Early releases are intended for testing and feedback purposes. Do not use early-release software for critical tasks.
This is a small hotfix to correct applications-related issues discovered after the release of 24.10-RC.1.
Revised Docker networking logic to prevent users with 15 or more applications installed encountering network exhaustion, which resulted in the apps service failing to initialize (NAS-131485).
Did my updates here, so far so good. Super fast turn-around on this by the iX team! Appreciate any users with 15+ apps who hit this before confirming that it addresses their problems as well.
Huh, I was initially hesitant to switch because new software releases with massive changes almost always come with these kinds of teething issues, but the confidence of the IX System devs and KRIS is sky-high, so I’m going to go RC tomorrow.
I do see that there’s a new version of Plex from a couple days back, but the app isn’t showing as having an update, even after refreshing the catalog. Is that just delayed because chart updates are etill the primary support focus until Electric Eel goes GA? Just curious.
Is there a reason why RC2 doesn’t include the fix for the Web UI button taking you to 0.0.0.0:port despite the fix being done/merged 4 days ago, and the fix that RC2 ships with (for IP address allocation exhaustion with more than 15 apps installed) being included despite having only been fixed/merged yesterday?
Seems odd to me that the former wouldn’t be included despite being done way before the latter. And, arguably, a more annoying issue if you ask me.
You can just wait for the end of the month for the final release of 20.04 Electric Eel (if you are running TrueNAS in production). But if you want the update early at the risk of a few potential bugs, go on, you can update.
When updating from 24.04 to 24.10 RC.1, all my apps disappeared, although this wasn’t much of a big deal since I only had a few and could easily re-create them.
Upgrading from 24.10 RC.1 to 24.10 RC.2 however, my apps were once again wiped, and the applications screen list now only says " Applications are not running"
Is there any way to save my apps, or have they all been lost to the upgrade?
Edit: At least rolling back my boot to RC.1 seems to’ve brought them back, strange…
Now I need to research what Linux magic I need in a post init task to get my swap space back. Seriously I don’t take a server system without swap seriously
I have of course swap partitions in the order of magnitude of my RAM on all of my data drives …
Back in the days when memory was scarce and expensive you had at least 2x memory as swap. Then in the 2000s we changed to swap == memory. Now I still would not deploy a server without at least swap == memory / 2.
If you run out of memory for whatever reason, what are you going to do? Kill processes? Worst choice of all. Let the system swap. Monitor swap usage and send alarms to the operator on duty. That’s how you run a data centre.
Everything besides that (to me) weird choice regarding swap space looks good!
New to TrueNAS here. I’m currently setting up my first barebones storage server for my homelab. Is there any reason I should or shouldn’t use the release candidate? I mean, if I install the Dragonfish now and set up my pools, will there be any features that I wouldn’t have access to without recreating the pools? Should I just go with Dragonfish or go ahead with the RC — which will make my life easier in the long run.
Also, is fast dedup recommended to be turned on for a homelab setup?
“Because it’s pre-release and relatively untested” seems like a pretty good reason for me. But the siren song of Docker is apparently very strong.
I intend to go with Dragonfish for now, but I really don’t want to install and setup everything only to find that I’m going to have to redo it all in a month.
Other than apps, you wouldn’t need to install and set up anything else over again–the upgrade would handle all that. It’s supposed to handle apps as well, but given the massive changes in the apps changes from 24.04 to 24.10 I don’t have a lot of confidence. But it seems many folks have had it work well for them.
But an awful lot of us don’t trust a major release before .1 or .2. Jumping right in to a pre-release for production use is, IMO, unwise.
