TrueNAS build system going closed source (piefed.social)

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This repository is no longer actively maintained.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 Existing content is preserved here for historical reference only.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

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

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.

Looks like no zfs support?

[-] infeeeee@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 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.
