That was a fun walkthrough of your setup. I really appreciate seeing such a thrown together setup and making old hardware work for you. Nice to see in the world of everyone with 42U racks. nothing wrong with using consumer grade gear for homelab things, things are more than stable nowawdays.
Great video! I've enjoyed watching your videos and seeing the different open source options there are out there. When I first set up my NAS, I screwed up and created my apps with ix systems creating the app paths. I also (at the time) had the apps created on my HDD's. I now have two 1 TB NVME SSD's (mirrored) that I would like to house my app configurations. TrueNAS has this option at one time to migrate all apps to another drive pool but seems to have pulled that option away for the time being. What would be the best way to move certain datasets to another pool? I've also thought about just redoing my apps (and arr's into an arr stack in dockge) so would that be the easiest way? I just have all of the apps downloaded and set up and would be kind of a pain to redo so if I could get it to just migrate over smoothly, that would be ideal! Thanks!
@@tannermorris8956 so since you dont have hostpath, i would recommend recreating things with hostpath for data integrity. keeping all of the data on an ix dataset is going to spell disaster down the road. better to cut it off now and do it right so there won't be problems like this in the future.
@ I hate that you’re right….😂 whenever I get the time to do so, I’ll get it done. As far as moving host path files, moving them would be taking snapshots and redeploying them? If not, I’ll figure it out either way lol.
Hey, just a quick question would you be interested in helping me set my server up basically the way that you have yours would be fine. It would definitely help me jumpstart my set up. I’m struggling in some areas. I’m basically running TruNAS and proxmox on different servers. But would like to tie it together the way that you did. We would have to correlate over the phone first then I can do some pre-configurations to make it easier and faster for you to configure and then I would allow you to have access either via Remote Desktop or SSH whatever would work the best. Let me know what you think. I’m in Ohio. Thanks.
@@ServersatHome OK, yes this is definitely something I want to do soon. Give me a couple days to get a couple of servers ready. I kind of want to start at a blank slate at this point. Too many issues with my current system. So I’ll be building up a Proxmox and Truenas servers and will be using a Synology for back up. Where I work is decommissioning some equipment. Any suggestions on the build components process? Suggestions components let me know. Now is the time. Thanks and look forward to working with you.
@@markstanchin1692 i would probably start here: blog.serversatho.me/general-parts-advice/. but many times you take what you can get so we'll work with whatever you have.
WHen I was poking around with TrueNAS before setting it up "for real", it wouldn't let me do anything on just one drive. How did you get your apps pool on just one SSD? My board has two SSD slots, I'd love for one to be the boot and the other to be for apps.
Install Truenas on a usb drive, the way it is intended to be. It's a read-only appliance, so by default all the settings and logs are stored on the first dataset you create (but you can change that). The usb will only be written during updates so you don't have to worry about endurance, worst come to worst, you just recreate a usb drive and import the settings from your mirrored SSDs.
Or you can go crazy and mirror the USB drives. That's what I had for the longest time, two mirrored USBs. Had some issues early on getting it to play nice but that was quite a few releases ago.

Great....a few seconds in and I have case envy.
Amazing and inspirational video! You definitely got my gears turning.
Hey your audio is on par !

@@tannermorris8956 are your apps set up with host path config? If so, just moving those datasets would work for new apps
@@ServersatHome I have set up immich and adguard with host past, the rest with whatever config that ix applications creates.

@@tannermorris8956 best way to move existing files is with a replication task, which is just a GUI front end for rsync.

why dont you have your arrs as a stack?
@@bradhazeldine3240 I like being able to control them individually
Yeah having to restart everything at once is shit lol
