Dear forum people, I missed the deadline for automatic migration, so would appreciate a bit of guidance how to do it the “hard way”. I already migrated off TrueCharts apps and only using TrueNAS ones now. All up-to-date with the latest chart versions. My apps are set up with default ixVolumes for…

In the same case of you, but not easy to find something…

The only option left is to manually re-create the apps. And in my opinion, it would have been a better option if you would have also used hostpath for the config storage. Because this would allow you to simply re-install the app, point to the existing hostpath for data and config and the app should …

I started researching this and found a few relevant threads: [image] Moving from IX Volumes to Host Path Storage (not difficult!) TrueNAS General Save a copy of /mnt/.ix-apps/user_config.yaml Create the host paths you wish to use. Consult your existing app config (the list…

I also missed the boat. Has anyone successfully upgraded?

Updating isn’t the problem, there are rarely problems with the truenas update itself. The Problem is that you will loose your apps and you will have to manually recreate them. Depending on how your kubernetes apps are set up, it can be easy or hard. The easy version would be if you’ve already used…

It's not in the Backup Sqlite! - #2 by eduncan911 Is there a way to Export the current apps installation configuration, before upgrading from 24.04? ENVs, HOST_PATHs, additional volumes, cpu, memory setting, et…

No that was one feature that was requested a lot but never got implemented.

I found all the metadata here: [image] Where exactly are Applications configuration stored? It's not in the Backup Sqlite! Apps and Virtualization Ah, it looks like I needed to backup one directory. The metadata info is stored in: /mnt/.ix-apps/ Had to drill down quite…

FWIW… I ended up doing a manual migration of the apps. For each app: I created a new subdirectory on a pool (a ‘host path’), and then copied all of the data from the ix-applications volume for that app to the subdir using rsync -a -v <src> <dst> Edit the app config to point to a host path Start …
