TrueNAS General

I have tried everything i can think of to get Rsync to work.

I have setup a admin user, im not certain what permissions i need to set

do i need a home directory or can i simply mount on a dataset i have created.

Im so confused and i hope im conveying this issue properly

I want rsync my asusor nas to it. i have no issue with asus nas to nas but when it comes to asus to truenas im getting a connection refused error.

any tutorial would be nice

TrueNAS Scale has an rsync client installed by default but no rsync service.

So you need either to:

  1. Do a pull from TrueNAS rather than a push from asustor; or
  2. Install the rsyncd app on TrueNAS.

So how would one setup a proper pull scenario on Truenas scale?

Do i need to set a certain user or certain drive or how would i

You’ve likely run run into the port issue

Rsync daemon app has default port set as 30026 not 873 change it and it’ll work
