How would migrating from 24.04 to 24.10 work?

Ok, so I currently have 24.04 running on my server and I have been looking to switch to 24.10 for the docker support. The thing is that I already have some third party docker containers stuffed into the apps section of my version of truenas scale ( I have no ideas how that works, but I was able to use docker containers in the apparently Kubernetes implementation on 24.04 and it all just works without any issue) and I was wondering how I would be able to migrate the containers and configuration fro .04 to .10.

Also it seems that many of the truenas official apps in the ixsystems library that comes with the os don’t work well on either os, so I also have been wondering about whether it may be worth the effort to actually make the switch?

People who have done the same, could you please help provide some insight into the process?

iX-Official, Community and Custom apps should automatically migrate from the kubernetes backend to docker, there’s a migration script running during the update to 24.10.
Third party apps like truecharts won’t migrate since truecharts build helm charts which don’t work with docker.
I’ve seen some posts with problems migrating app, but those were mainly due to permission errors (mainly apps with databases) where the db lost permission. Fixing permissions and re-running the migration script mostly fixed the problems.

and the advantage of this should be that the docker backend I much easier to work with and has many many more containers built for it compared to the kubernetes bak end which is very hard to develop for also just doesn’t work very well
