I would like to see a video comparison between Proxmox and TrueNAS Scale? In which scenarios which OS to install as bare-metal?

[TrueNAS]

Fanatastic work, Christian.

Already close to 60K subs! Keep on making great content!

[hendogg]

Please make more videos on TrueNAS Scale. Deep dive into setting up shares from scratch. I know everyone claims it is like Core but there are many details that are very different. Please keep with content on TrueNAS SCALE!!

The Vm feature is surprisingly good. I think it would be worth a video on GPU passthrough. Because TNS has the ability to do this without digging the command line. But! when it recognizes Gpu's it's not a clear cut as needed really. I think for people getting into HomeLab's It would be well worth a watch. The channel is great Christian aways very informative

One huge difference between Official and TrueCharts is the ability to add certificates. On official it is point and click, the TrueCharts is a different matter.
If you have an SSD drive you can add it as cache drive to help speed things up.

Fun fact, Linux and in some Unix systems, you have to be root to be able to use ports below 1024, anything above can be used without being an admin.
>9000 is still a bit weird but its a cool fact i guess.

Finished building my new Mini ITX Server yesterday and installed TrueNAS Scale today on it. Thanks for the great video and good show host. Subscribed.

Brilliant Christian! I'm excited that you've choosen TrueNAS Scale for your server.

I also think that there's so much potential with Scale, it is still early day's yet! Looking forward to many more cool videos on this subject from you.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm new to truenas world, but been working with kubernetes for a while. I'm excited to be joining truenas world!

About to migrate to TrueNAS from OMV, thanks for the tips!

[chadmwest]

The good thing about being able to run VMs is that you can spin up your own k8s/k3s cluster. That's what I'd do, and what I might end up doing, but for now I'm actually okay with the built-in k3s manager GUI thing.

Excellent video as usual!

It is not required to define exposed ports when using custom docker apps with static addresses. This means all ports are an option (not just 9000+). I just happened to stumble into this in my own use case.

[jaffo]

I've just installed TrueNAS Scale latest nightly build. I came across this video and would like to know if its possible and how to install Rancher on this TrueNAS Host or in a VM on this Host. Thank you for all the work you do on these videos. Very Helpful !

[SilentMajority]

Absolutely essential video! Bravo!!! All I ask, as a result of this overview, is for a more in depth coverage of a Truenas Scale Kubernetes setup.

[philgoshen]

amazing info and introduciton to some of what scale offers. Thanks!

[DavidAlsh]

Pretty cool. I wonder if there is support for LXC containers

[kfbzt]

Thanks Christian for the video. I really enjoy all your videos. You have helped me with many parts of my lab. Now I need more hardware..LOL

[tba]

Great video as always, we lot a lot with you and it's really interesting, great work love it

[Elrevisork]

how resources are managed ? memory and. that to VM and containers? or is better for that use Proxmox ? since. I will be focus on containers and VM and most use as NAS for my workflow this looks like a good option but for instance GPU passthrough is possible? thanks great video

My biggest reason I’m still with unpaid is the fact I can chuck any hard drive in and not worry about matching sizes or buying 2 hard drives
