TrueNAS CORE 13.3-BETA2 is Now Available

Is here some progress to expect; rc or release soon ?

I wouldn’t expect anything soon-ish; I would imagine that iX had diverted all resources to SCALE a long time ago (It’s probably only one/two person(s) left working on CORE–might even be as bad as one/two persons part time). iX has been saying the latest SCALE version is the most popular so far so that can be translated to: ā€œAll hands on SCALEā€. 13 will be EOL by the time CORE drops (or very close to it). I, personally, am trying to prepare myself for the possibility that the current is the last.

As am I. I already having XigmaMAS up and running, but no services migrated yet. A fork (which has been talked about) will be the next best thing if it happens.

Unless of course SCALE Electric Eel will do the trick for me, but I’m not banking on that.

They were encouraging users to test the beta more, pointing out to a lack of testers.

This being the final release of CORE (at the very least for a long while) is admirable they want to deliver the most solid experience possible.

Can’t imagine why they’d have a lack of testers for what they’ve already announced will be a terminal release.

I believe they removed the terminal :wink:

@pmh I noticed from the bhyve call that it was stated the VNC refresh but was fixed.

I’ve also been following what you and @Krisbee have been working on. From what I understand it’s either having VNC on the GUI or on a client.

Is this accurate?

Some will hate to read but I would remove the virtualisation (bhyve) part of core completely to be really consistent !

Strip out unmaintained plugins maybe, but why remove access to bhyve?

Agreed. Bhyve integration is essentially just the pkg with a built in GUI.

Because it looks that there are resources missing for core eg. terminal for the gui :wink:
So why not jails yes core, fancy virt stuff nope for core; If u need them it makes sense to switch to scale…and make core stuff as rock solid as possible !

Bhyve and iocage are as rock solid as it gets IMO.

The terminal was almost completely broken, hence the reason for removal.
Bhyve mostly works.
Iocage is as solid as it could be.

:thinking:

Ya but I talk about the resources to maintain it to keep it cool :wink:

Here is the neat part, iX won’t maintain it!

Ahaha, so Core is starting with 13.3 a community maintained only thing?
If so I missed that anouncement!

What about Core Enterprise ?

No, it’s an unmaintained thing. I already posted a link to the discussion thread on the old forum up-topic.

Did you try out napp-it cs? It runs fine with vanilla FreeBSD 14 ZFS servers. (Even though NFS support is still under development.)

So even more worst than community maintained :open_mouth:
