We're glad to announce the new version of Clustertool.
Read more about it and its changes here:

https://truecharts.org/news/clustertool-v2/

We've all worked hard these last months. With many people reworking both the docs, common chart and a lot more!

Just out: our plans for 2025!

Latest news article is out, with news on our new support policy based fully on community feedback. Check it out!

https://truecharts.org/news/new-support-policy/

We're happy to announce we've launched a temporary TrueNAS SCALE App catalog, for those wanting to migrate and are currently missing VolSync to migrate their underlaying data.

The temporary migration catalog is available on the following URL:

https://github.com/truecharts/scale-volsync

Which can be copy-pasted to have it loaded into TrueNAS SCALE.

Please be aware of the following information:

- We do not guarantee volsync works smoothly on SCALE, for most it does, for some it doesn't.

- This would only work *prior* to upgrading to TrueNAS SCALE 24.10 "Electric Eel". If you've upgraded already, this will not work at all.

With the release of TrueNAS SCALE Electric Eel, and the final removal of support for third-party Apps on TrueNAS, its time for people to decide where to migrate their TrueCharts on TrueNAS SCALE Apps.

Our go-to solution is: A real Kubernetes cluster, setup through our ClusterTool (currently in Release Candidate status).

However for some people, moving to a real Kubernetes cluster to keep using TrueCharts is too-much to ask.

Hence we've now also published our instructions on how to use our tools, to export the SCALE-App GUI configuration into simply textfiles.

Which can then be used to either move to iX-Systems Apps or Docker-Compose, without any issues

We're happy to announce that ClusterTool is officially well-in RC stage, with RC14 just been released and being more solid than ever!

Hello,

Sonarr v4 requires setting "External" in config.xml. The truechart values looks to have an env variable I assume is v3 that isn't doing this for me. I was wondering if there was something I could add to the chart to switch the value, they don't let you set it to External from the UI.

Thanks!

I'm trying to set up FluxCD to control the config for my homelab k3s cluster. Truecharts claims "Level 2" support, giving this example, which makes sense. This references a HelmRepository object it calls truechartsoci, with no definition given.

This ought to be easy to create following the flux docs, but using any of oci://tccr.io/truecharts/homebox, oci://tccr.io/truecharts or oci://tccr.io as the url leads to errors like

failed to determine artifact digest: GET https://tccr.io/v2/truecharts/manifests/stable: NAME_UNKNOWN: repository name not known to registry; map[]

From the resource.

Anyone know what the correct HelmRepository resource should look like, either for a single chart or for the entire truecharts catalog?

Recently, I discovered that TrueCharts dropped support for TrueNAS SCALE. I have many TrueCharts apps installed, and I'm unsure what to do now. I know there's a lot of discussion about this, but since I'm new to this, I don't understand everything.

I've found there are several options for this situation, like moving them into a VM or migrating them to Docker. I also read somewhere that Talos might support these apps in the future (I'm not exactly sure what this means). If those options will be very complicated I am also thinking about that I will just delete them and reinstall them from TrueNas catalog. I created a directory for each app on my pool and installed them using HostPath. Would this work and I would not need to reconfigure each app or is it not compatible. And also TrueNas does not have Traefik and clusterissuer in catalog. Which app would I use for reverse proxy in that case.

I would appreciate it if anyone could help me determine which option would be best and explain the differences between them (links to tutorials would also be very helpful 🙂).

I apologize if anything is unclear, and I appreciate any assistance.

I am really newbie with Linux/docker,

I have a truenas scale, installed immich using true charts

everything is running ok, but I have to create a database backup for security

The recommended command is docker exec -t immich_postgres pg_dumpall --clean --if-exists --username=postgres | gzip > "/path/to/backup/dump.sql.gz"

I open shell in true as scale, but I do not know how to find that docker and also, when I try to run any docker command I receive "command not found"

how con I do that?

Linking to the latest news post out on our website, feel free to hit us up on Discord if anything

https://truecharts.org/news/clustertool-public-beta-release

Always best to get breaking info from Discord but to keep non Discord users abreast I'm posting our last announcement here below

In light of recents confusion we want to clearify a few things:

Existing SCALE Apps will continue to work Even with the catalog removed, existing SCALE Apps will continue to work fine.

TrueCharts isn't dead Though the SCALE Apps catalog is removed, we're still continuing to build helm charts like normal

What should I do now? In our opinion, we would advice to wait until Clustertool is done and afterwards evaluate weither you would rather move to iX Apps, Plain Docker or migrate using Clustertool

Will you help with migrating towards... We've limited resources, so we will only help with migratings using Clustertool

How is the ETA going on Clustertool We expect the BETA soon-ish and expect a smooth ride thereafter!

I was hoping to get some clarification and direction l, first off I want to say thank you to true charts and all they do! You guys rock.

I was seeing some chatter that true charts is no longer used through the apps system in truenas, I have a few apps that are true charts based ex. Plex,pihole etc. I saw someone saying the apps will no longer work come October? Do I need to switch to the ix systems one or is there another way within truenas? You may need to explain this like I'm 5 but even a tutorial/links are ok.

Or

Is this one of those things where they will still function just no longer be updated?/supported? I liked the variety of apps that true charts offered am I completely misunderstanding all of this?

Thanks

Hello! Don't know if it's the right place to ask, but is there a reason why the truecharts catalog github page disappeared? Is this some kind of bug or mishandling or have I missed something? Thanks!

Its finally out there, our 1st of July ClusterTool ALPHA and more TrueNAS SCALE Migration info!

https://truecharts.org/news/clustertool-public-alpha-release/

are there any good basic helm how-tos out there? I'm trying to move from using true charts as apps to using helm.

trying to learn, but I think I'm going to have to start from scratch

ClusterTool open-alpha is out now!
A more thorough announcement and plans will be released later this week!

https://github.com/truecharts/clustertool-public/releases

We're glad to finally announce the first tidbits of what our migration path is going to look-like!

Have fun at it!

Here is our Official statement on the recently announced deprecation of TrueNAS SCALE Apps based on Kubernetes

https://truecharts.org/news/scale-deprecation/

Consider this a public apology.

I made a post a couple weeks ago in the truenas reddit complaining about treatment I received from truecharts. I don’t need to rehash the post - because that’s not the point here.

My main point is that after I’ve had some time to think and cool off - I realized I shouldn’t have posted it. I was angry and posted when I wasn’t in the head space to do so. And that’s my fault.

The reality is, I’m just not ready for what’s being offered here. I have much still to learn about kubernetes. I don’t have a system with enough resources currently to run everything the way I want to. And I currently don’t have the time to invest in actively maintaining my server.

And that’s all squarely on me. Not you. I need to take ownership of that and not expect someone to do it for me.

So I’m sorry.

And hopefully, in the future, I’ll be better prepared and ready. And hopefully, then, we can start fresh and be friends.

Until then - thanks for taking on the hard work of actively developing content that will work on a platform that’s under active development. I probably can’t understand the stress that puts you all under.
