Fangtooth Updates, Apps Port Sharing Fix, and what's ZFS AnyRaid? | TrueNAS Tech Talk (T3) E029

On today’s episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Kris and Chris talk about the latest update to Fangtooth and the Apps IP Update, including a fix that landed about thirty minutes before recording. There’s a bit more news on the upcoming fall release of 25.10, and a pack of questions about potential new features for ZFS itself, including mixed SSD/HDD pools, the mixed-drive-size support of ZFS AnyRaid, and where Special VDEVs can be put to good use for small files. And while Kris might not have gotten his Switch 2 this week, he at least didn’t get one with two holes in it!

Not convinced your port fix is working - or maybe you have done half of it

I am trying to reset the GUI (System/General Settings/GUI) back to 80/443 from 81/444 and getting an error saying that nginx is on 80/443 (which it is but bound to a different alias). GUI is bound to a single IP only [Note I have done an Apps refresh and update first]

Tried the other way around. Shutdown nginx, reset the GUI back to 80/443 and now nginx (from the apps catalog) won’t start.

RenderError(err_str) from None base_v2_1_35.error.RenderError: [EINVAL] render.nginx-proxy-manager.schema: The port is being used by following services: 1) "192.168.38.32:443" used by WebUI Service

Ruh Roh, did we start popping the champagne too early?

Its probably best to start a new thread in TrueNAS General and just copy the link here.

The primary test case should be when adding new Apps does it work. That was the goal. After that works, we can review the case of supporting previously deployed Apps.

I think so

AnyRaid, interesting. I can see a use case even for “normal” NxY media storage: Drive failures.

Mine are 8x8TB and going on 7 years old. Still going strong, no errors. And - eventually these will start failing. 8TB is no longer the sweet spot. Putting a larger drive in always felt a little bit like a waste - sure once all eight have been replaced I have the new capacity, but that’s years of gradual failures.

Being able to go from 8x8TB to 7x8TB+14TB, and so on, could be attractive for home use.

Have to see inevitable tradeoffs, and whether AnyRaid requires a fresh vdev (I’m kinda assuming it will). And of course it’ll actually have to be available :).

Speaking of resources. What are the rules for adding resources to resources section? Some minimum membership level?

In the past forum version I believe anyone could make resources for others to use. Resources | TrueNAS Community

But now it seems only minority of users can create resources there. So how are regular users supposed to contribute resources if they cant create threads there?

Create a thread, then flag it for moderator review with a reason of “other.”

And leave your resource forever “reported”

Or just tag a moderator

Are resources handled now by just posting in the General thread and tagging the post with 'Resource' and then hopping the mods eventually move it into place? I keep meaning to move over the one resource I made in the old forums.

If anyone knows.

True, but does it matter?

I find it displeasing
