Jellyfin v12 was released a few hours ago. I’m using the app through the TrueNAS apps. When can we expect an update here?
And is there a way to track its progress?
When the apps maintainer tested the app and verified there are no issues. As to how long that will take, hours, days, maybe a week. We do not know…
Is there any chance to support and/or track the progress?
not that i know of, no. you can only check if there’s an open issue on github.
Edit:
If you don’t want wait until updates are tested, convert your jellyfin to custom app, change the image-tag to latest and redeploy the app. Note that this is a one-way ticket and you can’t convert it back to a truenas app. Then you’re responsible yourself for any issues that may arise in a future.
If there is no progress to track, then I’ll create some.
Is there anyone here who can approve and test the whole thing? At least to get the pipeline running?
The one maintainer i know of is stavros, but he’s rarely active in the forums, only on github
Historically I think 2-3 days has been the norm. You can walk back through the GitHub commits to confirm.
I already created a PR

Honestly if you care about having the latest version hours after it is available I would propably recommend switching to a custom app or even creating your own docker compose file for this…
No, I generally don’t really care, but not for this update. ![]()
I understand the excitement about Jellyfin v12 (I also enjoy that update a lot) but I’ve had too many problems with truenas apps (and especially updates) to still trust that some for more than my container management (portainer - and even that is a custom app now)
I mean, isn’t that (Apps) the main selling point of TrueNAS SCALE?
As far as the apps from the catalogue i use go they’ve been stable since the switch to docker. But the i got burned one too many times by the old kubernetes based apps that i simply switched to my own stacks. Way less headache and all apps update automatically with tugtainer, i get mailed a list which app got updated and it’s been smooth sailing vor close to two years now.
That’s kind of my point, if you don’t use the Apps, then it kind of takes away the main selling point and you’d likely be better served with just running plain Ubuntu or Debian Docker host.
i run 99% of my apps in a debian lxc, there’s only 4 app that run directly on my truenas (all custom apps), cooler-control to set fan speeds, scrutiny, tugtainer-agent so that external tugtainer can manage updates for my custom apps that run on truenas and peanut as a gui to monitor my ups
Sure, if you ignore all the NAS stuff. And the ZFS stuff. And the GUI stuff.
Honestly I think I never heard anyone say that ![]()
The main selling point of TrueNAS Scale, as @dan said, are it’s NAS features.
That’s probably why it’s not called TrueApps or similar ![]()
Truecharts cough cough…
I have some PTSD from that topic…
I mean the NAS is basically a finished product long time ago, even since FreeNAS days even. It feels like all the new development (and subsequently, the turbulence) all comes from the Apps, which started as Charts k3s, and now Docker. Also the KVM virtualization. All this is the primary reason why they migrated to Linux.
Personally, I think if the focus really is NAS, FreeBSD offers a much more expressive and more detailed file ACL’s than Linux.
I also suspect, that is a big part of the TrueNAS draw to the broader audience. The theoretically simple one-click Apps.
