I have a HP Proliant Microserver N36L currently running FreeNAS 11.0-U4 I want to update FreeNAS, either to the latest TrueNAS core or to whatever would be best for my hardware. Have a few questions/concerns… 1.) What upgrade path should I take? 11 → 11.2 → 11.3 ->12 ->12.1 ->…-> 13 Or 11.0 →…

If you decide to go SCALE, I suggest going Dragonfish: lots of fixes and improvements over 23.

I don’t think we actually agreed on anything. you noted that to keep configs and data intact, would be best to upgrade through each major release. And Davvo did say not to use apps Sorry to also ask… what is Dragonfish?

[image] Snake_eyes: and there was no answer. I believe a major update is a change in .number, like from 11.1 to 11.2. @Captain_Morgan please confirm this. [image] Snake_eyes: Does anyone have an actual link to Dan’s script? [image] Scripted Plex Installation Resources …

[image] Snake_eyes: Does anyone have an actual link to Dan’s script? For Plex? Sure: [image] Scripted Plex Installation Resources Another scripted installation of mine, this one for Plex Media Server. Script and instructions are here:

Its recommended as a 2 step process to SCALE: Upgrade to 13.0-U6.1 Install Provides installation instructions for TrueNAS CORE. You do have option of staying on 13.0 and using Dan’s jail/plex script. Sidegrade to SCALE Preparing to Migrate Gui…
