I really don't know why I watch anyone else before you- I wasted about an hour going through other peoples turt and stuck in the same place. 10 min into your video and my issue is gone! Thank you for all your hard work putting these together!!!

Great work like always!

We're looking forward to seeing what you create this year!

Cheers!

More truenas videos please. Your guides are very good.

Absolutely fantastic, it's so great when you follow along step by step with a tutorial and everything goes right, and it actually makes sense.
Looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials, thank you.

GOD BLESS THE REX. I just (2/2023) decided to pull my system forward from Core to Scale...and SMB was driving me NUTS trying to figure out the entire ACL deal with SMB shares. Once you explained the groups thing..I found the issue and I was able to mount SMB shares on OSX. THANK YOU

My boot drive failed and I had to start from scratch. Your video saved me hours of work! Please keep making them. Thank you!

These 3 TrueNAS Scale tutorials have been a wonderful way to get started with the OS. I'm a little sad to see that this is the end of the playlist though. You're really good at explaining the different options in an understandable way!

Thanks. Excellent help. I am a noob and was really struggling. The TrueNas documentation is excelent, but for a complete novice it can be daunting. I was able to review your video multiple times, then go step by step with your video running and pausing and got my NAS up and running. It helps that your videos are well done, organized, and give pragmatic "defaults". This is exactly the help I needed. It doesn't hurt that you are easy on the eyes as well.

Thank you so much for this, been searching through all of the TrueNAS forums and following other channel tutorials and so far this is the only one that's worked. Two whole days wasted (and just a little bit of hair, not that I have a great deal left), time for a beer!

Thanks so much! These are hugely helpful. I'm waiting for the last couple parts to come in to finish my first TrueNAS build. These configuration videos are a tremendous help. Much appreciated!

Dude thank you, I just followed you step by step and finally got my SMB to work after trying for the last 5 hours!

I love how you are explaining every step and what it does. I'm new to building nas servers especially on TrueNas Scale system and I would love to see more of this type videos, how to create groups, pools, how to create shared files/folders and how to create private, since truenas scale interface has changed recently. Thank you for all your effort making these videos for us.

I'm new to trueNAS and your videos have been very helpful! I'm looking forward to more in this series. Thanks

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It was a little hard because my version looks different, but after one fail it actually worked.
In the video I watched before I found yours was a guy telling me it´s a great idea to not create users or groups and just publishing my data to anyone in my network, I´m glad that your version is more secure and still easy to set up as beginner :D

[siliconsoundz]

This tutorial really helped me and was done in an easy to understand manor. Bravo!

[ZaPirate]

thank you and great work. Created a new truenas box and forgot how to set smb shares. Your video was the first who popped up.

[Eysenbeiss]

Thank you, even one year later and that the new version differs, I was able to locate my fault and set-up everything the right way.

[VictorTech-yfhg]

Thanks for the tutorial! help me a lot! Greetings from Brazil!

[michaelkane]

Thank you for the walk through. Somehow I mangled my second TrueNAS scale installation, and you covered the missing piece in this video. I also learned that certain configuration problems you can't simply fix, you have to create a new share and delete the old one!

[qualle]

The first tutorial that really helped me thanks👍
