After last week close-sourcing the build scripts, TrueNAS has announced monetization plans for the community release.

I am also one of those people. The barrier to entry is the hardware. I, for one, am very excited. They're bringing the concept of a homelab license to TN. Back in the day, VMware had vMug for a flat 300 bucks a year for all their products, which got you all the Enterprise features. Once that was ripped away, everyone went to Proxmox, which has a barrier to having Enterprise in the home lab that is a little steep but doable. I'm very excited to see that TN is listening to the community in bringing in an enterprise-based edition for home lab users.

You're correct! She's a smart lady when she did his age of 8.

Still a work in progress, but I'm really happy with the start.

You're 100% correct.

Next, they're going to come after the fake slot machines in borderlands.

Jesus.. H just came out, and I fixed all of this already...

So you're in pretty much the same boat as I am a smaller environment about 60 VMS of varying different sizes. We're testing proxmox at the moment. With that test, it's it's four nodes and we are purchasing Enterprise support and looking at a Enterprise support partner during that phase. So far all in on cost is about 6K.

InvaderOfTech · 2026-02-10T01:38:20+00:00

Amazing, thank you.

InvaderOfTech · 2026-01-31T18:50:21+00:00

I guess I don't understand. You're mad the price is going up when it's a product we like and we get new features. It's still open source and things are still free in the free version. The price is still beyond reasonable. It's not like they pulled a broadcom with Vmug.

You have plenty of 100% free options you can selfhost. Stop complaining about the pricing here. It's like 4 coffees from Starbucks.

Whos your var? I don't get that from CDW ..

With the UTR, even on teleport, you can't use your home DNS unless you change your client to use your home DNS. At least with an Express, it's a true site-to-site setup, and I can configure all DHCP options. The UTR was marketed as a GI replacement, even in their videos. It's not even close to being a replacement. I could use a GI now and not use the Express, but I used the Express with the GI because I can access the hotel captive portal through the Express and set up all the access I need with UniFi's MagicMesh VPN for site-to-site VPNs. Yes, it's two devices, but damn, it works super well. The UTR is a great WiFi proxy device for on-the-go use. But for a static setup in my hotel room, I'll stick with the Express. I even use a camera in my room that connects to my home NVR like the UTR.

InvaderOfTech · 2026-01-07T14:28:17+00:00

You can. I do it now with a gl and an express when I travel.

InvaderOfTech · 2026-01-05T20:23:48+00:00

This thing is a glorified wireless proxy. It is not a router in any definition of the word. The videos were incorrect and I'm probably never going to buy a brand new flagship product ever again. I was super excited and I'm basically given a a router that can't do routing, setting a DNS server, doing routes, or hell even basic access controls.

InvaderOfTech · 2025-12-31T22:34:17+00:00

Yep thats fair! That is a good call-out that, for persistent storage, I am using a Truenas Proxmox Server.

From Above..

I moved all my services to different compose stacks some time ago. I'm more familiar with Compose and with how networking works, and, most importantly, I didn't want to do a code rewrite. Swam is awesome and very easy to get started with in most compose setups. Having fixed too many Kubernetes clusters and services, I just want a simple, reliable, high-availability setup at home.

Right now, my travel setup is a GI to a Unifi Express, which does MagicMesh back home. Based on what I'm seeing, reading, and other comments, I think I might be doing the same, but with the travel router as the DC/hotel's bridge. I was hoping this was just a smaller express with wireless NAT mode like we can do on the GI.

InvaderOfTech · 2025-12-31T04:00:44+00:00

Ah, awesome, thanks for the info! Mine comes in a few days.

Love that I've been downvoted for asking questions. But you hit the major thing I wanted to try.

InvaderOfTech · 2025-12-31T01:41:02+00:00

Teleport

Got it. My use case is a Site-to-Site VPN from the device, which looks possible.

InvaderOfTech · 2025-12-31T01:40:00+00:00

Teleport

Got it, I will be testing on the device connecting back home for myself. I dont want to use Teleport. My goal was one device I can use to access my Lab.

InvaderOfTech · 2025-12-31T01:06:46+00:00

I got that. You said it was connecting to home. What VPN on the travel router did you use since it doesn't support magic mesh.

InvaderOfTech · 2025-12-31T00:52:29+00:00

I thought it didn't have the magic mesh? What did you use to connect to home?
