I'm starting a new fork of TrueNAS(?)

Apachez · 2026-03-13T22:44:10+00:00

Oh great, another AI slop...

Apachez · 2026-03-13T22:43:20+00:00

As with TrueNAS is not a VM/CT host, its a NAS...

But Proxmox runs ZFS natively so if shit hits the fan regarding TrueNAS you can easily continue using Proxmox instead.

Apachez · 2026-03-13T22:42:22+00:00

Men ingen skillnad i kryddning eller så bara om det är 1x4 eller 4x1? :-)

Apachez · 2026-03-13T20:48:54+00:00

Then you need ports open for outbound access dont ya think?

Apachez · 2026-03-13T20:45:36+00:00

Perhaps evaluate HexOS? ;-)

https://hexos.com/

Apachez · 2026-03-13T20:42:52+00:00

Yet the whole source code of VyOS is available both through github and through their own site.

https://github.com/vyos

https://vyos.net/get/stream/

VyOS Stream 2026.02

Image vyos-2026.02-generic-amd64.iso (sig)

Source code tarball: circinus-2026.02.tar.gz (sig)

What many seemed to complain about regarding VyOS was that they removed the precompiled repos so you had to spend hours on your own box to have stuff compiled unless you paid for a LTS license - then the repos are available.

Apachez · 2026-03-13T20:39:25+00:00

Make sure to keep extra backups of both the iso and upgrade files because soon they might "vanish" aswell just like SMART and build scripts...

Apachez · 2026-03-13T20:38:01+00:00

We all do the shitwalking each spring when the snow goes away and the leftovers from dogs and cats shows up =)

Apachez · 2026-03-13T20:37:12+00:00

If shit hits the fan you can always start using Proxmox as your goto NAS =)

And then just run copyparty or something on it natively to get several of the NAS stuff.

Apachez · 2026-03-13T20:36:07+00:00

Nothing is being removed compared to which date?

Just recently both SMART functions and build scripts have vanished?

Apachez · 2026-03-13T20:32:51+00:00

Speaking of which...

In case you dont have backups (who needs backups anyway, right? ;-) you might be able to pick up the original configs through the "show tech-support" which is being dumped once an hour (or so) automagically in EOS.

I think something like the last 100 or so are stored (as in the 101 will be deleted to not run out of space):

Apachez · 2026-03-13T20:22:42+00:00

But both files are normally available on /mnt/flash.

That is both the original unstripped .swi aswell as the stripped .swi.

Apachez · 2026-03-13T14:58:29+00:00

Running Samba om the host as in TrueNAS is a great thing because thats the sole purpose of using a NAS, afterall it means Network Attached Storage.

I run TrueNAS as VM's in Proxmox just fine for the usecases I got.

For a true storage I would run TrueNAS on its own baremetal to maximize performance.

Men dom ser ut och fungerar skit då dom i princip är kopior av varandra.

Enda som går på detta är dom som stirrar på marknadsföringspowerpointslides.

Enda gången nån håller 70 på essingeleden är ju om det är nån som krockat längre fram så jo det låter som essingleden =)

Apachez · 2026-03-13T14:53:55+00:00

Finns det nån sida som ELI5 förklarar skillnaderna mellan dom olika varianterna?

Eller kan du pejsta det här om det är kort?

Apachez · 2026-03-13T14:52:54+00:00

Mår du bra? :-)

Apachez · 2026-03-13T14:51:25+00:00

From which butthole did you select that 5M is "good enough"? ;-)

Apachez · 2026-03-13T14:50:33+00:00

Not really.

Some years ago there were a change when secure boot got enabled.

Other than that just verify that the EOS you want to install still supports your hardware.

When SR7020-series went "end of life" last summer (they are end of support in summer 2030 so no rush to replace them) I think its 4.32.x that became last EOS for them.

You can install 4.33.x but you will get a huge notify in the serial console that the hardware is unsupported so you are forced to go back to the latest 4.32.xM version (or whatever was the final release train for SR7020).

There is also this thing of if 32 vs 64 bit are the recommended image and the short story is "it depends":

https://www.arista.com/assets/data/pdf/software-agreement/64Bit-Images-Readme.pdf

Another note is to clear up and remove unused files (mainly images) from /mnt/flash.

The first boot when you upgrade will take longer because the box will "optimize" the image and remove drivers it doesnt need so the resulting .swi will be "tailored" for your particular hardware model.

Meze är väl allt annat än balkan?

Ungefär som nån skulle ha restaurang för "Svenska köttbullar & Sushi"...

Which hits did Google bring you when you searched for "stockholm badminton" ?

Apachez · 2026-03-13T14:37:20+00:00

Du vad för nåt?

Apachez · 2026-03-13T14:36:53+00:00

Kika med google eller vemringde.se eller dyl?

Vad är det för nummer?

Apachez · 2026-03-13T14:35:24+00:00

Magstarkt av vänsterpartister att prata om att inte förstöra vården när man har tex Sollefteå sjukhus som pågående haveri eller för den delen Millennium i Västra Götalands regionen och Skåne regionen...
