TrueNAS Community Server
Assembled a NAS from parts, installed TrueNAS and set up ZFS pools, shares and self-hosted apps.
We built the server ourselves from components, then took it all the way from bare hardware to a working NAS.
What we did
- Hardware assembly and RAID controller setup
- TrueNAS installation and base configuration
- ZFS pools, datasets and quotas
- SMB and NFS shares with user permissions
- Community apps on top
What I learned
- Creating shares and handling users and permissions in TrueNAS
- How RAID levels and ZFS pools relate, and what software RAID changes
