In case you didn’t hear TrueNAS is going partially closed source. However, there seems to be a lack of alternatives.

Any ideas on what to move to?

    Currently running proxmox and using cockpit to present smb, which is all that I was doing with TrueNAS. Gotta set up a few pieces manually but not really a hassle.

      Does cockpit have proper UI for ZFS and NFS? That’s the only reasons I’m using TrueNAS currently and I’m a bit annoyed with it generally.

        Cockpit does through a separate module called cockpit-zfs but it doesn’t quite have feature parity. There are some niche situations where you may need to use cli

        Proxmox has a UI for ZFS. But you don’t really need it, ZFS is kind of set and forget and setting it up is quite easy via CLI.

          I know and I’m considering it, I’m already running Proxmox anyways. The connection between zfs, permissions and NFS is what I like in TrueNAS.

        Not for zfs. I mount zfs on proxmox. Why I don’t just run samba on proxmox, I’m not sure. There is some fuckery with permissions to make it work in a container and permissions are unnecessary for my use case.

        But you don’t really need a ui for zfs. I ran it for 10 years on TrueNAS and only used it for initial setup.
