A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

TrueNAS build system going closed source (piefed.social)
submitted 1 day ago by Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Readme updated today:

This repository is no longer actively maintained.  

The TrueNAS build system previously hosted here has been moved to an internal infrastructure. This transition was necessary to meet new security requirements, including support for Secure Boot and related platform integrity features that require tighter control over the build and signing pipeline.  

No further updates, pull requests, or issues will be accepted. Existing content is preserved here for historical reference only.

Wondering if this is just the first step towards doing a minio in the future.

Volker Theile (lead dev of FreeNAS 2006-2009) maintaines OpenMediaVault, based on debian, version 8 was released recently. Not a drop in replacement, and it has its own quirks, but no evil company in the background

Looks like no zfs support?

[–] infeeeee@lemmy.zip 10 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

It's not in there by default, you have to install the omv extras plugin, from there you can install zfs: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv8%3Aomv8_plugins%3Azfs

I have it on my installation, you've got to replace the kernel with the proxmox one, it's fairly easily done by installing a plugin

[–] infeeeee@lemmy.zip 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Since omv 7 it works with the default kernel, you can install the proxmox one though if you want that.

Weird, some time ago it booted with the default kernel by mistake and it couldn't see my zfs pool

[–] infeeeee@lemmy.zip 3 points 13 hours ago

From the docs:

The Standard Debian Kernel (selectable) can be used for ZFS. However, since ZFS kernel modules are not installed in the Debian kernel by default, they must be built by the ZFS plugin when it is installed. While this process works, building the modules is a long process that requires continuous access to online repos. Accordingly, the potential for a build error exists. For this reason, while the Standard Kernel is very usable for ZFS, it is not ideal.

I question why this gets recommended so much when we discuss truenas.

Without a doubt zfs is one of if not THE reason to go truenas. It does so much more for you than other filesystems.

I guess OMV at least has btrfs but not the same thing.

[–] infeeeee@lemmy.zip 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

ZFS is in the omv extras repo: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv8%3Aomv8_plugins%3Azfs

As it's just plain debian under the hood you can use any basic debian stuff, e.g. I use zfs-auto-snapshot from apt, and the zfs plugin can list and manage the snapshots perfectly.

Ahhh that is good to know. Thank you.

I'm running an early version of that on a 16 year old ARM board NAS, the NAS has 256MB of RAM and OpenMediaVault runs great on it.

I love it so much that I donaged twice to the project. There are also some easter-eggs hidden in the software, like quotes from Dune.
