Anyone got a standard layout for datasets and folders

I won’t answer any of your questions, because naming is one of the hardest problems in CS, and regarding the apps – I don’t run those on truenas. Well, I run only PBS via “custom apps”.

Not sure whether it’ll help you or not, but I personally segregate datasets by backup level. Something like:

(These are dataset descriptions, not names)

  • Pool
    • Encrypted pseudo root
      • Onsite 3-2-1
        • Personal media
        • Documents
      • Onsite 2-2-1
        • Docker configs
        • Backups
      • Onsite Slop
        • Installers
        • Torrents
        • Friends’ storage :smiling_face_with_horns:

Thus, I can have different tiered snapshots schedules and different replication strategies. Also, sometimes I have pseudo-roots with custom dataset params (e.g. recordsize).
