FYI… it doesn’t all quite work yet. There is a bug where we check for allowed port numbers and don’t permit ports that are re-used from other IP addresses.
Kris, do you happen to know if this bug related to ports will allow mDNS to work on the per IP apps? I’m not familiar enough with mDNS to know if it only relies on ports or if there is other network magic involved. I’ve been hoping to get the home assistant app working.
So if I happened to miss the deadline, are there any manual steps I can follow to migrate my plex app to EE / Fangtooth? That’s the only one I particularly care about migrating.
Edit: Okay looked at the EE release notes and found this.
Due to breaking changes involved in enabling host IP port binding, June 1, 2025 is the deadline for automatic apps migration on upgrade. Any users still running TrueNAS Apps on 24.04 after June 1 must re-deploy those apps after upgrading to 24.10 or later.
2nd Edit: Because I had almost all of my apps set to host paths, the recreation of my apps was actually very easy! I just created the app and pointed to the folder that the configuration lived in. All my recreated apps work perfectly fine!
After June 1st, Cobia and Dragonfish users with Kubernetes Apps will need to manually back up and restore their application data and configuration to a new Electric Eel installation.The manual update process is more complex and should be avoided.
Is this process documented anywhere?
I’ve just discovered this announcement – there’s no indication anywhere on my TrueNAS dashboard that an update is available, and you’d only notice on the /ui/system/update page if you noticed the “Train” field is in fact a drop down menu.
Great to hear! But this is good guidance.
There was no intention to make it difficult to update… but it was even easier before June 1.

Would it be possible to get access to the migration tool such that we could automate at least some parts of the migration process?
It would save me a lot of time and possible errors if I all env vars and fs mounts would be auto-migrated and I would only have to deal with networking manually.
The migration tools were integrated into the App catalogs… which had to be changed to allow per-App IP addressing. That was the reason for the June 1st deadline.
Hello, if we missed the deadline for the migration of applications, is it really over for my applications? Will I have to reinstall everything manually, or is there a future update planned for people who didn’t have time to migrate?
I don’t quite understand why was there a deadline for this… It doesn’t make much sense to me. If an update was possible before it should still be possible at any time…
Also I was on 24.10.2.1, not any older version. Shouldn’t this be a problem only for those on older systems?
I’ve upgraded to 24.10.2.2, but the problem persists…
I’m very disappointed with TrueNAS regarding this!
