Hey everyone, I’ve seen the concerns in the Community about us moving the build scripts internal for TrueNAS 27, so I want to address this directly. Why we did it: We had a growing problem with bad actors forking TrueNAS, selling closed-source commercial derivatives under their own brands, and ign…

[image] jamesaepp: Can I name a single intelligent decision from the last six months from management? That’s probably too harsh to put it and it is their money and goodwill, after all, we are riding for free, but the fact is, as a newcomer, I was met with things usually not seen in a truly op…

Thanks for your write-up. I get what you are saying and am happy for you (and all of us) that your work is now properly paid and supported. This doesn’t change the feeling of many in the community who have been loyal since the FreeNAS days that the name change was more than cosmetic. Promising feat…

[image] ProfessionalAmateur: Promising features and then changing the scope and telling the community that one was just being cheeky is not a good look. Closing tickets without even seeming to read them if they are not containing certain trigger words is not a good look. Offering a Feature Reque…

I hadn’t thought of this option, but honestly it makes more sense if providing any kind of support to home-lab and other DIY’ers is too far out of reach. Making an Enterprise-lite edition available opens the door enough to satisfy some higher-end appetites, particularly those whose job it is to eval…

And there you go: [image] Building a Bridge Between Community & Enterprise Blogs For years, a clear request has echoed through TrueNAS community channels – maybe you’ve made it yourself: “Give us a way to access TrueNAS Enterprise features on our own hardware.…

Would be nicer if I had some straight-forward pat-answer formula to spit out for this one, but reality is a bit more complex than that :slight_smile: Oh I understand completely and this is actually exactly what I was hoping for — it’s just when say something general like “features” it leaves spac…

Coming late to the battle, but I have some honest question on the feature aspect. iX has invested in HexOS, and that one is much more dedicated towards home consumers. This would need Truenas to have some dedicated consumer features to be added. I think about ZFS extend, and ZFS hard drive mix and …

I seem to have caused some confusion as to what I meant. Sorry, if I left too much room for interpretation or it seemed hostile. Quite the opposite was my intention. Maybe I can clear it up a bit. [image] neofusion: If you are going to say something like this, please cite actual examples of the…

This will most likely not be what I talked about, especially since it seems to be closed source, reliant on iXs cloud, collecting quite a lot of data (according to the privacy policy ), and includes forced arbitration, even if this would not be applicable to me due to my location. But maybe others wi…
