trueNAS

Now on Linux as trueNAS Scale

Use inbuilt certificate CSR and ACME to get certs from Let's Encrypt so webUI works from reverse proxy with hostname

Recently changed from TrueNAS Core (BSD) to TrueNAS Scale (linux)

Hardware

Two racks from back to front:

Snapshots

When you replicate a snapshot to another pool (whether on the same machine, on a different local machine, or on a machine on the other side of the world), you end up with all the data that existed in that source dataset at the time the snapshot was taken (including all its child datasets, if you set the snapshot to be recursive). So, the snapshot itself may not be a backup, but the replicated copy of the snapshot certainly is.

I am replicating the snapshots of my VM's to the spare pool tank.

Apps

Really just docker/kubernetes stuff in a GUI

Network

Needed to make a bridge br01 that took the IP address via DHCP from pfsense router and add the actual network interface enp2s0 to the br01 - this way my VM's could access the actual truenas SCALE IP address (their host).

SSL

Used the following guide to issue a certificate for local.rgbrouwer.com using Cloudflare to authenticate - I was then able to securely access the webUI using a hostname rather than IP address.
