2024 - COMPLETE Truenas Scale App Install / Home Lab Walkthrough (radarr sonarr lidarr homearr)

As of July 2024 Truecharts has pulled their plug (a bit premature, but that’s their decision). All of the meat of this video remains valid, but you’ll have to use the ixsystems apps until a clear docker path becomes known.

Setting up all of your TrueNAS Scale apps for the first time doesn't have to be hard! I recently setup my new server...and TrueNAS has come a lonnnnng way since the FreeNAS days. Setup was simple, but I did need some help along the way. Follow this video to help save time and get all of your services up and running in under 2 hours.

I wish I could upvote you 10 times. This has been one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen. Thank you thank you!

Very nice! Everything someone needs to setup a useful and functioning home server!
Shoutout from Central PA (Lancaster) as well!

I started building a trueNAS server a few days ago. This video explained everything to me perfectly. Thank you so much!

You mention that Plex needs Auth when there is no internet. Under Settings>Network, there is a setting to add IP Addresses of trusted clients without auth. Just make sure to reserve the IP's of those devices so they dont change. Hope that helps. Pretty good video, thanks

I will probably save this to my watch later playlist because I spent 12 hours banging my head against a wall trying to get plex and other apps to work but nothing had the right permissions, every video was using an outdated UI, nothing looked the same and so i just yolo'd it to windows. Even just the 1st 8 minutes has been more helpful than any other Truenas tutorial I have seen. 10/10

This is the most useful video I've watched on truenas so far. You share everything I need and more. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your setup with us, greatly appreciated!

[roblewis]

so did I... Got burnt by Storaxa aswell. Built my own server now. Absoultley brilliant video. The time it must have taken to make it. It is really appreciated. In 2 hours went from blank TrueNAs to a system that supasses my old system

I am a newbie to trueNAS-scale and I've been struggling for 5 days now trying to make jellyfin install and set the directories to work properly. I finally succeeded to do so after watching your video sir. This is the most comprehensive tutorial for me, everyone else is : click here, type this, click that, done! before you can even blink. People making these kind of videos have to understand that we are here to learn and not evaluate their skills, I find your explanatory way of showing things way more educational. And yes, I did my research, but it seems in the open source/linux/NAS community things change from version to version so the info we reach on forums etc. are not always (or are they ever?) applicable. I had to search with very specific terms to find my way to your video and a couple of others to finally solve my issue.
Thank you so much for the effort and your way of sharing information.

[isidromar]

The videos were very helpful to me, I like how it is illustrated and although I am not good at English, I understand half of it, I have replicated everything you have shown in the video and everything worked for me the first time. Thank you very much for sharing your experience and time, starting today you have a new subscriber. P.S. I'm new to the truenas world, I come from the synology world, sorry for my

[GurupreetSingh]

This video was so helpful in setting up an immich server, I just used the default stuff for the path and it's working really well especially with tailscale I can access my photos from anywhere, thank you so much❤

[chrisumali]

Thanks for the demo and info. I am in the same boat, I have a HP-DL360-G8, and I am starting to move and migrate my apps, to a slower and less power consuming device. Have a great day

[dragoninfire]

Hi, I followed your walkthrough and was able to setup TrueNAS Scale, thank you so much!
I would love to see an updated video for the new TrueNAS Electric Eel :)

[rholzel]

I rarely comment, but just wanted to say thank you for such a great walkthrough! I have the *arr stack + jellyfin running off a rpi4 and recently got the itch to upgrade. Ordering my parts and feel more confident after watching your video, thank you!

[jgcolema]

Good video. Your the first person I've watched that explained the NewsReaders, Radarr, Sonarr & Prowlarr connections so I could understand them. Still somewhat confusing, but doable!

[gfrosty]

I had to redo all my aplications again on my Truenas Scale 23.10.s VM for a clean start with all apps, and this video was fantastic aid to help complete that so thank you for this video.
Now to tweak the ARR apps further, if only I could find that video or my notes....

[boeingceo]

Man, you are doing god's work here. Did you know your video is the only in-depth trunas video? Thank you!

[OnLyStrahl]

mate, thats the best video i saw about truenas homeserver setup.
it has almost everything i want to do with my truenas.
now i just need someone to explain me all the homeassistant stuff :D

[eyesleo]

7:21 - setting apps as owner and group, 8:06 setting ACL and making root the dataset owner... ;) Jokes aside, very good work, thanks!

[notsrynot]

Dude this is great all in one video, I've been sitting on my server up untill today out of date for about 2 years so this was amazing jumping back in to refreash my knowlege and apply the new methods based on changes to the newest version of everything
