Doubtful, we generally do not provide any guidance on command line operations because we generally do not test those operations for safety and, especially, for compatibility with the TrueNAS UI. And since this is untested you can and in many case will lose CLI changes the middleware was unaware of the next time you update, which is the reason that CLI changes are not supported.
It is an experimental feature that will continue to develop throughout the 25.04 versions and into 25.10, to bring in some more of these usability features, which is also why we’ve advised users with production VMs to remain on 24.10 until the experimental label is removed, likely in 25.10.0.
This is going to be exceptionally dicey with the announced app hard-cut in 2 months…
Realistically I have zero concern over that. Pragmatically, just a trust level that e.g. backups generated with standard incus backup commands don’t get blown away would be…adequate. Even if you implement something weird that makes me go in and delete them manually it’d be annoying, but manageable.
I’m certainly not going to expect e.g. clustering or other complex functionality to just work and persist across updates. For that matter, I’m certainly not going to expect any configuration changes to stick. I’d just like to be able to keep snapshotting my stuff like a normal person.
