TrueNAS has been so annoying to use for me. I really wish I just used something else or raw Ubuntu server. The Time Machine backup feature corrupts itself. Y

  Well, there is TrueNAS Scale, which is Debian-based. Which one are you running Scale?

    I'm not convinced that TrueNAS Scale is an improvement. I won't make the case that stability and maturity hamper Scale as a whole, but there are definitely discrepancies for SMB performance and limitations in and the use of Kubernetes really overcomplicates things for home users (not saying that TrueNAS Scale Apps were great). I had a version upgrade of Scale catastrophically fail on one system because the Kubernetes implementation couldn't be reconciled during the upgrade (I had no enterprise support, community support had no input, so I was forced to restart from scratch). You also need a dedicated OS Drive for TrueNAS, which is reasonable in principle for critical systems, but doesn't always really meet the needs of home users with limited drive bays.

      Interesting. I've only run Core for that reason. I wanted something rock solid. I've never tried Scale but was thinking of switching.

      > the use of Kubernetes really overcomplicates things for home users They moved away from Kubernetes in favor of Docker Compose. You can add your own custom compose script, or use ones from the "app store". This is for the Scale variant of course, no Docker on Core.

  I've been thinking of setting up a TrueNAS system to do Time Machine and home assistant... Can you elaborate on these issues?
