This sounded as if it had the potential to resolve the inability to install the Nextcloud plugin.
It did allow installation to start, but installation eventually failed with a different error.
This is not surprising. Plugins in general, as has been repeatedly mentioned here, are deprecated/unsupported/whatever.
Having pulled 13.2 down onto my server and realizing it will do me no good, I would like to remove 13.2 to reclaim the disk space.
Yes, I should have been smart enough to make a snapshot beforehand.
Any other ideas?
Well, yes. That’s already in progress. Wasn’t the question. 
The problem at hand was that an installation of FreeBSD I wasn’t using and didn’t intend to use was eating some disk space.
I ended up finding a couple of relevant entries in my iocage and manually deleting them.
I’m sure the world will come crashing down on my head at any moment.
i have an old nas with 2GB ram. 1 ddr2 ram slot
Truenas Core works.
from what i read, scale needs 8GB minimum. when i was initially setting up my NAS a couple years ago, i recall i tried scale and i dont believe the NAS booted up or maybe it took a long time to boot
i ended up installing core.
do you have experience upgrading core to scale on a NAS with 2GB ram?
Unfortunately, even Core had the 8Gb listed as min. I don’t think TrueNAS is a good choice for that hardware.
I just checked the Doc archive and for FreeNAS 8, the min was listed as 6Gb. Current Core should be listing 8Gb min.
from the earlier docs
1.1.2 RAM
The best way to get the most out of your FreeNAS™ system is to install as much RAM as possible. If
your RAM is limited, consider using UFS until you can afford better hardware. ZFS typically requires a
minimum of 6 GB of RAM in order to provide good performance; in practical terms (what you can
actually install), this means that the minimum is really 8 GB. The more RAM, the better the
performance, and the Forums provide anecdotal evidence from users on how much performance is
gained by adding more RAM. For systems with large disk capacity (greater than 6 TB), a general rule
of thumb is 1GB of RAM for every 1TB of storage.
NOTE: by default, ZFS disables pre-fetching (caching) for systems containing less than 4 GB of
FreeNAS™ 8.0.3 Guide Page 9 of 164
usable RAM. Not using pre-fetching can really slow down performance. 4 GB of usable RAM is not
the same thing as 4 GB of installed RAM as the operating system resides in RAM. This means that the
practical pre-fetching threshold is 6 GB, or 8 GB of installed RAM. You can still use ZFS with less
RAM, but performance will be effected.
If you are installing FreeNAS™ on a headless system, disable the shared memory settings for the video
card in the BIOS.

Lol does that Nas use regular, unleaded, or diesel fuel?
