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This repository is no longer actively maintained.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 Existing content is preserved here for historical reference only.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.

Uggh, I just got to the point where I’m as familiar with TrueNAS as my old Synology, but I want to move towards more freedom. TrueNAS beats Synology, but where is this going?
Oh so they are going to use the Puppet excuse to move away from open source?
we must move to have our code internal only for now. Totally just for security reasons nothing to do with us also changing licensing to make it harder for those building things for us
no don’t bring up the security incident we’re referring to that shows us as the issue not having code visible! (ie they cheaped out on people/set up and vendor had keys visible)
Why are they always coming up with some kind of bullshit excuse? :D
Link to article?
There’s a link to the github page that has the depreciation notice right there…?
Always blaming security bullshit. I anxiously await a community fork.
Next step is requiring a subscription.
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?
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Odd choice of timing… I wonder if they are sitting on a cache of hard drives.
Are they lying about secure boot being a reason or can I go back to thinking SB is part of Microsoft’s EEE attack on software freedom?
It can be a bit of both.
I don’t think secureboot is an attack on freedom exactly (and it’s certainly not an instance of EEE), but I definitely think it shouldn’t be Microsoft holding the keys.
Literally today Chris Titus released a video where he emphasized that no one should be using secure boot because the default backend is Microsoft and no one changes their secure boot config.
If that’s true there’s an argument that the name “secure boot” is hardly detachable from the defaults and thus that name is kid of burnt and shouldn’t be recommended out of an abundance of caution for new users.
So… nobody changes the default settings, therefore everyone should change the default settings… to the wrong option?
edit: Why is it that homo sapiens is always willing to go an extra mile just to hurt itself?
