I’ve migrated VMs from my home lab vmware host. I have mixed environment – Windows, various linuxes (centos, ubuntu, debian) and I’m lazy to make LXC containers from all linux VMs so they are running as is.
Virtualization in TrueNAS is still no go – nothing changed from my first post here (TrueNAS SCALE as a virtualization host. Am i cooking it wrong?). Bad UI, lack of features (VM start order, simple backup and snapshot UI in VMs context
Applications in TrueNAS are also no go – i’ve tried to migrate my Transmission from one of my VM to App and stuck in configuration issue – there is no way to make watch folder works (Editing config.json doesn’t seem work for Transmission app in Scale) .
LXCs seems to be also no go – same problems as for VMs (startup order, snapshots and backups)
So the only reason for me to use TrueNAS is that it is a brilliant storage solution and i have ~14TB of data to store and only 1TB of VMs. So i need storage more than virtualization host. And i want my home lab to be as compact as it can be. So one server is enough.
