How should I install TrueCommand on TrueNAS SCALE?

What’s the recommended/best/supported method?

I could not find it as a downloadable app.

Should I create a Docker container on TrueNAS and then how do I proceed? (The Docker instructions seem to assume a non-TrueNAS Linux?)

Should I create a Linux VM on TrueNAS? (And what distribution should I use? And should I install it using Docker in that VM?)

Any ideas?

You shouldn’t–installing the monitoring software on the system it’s monitoring seems more than a little counterproductive.

But if you insist on doing so, you can install it as a custom app.

I thought TrueCommand was primarily a management tool.

Anyway, how do I best install it as a custom app?

Management/monitoring. It’s intended to handle multiple TrueNAS systems; if you only have one TrueNAS box, there really isn’t any use for TrueCommand IMO (which is something iX is trying to correct using TrueCommand, so they can paywall high-demand features like enclosure management).

Um, follow the docs on installing a custom app? You’ll need to know a little bit about Docker.

IMO, if you’re going to be doing much with custom apps, you’d be better off installing one of the Docker manager apps like Dockge, and then using that to run the Compose file(s) of choice:

Thanks. Figured everything out. TrueCommand is up and running.
