Well Mr. Lo-Res DIY.... I gotta thank you for this easy to follow video; I've tried several others which skips some steps in their video as they assumed the viewers understood what to do next. You took the time to literally go through step-by-step and I finally have a working share.... Thank you and you now have a new subscriber!

Hey man, thanks for all your work here. This video is the reason I now have a 40TB raidz2 NAS as someone who has never built a NAS, used Linux, done any kind of programming and has no idea how to use a terminal.

Visual step by step was invaluable, cheers.

This video was excellent to watch for a first time TrueNAS user. I was able to get my server up and running, and had no issues. My version was a little bit newer than this video, but I was able to find everything I needed. Thanks for putting this together.

Thank you so much for your videos on Truenas Scale. Your videos have finally given me the confidence to migrate my Truenas Core server to Scale and it was great. For what I use, the scale apps are much easier than maintaining the core jails. Thank you.

Scale was a bit different in the UI when I was following this, but I was able to figure out enough to get my first server going. Thanks a bunch for the video, it really helped me get it running the way I needed it to.

This was a super-helpful video for getting my first TrueNAS install set up and sharing out to the network. Thanks!

As others have said, this is the perfect, exemplary quick-start guide for first-timers like myself. Cheers LoRes!

Thanks man, this helps a lot! I was stucked for a moment until I realised after installation I could just ignore it (I'm installing using rufus and installed it on my C: drive on a desktop, I don't know that after that at the configuration page, we could just ignore and use it right away on google to ip address), that's why now it quite make sense that we don't need a screen after the setup. But all an all, hope we can get an upcoming content on how to set it up with phone usable. Thank you again my man!👍👍

Awesome video, I don't leave too many comments but your style was very easy to follow. I got up and running with one playthrough of your video. Thank you!

I set up trunas scale over a month ago and I could not map a network drive accessible through windows 10 to save my life. Every time I got "network folder not accessible". I deleted all the datasets and users and storage and started again. Watched 6+ hours of tutorials on youtube and still nothing. I want to thank you SO MUCH, after watching your video, I realized that my permissions for owner were not correct and I changed them and now I have a mapped network drive and access on my local network. I am currently working on getting my emby server up and running, and I cannot figure out how to access media/storage from the nas mapped drive through the app media share. I've tried \\192...\storage... and mnt\storage... but I will keep looking. I appreciate you making this video and clearly stating each step so that people like me can understand.

A tip I just came across... If you're getting the "Bad shim signature" error, turn off Secure Boot. In older BIOS' like mine, this was achieved by switching Secure Boot from "windows" to "other OS". Hope this helps someone else!

I'm stuck in the POSIX permissions menu so like the ACL editor but I want to see the Unix permissions window again?

When you “hopped over to Chrome” after installing TrueNas, was this on a separate computer or on the one you have the flash drive in?

Can't find microsoft account tick box in add user page, please help

Hey Man, great video, definitely answered some questions I had with permissions. I am having an issue with mounting a networked smb drive TO my truenas scale system so that I could use it within plex (hosted on the truenas docker). Would love to see a video about that, as there doesn't seem to be many out there.

Good video I think you are the only one that's ever used the quick boot menu, others lead people into the bios just to boot the install stick. Only thing I think could have been changed is wiping the test disk to eliminate the optional install choices, but still a good video. Was wondering if you have ever tried Ventoy for USB install stick, it's the only boot stick you'll ever need, as it allows for the drop and drag of images.

[kavyajohnson]

Thank you for the great explanation. I have a question regarding the truenas. Do we have a safe mode in truenas

12:25 if I understand correctly, the Microsoft Account option is only needed if you're logging into a client PC using an online account. If you're using a local login, this option doesn't need to be checked?
