On today’s Pi Day episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Kris and Chris check in on the freshly-released Fangtooth RC1, dig into some very fresh commit for upcoming Incus features in 25.04 Release. Kris opines on the future of cryptocurrency and encryption as they relate to quantum computing, and both Chris and Kris pick off another pair of viewer questions.
Note: There will be no T3 episode on March 21st - we’ll be back on March 28th!
That little mention about possibly being able to import a qcow2 file from the UI is really exciting! The first thing I thought of was installing Home Assistant OS. The current installation process isn’t terrible. Still, if we could eliminate using the shell, I think that would remove 99% of the issues people encounter when installing HAOS in a TrueNAS VM.
That is exactly the use-case that originally prompted me to add this functionality to the API backend. Its not super hard to convert / import a VM disk image to a zvol, but ideally it all just happens automatically in the UI at some point.
