I’ve got a freshly built NAS with the following hardware:
- MSI B550M-VC Pro WiFi
- Ryzen 3 2200G
- 4x8GB DDR4 3000
- Quadro P400
- X540-T2
I installed TrueNAS Scale on it today (24.04.2.2) and after the first boot everything was ducky. Via the web UI, I assigned a static IP address to the motherboard’s onboard NIC and was able to reconnect and save the changes. I then rebooted and despite the terminal telling me the web UI was available at the expected IP, no browser of mine could connect. Both machines could ping each other back and forth, but machine on my network could get to the web UI.
I left the house to run some errands and when I came back (in about a half hour) I was greeted with the login prompt (perhaps Firefox was silently retrying the connection in the background). After trying to create a pool via the web UI, I learned I needed to zap the partitions on my drives (they were scavenged from an old NAS). I did that via the terminal and rebooted, and now I’m back to no browser/computer being able to access the web UI despite what the TrueNAS terminal tells me.
I’ve been using Linux as my primary OS for ages, but I’m comparatively ignorant on networking stuff. It’s been longer than 30 minutes since this last reboot, so I’m not sure if it’ll magically reappear this time. Even if it did I’d want to solve this problem, however.
Any troubleshooting tips would be most welcome. =)
EDIT: As soon as I posted this, I went back to the TrueNAS web UI tab and refreshed it, and it’s back again. So it took ~45 minutes this time? Maybe it’ll take an hour after next reboot? Haha. Regardless, this is silly and I’d like to fix it.
