TrueNAS Tech Talk (T3)

Back after a long break, Kris and Chris return to deliver an update on TrueNAS 27 – and no, you didn’t miscount, it’s just been re-numbered! TrueNAS 26 is now TrueNAS 27, and the RC.1 is out with lots of exciting new features; including one that managed to stay under wraps until the launch date for once! Learn about WebShare, search indexing with TrueSearch, Fusion Pools 2.0 and Tiered Datasets, OpenZFS performance improvements, and that elusive “One More Thing.” Plus, there’s integrations galore – from Proxmox to Terraform, OpenStack to Veeam – find out what’s new and exciting for TrueNAS in the release candidate, downloadable now.

Today, Kris and Chris put a live walkthrough of installing TrueNAS using TrueNAS Connect WebInstall to the test – can they get a system running and ready in under ten minutes? While it’s installing, they’ll talk about the technology behind the new method – why “the cloud” isn’t in the data path, how secure WebSockets keep prying eyes out of the system even before the install, and confirm that no, the classic console-based setup isn’t going anywhere!

It’s a software release episode today! The latest beta of TrueNAS 26 is out – from improved virtualization to storage status, refined ACLs to smoother upgrades, find out what BETA.2 can do for you. There’s also important security fixes for TrueNAS 25.10 users with the new 25.10.4 release – make sure to stay protected against the new batch of CVEs. There’s also Kubernetes news – (it’s not coming back for Apps, don’t panic!) – we wrote a brand-new CSI driver for Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters to integrate with TrueNAS storage. And finally, Kris and Chris look into a rather odd Github commit. What’s got them so intrigued? Find out today.

Chris and Kris are back on TrueNAS Tech Talk to talk about backups – World Backup Day was March 31st, and it’s time to level up your data protection. They’ll go through the concept of air-gapped systems, how to implement a “virtual air-gap” with TrueNAS, and the components of a solid, resilient backup and replication architecture that you can build yourself. A couple viewer questions round out the mix; and will Chris have to DLSS 5 his life if he loses the bet with Kris? Find out today.

Chris and Kris take this episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk to respond and clear the air about recent changes made to the build scripts repository on GitHub, and this means for TrueNAS users. They’ll talk about the “Enterprise-First” focus, how feature requests are reviewed and sorted, and where Community Edition is headed.
