Finally someone who can teach. The problem with TRueNas is that if we turn it off, SMB gets disconnected and does not start automatically. REvised: With the new version, it starts automatically. Thank you UTH

Nice, concise video! Could you maybe make a part two for nextcloud on truenas and setup backups?

I was at BUCEES yesterday! Thanks for this video, this was just what I needed!

Just scored a less than two years old Dell desktop that I'm going to throw my three 1TB SATA SSDs into and use as a NAS that I can ultimately use as a PLEX server (and upgrade the storage hopefully soon down the road). Going into this knowing pretty much nothing at this point, this is a good start-off point for someone like me who's getting back into learning servers since I haven't worked IT since 1999.

Boy have I got a lot of new info to

QUESTION: If the two data storage drives brought into a mirrored array have data on them prior to the install will that data be lost?

[lassebrustad]

well, this video deserves a comment, as I was able to configure this on my first ever TrueNAS server. btw, setting up the Samba server is way easier on the latest version, so there's parts of this video I could simply skip

Your video helped where GPT just could not and GPT kept telling me incorrect information. So now you have a new sub and a very grateful viewer.

Please keep creating content.

On the console setup screen, what do I do to get into the program? Everything I've tried takes me right back to the console setup screen.

awesome, straight to the point and easy to follow, legend!

[BriCheng]

Super easy to understand tutorial - thank you so much

[rockylau]

thanks for the video, I finally set up TrueNAS!
It helps me a lot.

[alainrocheve]

Thanks for the video. I get it : U can use only one HDD for making the pool, but U have to have a second HDD (or SSD) to putt TrueNAS in, am I right ? Thanks for the future response.

[박성환-xy]

Thanks for your video. I could briefly understand its features :)

I have a question. Our team and I want to just test its usability and features of trueNAS Scale for future decisions of storage servers. Our problem is that we have only one disk for data. I've also checked official minimum hardware requirements of trueNAS and I wonder if I can install and test with only one data disk. We can start from scratch but I wonder if you have any ideas or knowledge before that. Thanks, man~

Do you need to do any settings changes on the modem/router to keep the same IP address or will it be the same if there is a power loss?

How can I install TrueNAS on an old seagate business 2 Bay?

[The_Weissman]

This got me off the ground, thanks! But at the "Console Menu" during TrueNAS installation, which of the 9 selections do I choose?
Edit: Never mind. I got it. You don't access the TrueNAS interface on the server machine itself, but using a browser from another computer.

[Barebones]

when i do the same steps and boot from bios (7yo PC) proceed with the steps and finish installation. i hit reboot system and it brings me back to the same screen as i started and i reinstall.

[arcidesoliva]

Thank you so much for the video, it help me out tons.

Weird. I don't see any Disk Size under Automated Disk Selection. Would I need a 2nd hard drive?

[PeterjonSmith]

do i really need 2 identical drives for install of truenas I'm just using it to store media I don't care about backup as of right now
