Anytype on Truenas

Is there anybody who tried to get anytype (https://anytype.io) running self hosted on an Truenas?
Guess ist only possible in a VM?

From what I see on their site, there isn’t any kind of “hosting” involved in this software–it’s an app that runs on your computer and/or mobile devices and syncs data among them, apparently somewhat like Syncthing. So what would you run on your NAS?

You can run it selfhosted under docker:

Then you can run it under TrueNAS.

1 to 4 worked fine but number 5

make start

gives the following message:

zsh: command not found: make

You can use the compose file there to install a custom app via YAML in the TrueNAS UI.

Via YAML is not working, because a .env.override file is created during configuration.

Unless I’m missing something, that looks doable using a dockerfile: https://www.truenas.com/docs/truenasapps/usingcustomapp/#installing-a-multi-container-app-with-a-dockerfile.

Is it no problem to get the make package via apt-get?

I haven’t tested that directly. The example compose files using dockerfile_inline in that article do use apt upgrade and apt install and I know I was able to deploy those without issue 6 months or so ago.

No, apt -get is not working:

Package management tools are disabled on TrueNAS appliances.

Guess I will try it in a VM.

Set up a VM with debian and installed anytype using the following installation-guide:

It’s working now on my Truenas selfhosted.
