Hi everyone,
I have few truecharts apps using gluetun that i would like to get rid of to move on the supported ones by truenas.
Is there any official guide with mullvad or airvpn, any vpn provider even ?
TrueNAS is transitioning from Kuberbetes to Docker as their apps platform. I would wait for this to be finished in the next major release before you attempt to reconfigure your setup.
TrueNAS is working on the upgrade path for Electric Eel. They have stated that their goal is to automatically transition all installed apps to Docker during the upgrade process. You can hold off, but I don’t see an issue moving forward.

I’d also recommend adding an apps pool or dataset and setup folders that will hold your config and other information instead of using the TrueNAS default of internal storage. This will allow for easier migration of your data in case something goes wrong with the upgrade. Please make sure to back up these directories before you do the upgrade to Electric Eel.
When you deploy the app, you will get options for configuring file storage. You will need to manually create the folders before app deployment and then set permissions to match the user and group you are running the app as (also configurable). I have a specific user and group for this and use that same user and group for all of my apps and set the permissions on these folders for that user and group.
If you are going to install Immich, pay attention to the documentation, the Postgres data location will need to be owned by a specific user (netdata IIRC) regardless of the other folders being owned by the “app user and group” you configure.
That’s why I saw recently on the subreddit that truecharts (never used it) would stop making apps. What do they have against Docker?
Most of the apps have a host path to a app dataset So I should be covered. Only two apps remains as truecharts app as they need to be behind vpn, sabnzdb and transmission, you know for Iso download.
Nothing I think. They focus on building apps for Kubernetes (I think). Docker already has an extensive library of applications: https://hub.docker.com/
All of which will become available to TrueNAS users (hopefuly).
Sweet! Sounds like you’re all set. I wanted to make sure you knew that going with TrueNAS apps now will be safe as someone seemed to think it wasn’t.
I have been going without VPN for SAB since it’s point to point with SSL to my news provider. The other app would definitely benefit. I don’t usually run torrents because of the
Thanks for starting this post. I’ll keep an eye on this post to see what people smarter than me come up with.
You can already deploy any of those. Just click the custom app button in TrueNAS and add the image repo for the app you want.
I am not a 100% noob, I have a docker server with 40+ services, traefik all configured and stuff 
I read the same that sab should be fine without vpn thank to ssl but I feel like it was a nice to have, just in case.
I can reach 140mb behind a vpn, what can you reach without ?
And it’s been there for many years, used to be called launch docker image. All my apps are from images, none are from IX.
That’s still running of k8s though, isn’t it? I never set an apps pool.
My bandwidth is pretty low (28MB/sec) but I get full speed with Newshosting.
Yes, that will change in the next release. But it is all automated currently.
