Pablo AsekasUsuarios de <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TrueNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TrueNAS</a> ¿cómo hacéis las copias de seguridad? Estoy valorando cómo gestionar los backups y la verdad es que montar otro sistema remoto no es viable. Eso me deja dos opciones: - Usar un servicio en la nube. - Montar algún sistema para hacer las copias en un disco duro externo. Me vendría genial ver cómo lo gestionáis para conocer más opciones.

Pete Prodoehl 🍕In an effort to understand TrueNAS a bit more I've done a lot of weird stuff in testing it... I made a pool with three drives, pulled out one of the drives, waited a week, plugged it back in, but via USB, and it looks like the system is doing the right thing. Who knows? At some point I may actually build a usable system! 😅 ➡️ <a href="https://rasterweb.net/raster/tag/truenas/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rasterweb.net/raster/tag/truenas/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/truenas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#truenas</a>

hackbyteHaben wir eigentlich brauchbare ZFS/TrueNAS spezis hier unter uns?Ich bin grad dabei ein künftiges nas zu planen... basis wird so ein xeon basierter server mit 4x sata. da rein sollen 2x 500gig sata ssd fürs booten (mirrored) und tendentiell dann 4x 12tb nas platte.Damit das passt kommt ein 8port hba dazu.. Es bleiben also 4 bis 6 freie sata ports.... macht es sinn da dann nochmal so 960gig SSDs ranzuhängen als cache/metadata/whatever?Alles davon soll am ende nativ mit zfs laufen .. großartige spielereien drumherum will ich am system nicht mehr machen eigentlich .. nurnoch on top. ;)Meinungen? ;)<a href="https://friendica.utzer.de/search?tag=zfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#zfs</a> <a href="https://friendica.utzer.de/search?tag=freenas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freenas</a> <a href="https://friendica.utzer.de/search?tag=truenas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#truenas</a> <a href="https://friendica.utzer.de/search?tag=hardware-configuration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hardware-configuration</a> <a href="https://friendica.utzer.de/search?tag=randomshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#randomshit</a> ;)

Paco Hope #resist<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@FritzAdalis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@FritzAdalis</a> The virtual hard disks of the VMs are ZFS zvols, not files. There are regular snapshot of those zvols. But: (a) restoring a VM from a zvol snapshot is an exercise left to the reader. There’s no GUI, no CLI script. No documentation. (b) I don’t know if it’s possible (it certainly isn’t easy) to move those snapshots off-host/off-site for safe keeping, then bring them back onto the host to restore. (c) it takes more to back up a VM than making a write-consistent snapshot of the hard disk. How many CPUs had I assigned? How much RAM? If it had more than one virtual disk, which zvol was boot and which was data? If I restore by making a new VM with a new virtual NIC it will get a new MAC address and DHCP will assign a different IP when the restored VM boots. A backup process for a VM captures all these things. A restore process accounts for putting things back.It’s not that any of this is insurmountable. (Maybe the zvol export thing is) It’s just that I shouldn’t be doing this from scratch/the hard way in 2025. There is absolutely no reason to run VMs this way.There are so many better ways to offer VMs. They would have done better to leave the feature out. It’s less work for them and doesn’t mislead their users.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TrueNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TrueNAS</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a>

And then I noticed that it could do VMs. Great! I thought. I have a couple different VMs running some important things like <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a>.What I have discovered is that their VM support is terrible. Unless I misunderstand, I literally cannot do any of these things:<ul><li>backup a VM</li><li>restore a VM</li><li>export a VM</li><li>import a VM</li><li>snapshot a VM</li></ul>If I treat each VM like a full <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> host, I can back it up using something else (e.g., <code>rsync</code>). But if this was <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/xcp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xcp</a> with Xen Orchestra, I'd have this whole thing solved in seconds.I'm thinking about creating a big VM, running a nested hypervisor (XCP) and then running my VMs there. But that sounds like a huge faff. And even then, while I could snapshot the child VMs, that parent VM running the hypervisor would be hard to backup/restore.I have plenty of RAM and spare CPU cycles on my NAS. But I've only recently understood how bad this VM support is. If I lost my HomeAssistant VM I'd cry.Anybody have thoughts on this? <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a>

MrAndrewDAs a former sysadmin, I just had to replace a home NAS <a href="https://aus.social/tags/truenas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#truenas</a> disk with a serial Number "WDH07B6X".A WD prefix? That's a Western Digital drive.... right?Nope.... Some schmuck in 2016 at Seagate is now having a laugh at my expense, having started serial numbers with a WD prefix back in 2016.

Pete Prodoehl 🍕Yay! I finally got 6 drives connected to the HP Z420 for my TrueNAS build. Seems there are extra SATA ports on the motherboard that are not used or something? I found the two "hidden" ones and got all the drives to show up.This was a pain but I am past it now and can move on to getting all drives into place.I believe I've got four 4TB drives to stick into it, just debating if I should make one a spare right away or not. I could use an old 6TB drive as the spare.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/truenas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#truenas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a>
