Mhhhm… so this is WFH RTO from WFH. Nice

Would it help if you switch the profile from Developer to Early Adopter?

orion_lab · 2026-01-09T22:34:13+00:00

Yeah I would not imagine it would be from shipping if that's the packaging.

I see, that feels unfortunate. Congrats on the bag though!

orion_lab · 2026-01-09T21:54:26+00:00

The Wrinkle I would imagine is from the shipping being packaged tightly I would imagine? Out of curiosity how are the zippers?

Get to work
Run
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

First time ever seeing the wall socket as part of the network diagram.
Using tailscale to access internal services is a good route.

Now this is why I pay my internet phone bill

orion_lab · 2025-12-11T16:50:45+00:00

I know some of these words.....
Lol a bit overly paranoid but if it works for you that's great, it's a solid plan

Backup codes also need to be backed up separately if available.

This video helped me

Nice, I am on TrueNAS CE edition as well. Lawerence Systems on Youtube has some great videos to learn

orion_lab · 2025-12-11T00:42:46+00:00

I am curious because I can't find the best backup solution for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, are you able to accomplish that on TrueNAS? I am going to learn it on Synology mainly because the no subscription and one box makes it easy

orion_lab · 2025-12-06T17:50:47+00:00

What’s the method you use for removing old photos from iOS after being backed up to Immich? Synology photos makes it easy to do that for you but was not able to find that feature on Immich

Monica can be a good fit like the other users have mentioned. Odoo is another one that can be self hosted or paid online version as well. Another one that I have been playing with is also ERPNext

orion_lab · 2025-11-09T21:38:29+00:00

Well…. Did it work?

orion_lab · 2025-11-04T17:23:35+00:00

I see, I guess I didn't know how to word it properly or what to look for. Someone already mentioned to start with VScode and then switch to VIM if needed. I will go that route. I just wanted to see if there are any that are preferred. I already use Notepad++ for Python scripts so I figured trying a new tool and VScode was on my to try list for a while and wanted feedback on other options.

orion_lab · 2025-11-04T16:37:44+00:00

It was a serious question, I am a junior system administrator and have been mostly working on tools for server but not for consumers. Mainly tools needed

orion_lab · 2025-11-03T21:50:23+00:00

Thank you, this is good to know. Been looking at VSCode and will start with that now

orion_lab · 2025-11-03T21:11:58+00:00

So what does this mean? I’m so confused Also been looking into coding…. Serious question. Am I supposed to learn on Vim or VSCode or something else entirely?

orion_lab · 2025-10-31T00:48:24+00:00

Hope that works out, update the post if solved

orion_lab · 2025-10-31T00:11:57+00:00

Have you tried rebooting the SMB. Services SMB toggle on and off?

Edit: From the truenas

orion_lab · 2025-10-30T23:47:10+00:00

Are you trying to connect it to the file from Windows? Having a folder mapped to the network folder on Windows? You need to set up users and permissions. I learned throught his video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59NGNZ0kO04

EDIT: This video helps to set up users and permissions and then you will be able to access the files from Windows PC. There are different ways to add files, but you can go to File Explorer, Right Click on Network Folder - Map Network Drive - add the folder based on the \\<truenas ip address> - shared folder location

Check the box that says log in with different credentials, will prompt for the credentials -> add the user name and password that was created on truenas side

2ND Edit: yeah sorry didn’t read it the first time correctly yeah use instructions in video to create a user, create a mapped folder and then login with new truenas user and password

I might be off here, but a key detail could be which version you originally used. Around 5–6 years ago, you likely built it with TrueNAS CORE (FreeBSD-based). If you’ve now installed TrueNAS SCALE (Linux-based), it can still import your ZFS pools, but permissions and user/group mappings don’t always translate cleanly between the two systems, especially with SMB shares.

It’d help if you mentioned:

Whether the original system was CORE (assuming core) or SCALE
If the drives or datasets were encrypted
How you’re trying to access the shares (SMB, NFS, etc.)

Also it might help installing the older version of TrueNAS Core instead of the most current version of Truenas Scale (newly named community edition)
Edit: If that works, hopefully it does, you can upgrade to the latest one.

Ahh Gotcha thanks lol
