Ed Maste@Jazzynupe I'm interested in seeing how https://zvault.io/ shapes up
@emaste I hadn't heard much about it... Is the ui fairly decent? Any good reviews out there?
curtosis@Jazzynupe zVault *is* TrueNAS Core (minus some enterprise-licensed bits that aren’t important for most non-enterprise users).
I have the same dilemma, and have been considering whether I’m comfortable enough yet to “crossgrade” to zVault.
@curtosis I guess the real question is if it is easy to cross migrate to zvault. I like the newer UI, I just would hate to lose capability. But looks pretty good from the screenshots
Mazhe@Jazzynupe @curtosis I did a migration a few weeks ago and it is really easy now as zvault is basically a community build of truenas. If those proprietary bits did something, I'm not missing them...
@mazhe @Jazzynupe IIRC it’s things like HA failover and enclosure management. My budget (not to mention my power bill) doesn’t have room for me to worry about that. :)
@curtosis @mazhe @Jazzynupe Thanks everyone. Sounds like I have a weekend project. I have been concerned since iX abandoned FreeBSD & the underlying OS becoming stale. At least I know I have options now. Will go in order of UI functions. With base FreeBSD as a last resort.
@curtosis @mazhe Thanks for the suggestion everyone. Upgraded & now running #ZVault just fine. If updates don't happen, I can always move to #Xigmanas later since there is a preview of 14.1 available. #RunBSD #BSDSuggestions #BSDHelp #BSDAdvice

For reference, here is my config. I got cheap hardware from ebay but so far it has been solid for about a year. Configuration is the following:
1 boot vdev with mirrored 500gb ssds
3 data vdevs with 5 - 2tb drives in raidz2 for safety + 2 1.5tb cache ssds
1 system vdev with 3 - 1.5tb ssd in raidz1 for jails/vm for apps
& some spares just in case. All are 2.5 Inch to TRY to save some power. May get a 3.5inch JBOD but I still have room #zvaultio #RunBSD #BSDAdvice

@curtosis @mazhe just an update. I transitioned to #XIGMANAS since #zVault still has not had an update in 6 months. I may go back to it later but Xigmanas is up to #FreeBSD 14.3 so it is further along. Still learning, but I am using @BastilleBSD for my @jellyfin jail configuration & management. Things could be easier but they are at least working. 😁👍🏾

Koos Pol 🇺🇦@Jazzynupe Install XigmaNAS (original name NAS4Free), fire it up, and don't look back. Really. No really.
blotza@blotza I just learned about it yesterday, but reviews show it is a bit dated for the interface. But I have not looked closer.
