On today’s episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, drama is circulating in the open source and self-hosted over some changes, but Kris and Chris are happy that the latest TrueNAS 25.04.1 release isn’t among it. They’ll dig into what happened with the changes on the object storage software MinIO removing a huge chunk of functionality, Plex and user privacy, and share some thoughts on right-to-repair and right-to-own.

On today’s episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Kris and Chris ask “Have you updated your system yet?” The Apps IP Addressing update is going live in a little over a week on June 2nd, so make sure you’re ready with TrueNAS 24.10.2.2 “Electric Eel” or 25.04 “Fangtooth” - if you’re still on 24.04 “Dragonfish” it’s time to make the jump to Docker before the automatic Apps migration window closes. They’ll also discuss some of the major enhancements coming to the Instances page in the fall release “Goldeye”, show off the new Apps and API microsites, tease an upcoming TrueNAS native Incus storage driver, and handle a quartet of questions from boot devices to file browsers.

On today’s episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Kris and Chris dig through some of the major updates coming to the first point release of TrueNAS Fangtooth, 25.04.1, answer viewer questions about the feature request process, and detail the one thing they’d really you rather not do when naming your pool or datasets in TrueNAS!

On today’s TrueNAS Tech Talk, Kris and Chris go over the latest TrueNAS update adoption, and talk about the final update for CORE 13.3 - which begs the question, can SCALE and Community Edition be a “NAS Only” solution just as well as CORE? The new Apps Marketplace launches at apps.truenas.com, and a new feature in development sprouts up in time for spring - learn more about what the ‘zfs rewrite’ command will do for the future of ZFS!

On this week’s TrueNAS Tech Talk, Kris and Chris give you an update on a change to the update methodology for TrueNAS systems (which is coming in our next update) - respond to the spirited feedback about the pending Apps IP Address changes in June, with some good news for those wanting to stay on 24.10 “Electric Eel” and talk about how to safely and securely access your TrueNAS system remotely.

On today’s episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Chris and Kris talk about the first few days of the Fangtooth 25.04 update and the exciting new functionality coming to TrueNAS in this version, provide some clarification about the upcoming Apps change to allow individual IP addresses, and provide the inside scoop on some major features in development for the 25.10 release of Goldeye. Plus, the added benefits of listening to T3 include new career opportunities? Tune in to find out more!

On today’s episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Kris and Chris are joined by Stéphane Graber, project leader of the Incus container project, coming to the latest release of TrueNAS 25.04 this Tuesday! Join us as we dig deep into the history of the Incus container project, from its unlikely inception and first use case, the story of the LXD fork and license shift, future plans for Incus and TrueNAS, and get yourself ready for your upgrade to 25.04 starting next week!

With the Fangtooth launch less than two weeks away, Kris and Chris bring news of a pair of hotfixes for Electric Eel and CORE 13.3. Chris shares a bit of bad news on the new Intel Battlemage discrete GPUs, Kris gives a history lesson on the move from UFS to ZFS. There’s a great technical question from a viewer on recordsize and its interaction with ZFS’s copy-on-write nature, and both Kris and Chris look at a Reddit users’ “burning” question - is his system cooked?

Kris and Chris return after their week off to bring you some updates on new SMART Smarts coming to TrueNAS in this fall’s 25.10 build, a new way to monitor your drive health with the Scrutiny App, and answer some viewer questions - from encryption performance, to SAS multipath, to the challenges of dual-actuator drives working with TrueNAS.

On today’s Pi Day episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Kris and Chris check in on the freshly-released Fangtooth RC1, dig into some very fresh commit for upcoming Incus features in 25.04 Release. Kris opines on the future of cryptocurrency and encryption as they relate to quantum computing, and both Chris and Kris pick off another pair of viewer questions.

Note: There will be no T3 episode on March 21st - we’ll be back on March 28th!

Kris and Chris are back from some travel to bring you another episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk! On today's episode, RC1 will be launching next week, we’ll dig deeper into the containers vs VMs discussion from last week, and answer a couple of viewer questions we received this week on Incus data backup and how to change the compression algorithm on existing data.

Today's very special episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk brings the inimitable Stuart Espey, better known as ‪@CaptStux‬ of YouTube and TrueNAS Forum fame! Come find out what brought him and his company to TrueNAS back when it was still FreeNAS, his adventures with compute workloads on TrueNAS from jails to bhyve, all the way through to the latest Incus and LXC containerization, and hear about his most desired TrueNAS features from minor tweaks to massive overhauls.

On this Valentine's Day episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Kris and Chris discuss the recently-released TrueNAS 25.04 Fangtooth BETA (available now!), explain some of the differences between the various methods of backup in TrueNAS, from file to S3 to replication (RAID is not a backup!) and tackle a couple of viewer questions, from the base distro choice to a breakdown of Special VDEVs, from sizing to redundancy to small file allocations.
