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?

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 t…

I don’t think VMs and Apps were the main point. Back then they wanted to heavily lean into the scale out part… that didn’t work out of course hence the name change but TrueNAS Core did have VMs and cages too… Linux just also has a much wider userbase and support for (especially newer) hardware. I…

[image] TheColin21: but TrueNAS Core did have VMs and cages too… Yes, but bhyve is much less mature than KVM and supported less OS’s at the time, likely even now still. Jails, or I guess you call it cages due to ixSystems choosing to use iocage as the jail manager, while much more mature and …

[image] Whattteva: or I guess you call it cages I don’t, I just mixed that up :sweat_smile: [image] Whattteva: No, just look at the output between getfacl command on FreeBSD vs Linux, the difference is stark. Linux’s setfacl command is also far simpler. FreeBSD offers far more fine-grain…

[image] Whattteva: I mean the NAS is basically a finished product long time ago, even since FreeNAS days even. This just isn’t correct. Sure, the changes at this point are largely incremental, but they’re still adding and refining features in that category. [image] Whattteva: All this i…

Hopefully now the TN team have decided what technologies they are using for Apps and Containers, after v26 they might put more effort into these areas along with the VMs. Also TN will probably have more resources as the CORE enterprise fleet gets obsoleted. In the last couple of years they have bee…

[image] shoulders: Promox and Unraid are the competition here but I don’t think they are in the enterprise domain but their apps and VM handing is a lot better I believe. I don’t know about Unraid, but Proxmox is definitely in the enterprise domain, though their market share is rather tiny co…

[image] shoulders: Maybe an official policy on Apps and their updates would be useful. Each app could have a grade which denotes how much priority it gets for updates. You mean this section in the online documentation? [image] App Support Definitions Defines the different kinds of…

[image] shoulders: Promox and Unraid are the competition here Unraid maybe, but Proxmox is a very different product. Sure, it overlaps somewhat with TrueNAS, in that it does ZFS, and can do VMs and LXCs. And, of course, it runs on Linux. But that’s about where the similarities end. Proxmo…

not what I meant, but thanks for the link. I meant in respect of update cadence. the levels would be: 1-2 days after an update comes out e.g. TrueNAS official apps 7 - 14 days after an update comes out 30 days after an update comes out No guaranteed release date And then you could have the T…

Apps and Virtualization

A lot may be covered by this thread and why there weren’t updates for a period. In short, I think the Enterprise apps are the only ones that may get preferential treatment on updates. All others are just when they are able to be accomplished.
