Getting Started With TrueNAS: Background
19 Jan 2026
A few months ago I picked up a client looking for management of their TrueNAS servers. They had four, now five, servers spread across three physical locations. While I've had limited experience with FreeNAS and TrueNAS CORE (version based on FreeBSD), I really didn't have much experience with the newer TrueNAS SCALE, now called TrueNAS Community Edition. It's based on Debian, which I did have plenty of experience with. Additionally, I also have quite a bit of experience with Nextcloud, which they have three instances of.
