signing pipeline.  

No further updates, pull requests, or issues will be accepted. Existing content is preserved here for historical reference only.

Wondering if this is just the first step towards doing a minio in the future.

Volker Theile (lead dev of FreeNAS 2006-2009) maintaines OpenMediaVault, based on debian, version 8 was released recently. Not a drop in replacement, and it has its own quirks, but no evil company in the background

I'm running an early version of that on a 16 year old ARM board NAS, the NAS has 256MB of RAM and OpenMediaVault runs great on it.

I love it so much that I donaged twice to the project. There are also some easter-eggs hidden in the software, like quotes from Dune.

Looks like no zfs support?

[–] infeeeee@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's not in there by default, you have to install the omv extras plugin, from there you can install zfs: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv8%3Aomv8_plugins%3Azfs

I have it on my installation, you've got to replace the kernel with the proxmox one, it's fairly easily done by installing a plugin

[–] infeeeee@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Since omv 7 it works with the default kernel, you can install the proxmox one though if you want that.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Weird, some time ago it booted with the default kernel by mistake and it couldn't see my zfs pool

[–] infeeeee@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

From the docs:

The Standard Debian Kernel (selectable) can be used for ZFS. However, since ZFS kernel modules are not installed in the Debian kernel by default, they must be built by the ZFS plugin when it is installed. While this process works, building the modules is a long process that requires continuous access to online repos. Accordingly, the potential for a build error exists. For this reason, while the Standard Kernel is very usable for ZFS, it is not ideal.

I question why this gets recommended so much when we discuss truenas.

Without a doubt zfs is one of if not THE reason to go truenas. It does so much more for you than other filesystems.

I guess OMV at least has btrfs but not the same thing.

[–] infeeeee@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

ZFS is in the omv extras repo: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv8%3Aomv8_plugins%3Azfs

As it's just plain debian under the hood you can use any basic debian stuff, e.g. I use zfs-auto-snapshot from apt, and the zfs plugin can list and manage the snapshots perfectly.

Ahhh that is good to know. Thank you.
