Setting Up a NEW (old) NAS - TrueNAS Scale Setup/Testing

A friend of mine had an old computer collecting dust (literally) so I took it and turned it into a little NAS using TrueNAS Scale.

Holy hell, I spent hours looking for how to do this. Thank you for walking through this so thoroughly.

Thanks for keeping us updated with the direction of TrueNAS. I haven't done this yet, but I sure want to do things like this in the future. Wonderful video. Enjoyed all that you did. Thanks.

I watched this video once, and I have been looking for it for months 😅. You did an awesome job with the partition creation. I wanna re-set up my TrueNas server after crashing it.

Absolutely awesome video!! Managed to set a 32gb partition out of a 500gb HDD for a TrueNas Scale install without a hitch and use the remaining space for a zfs pool following your instructions. Thank you for the video and keep up doing these useful videos!

You had me at 10 machines laying around!! Nice job!

thanks for this i'm running TrueNAS-SCALE-22.02-RC.1-2 and this helped me out

[MotownBatman]

Found It!
I went diggin thru my Playlists!
This Video is a Lifesaver!

[jamztiberius]

Awesome video. I loved the walkthrough for getting our boot SSD to still be able to be used as some storage as my boot SSD is a 256GB SSD. I gave it a 32GB boot pool and a 16GB swap leaving me ~200 GB of SSD storage space to house my apps, while all of my metadata and other files can go on my data pool HDD's.

Hey could you make a truenas scale tutorial like how to setup apps I'm a complete noob in truenas and I don't understand what the storage pools are and idk how to make jellyfin see my movies and photos

[godelrt]

Hahaha I caught myself holding my breath when u started cleaning that thing!

[techiteasyaus]

Thanks so much! Now I can play and test TrueNAS on my small single disk test PC and it's already awesome.

The best cable management ever brought me here ...

Raid owl : "hmmm bla bla come hack me!!"
Nice video

[sheldonkupa]

Good video! Thx. Just to mention, truenas doesnt generally allow a 1-disk setup. Not core not scale. By design and philosophy. So i dont expect them to change that one. Openmediavault does.

[bgbl]

do you think a 4 cores 4 threads cpu its enough for a truenas with plex and a pfsense vm on it ?

[MotownBatman]

My Man! This is Awesome! I watched the New video than this one, I created the install and the Pool WITH Swap on a 240gig SSD!
Now to add a 8TB 3.5" for BATOCERA & a 4TB 3.5" for File Server!
Maybe a Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.x
AMD A8 20 gig of Ram

[dimitarbatchvarov]

How can you add a second M2 SSD disk during the install? I want to create a mirror of the smaller M2 NvME ssd ? You have edited the install script but what about if I have two disks in mirror for the TrueNAS Scale OS

I'm late to the party but this a very well done video
