TrueNAS is an open-source NAS (Network Attached Storage) operating system based on FreeBSD (TrueNAS CORE) or Linux (TrueNAS SCALE). It provides file sharing, data protection, and virtualization features for home or enterprise storage.

• TrueNAS CORE: Best for traditional NAS (FreeBSD based)

• TrueNAS SCALE: Supports Docker, Kubernetes, virtualization (Linux based).

Step 1: Download and Prepare Installation Media

1. Visit https://www.truenas.com/download/

2. Choose TrueNAS CORE or TrueNAS SCALE

3. Download the .iso file

4. Use a tool like Rufus or balenaEtcher to create a bootable USB stick from the ISO.

Step 2: Install TrueNAS

Boot from USB:

1. Plug in the bootable USB to the target machine

2. Boot and enter the BIOS/UEFI to set the USB as the first boot device

3. Reboot to launch the installer.

Installation Steps:

1. Select Install/Upgrade

2. Choose the boot device (e.g., USB or SSD – note: it will be wiped)

3. Set a root password

4. After installation, remove the USB installer

5. Reboot into TrueNAS.

Step 3: Access the Web UI

Once TrueNAS boots:

1. The console will show an IP address (e.g., http://192.168.1.100)

2. Open a browser on a device on the same network

3. Visit the displayed IP

4. Log in with root and the password you created.

Step 4: Initial Configuration

1. Set Timezone and Hostname

• Go to System > General

• Set your hostname and timezone.

2. Create Storage Pool (ZFS)

• Go to Storage > Pools > Add

• Choose Create new pool

• Add disks and configure RAID level (e.g., RAIDZ1, mirror)

• Name the pool and click Create.

3. Create a Dataset (Optional)

• Inside the pool, create datasets for different shares (e.g., media, backups).

Step 5: Set Up Network Shares

Option A: SMB (Windows/macOS)

1. Go to Sharing > Windows (SMB) Shares > Add

2. Select the dataset path

3. Name your share

4. Enable the share and save

5. Go to Services > SMB, enable and start it.

Option B: NFS (Linux)

1. Go to Sharing > Unix (NFS) Shares > Add

2. Choose the dataset path and set permissions

3. Enable NFS service.

Step 6: User and Permissions

1. Go to Accounts > Users > Add.

2. Create users with their home directories and shell (if needed).

3. Assign users to datasets with proper permissions under Storage > Pools > Permissions.

Optional: Enable Additional Features

• Apps (TrueNAS SCALE only):

  • Go to Apps > Launch Docker containers like Plex, Nextcloud, etc.

• Snapshots:

  • Enable ZFS snapshots for versioned backups

• Replication:

  • Set up data replication to another system

• Alerts:

  • Configure email alerts under System > Alert Settings.
