  1. Thanks, mine was so old that it didn't let me "upgrade" on installation. I just did a fresh install and imported that config file and everything went perfect. Literally took about 30 minutes from burning the usb to having it all working. Just remember, when you first login, the admin might be named "truenas_admin", instead of "root", like it was on old truenas.

  2. I'm running a NAS on core because im a DJ by hobby with a lot of music, and I have aspirations for development of software. I may have taken the time to slowly build 2 very competent PC's for what they do for me, but I don't have the money to just buy new hard drives willy nilly and try to copy all of the data and THEN move over. Trust me. I would love to. Especially since my NAS is only one of a few copies of my data that I have, but I don't have the luxury. Thanks for a tutorial on this. Will edit for how my results turned out when possible.

  3. Running Core 13.0-U6.3 and want to migrate to Scale. Would you recommend using the WebGUI to switch trains to Scale, or just stick with the method in this video still?

  4. I haven't searched yet but do you have a video on the "new install and move over" method? I'm considering going bare metal and may go to scale since core is apparently EOL as of now.

    I only use it for a nas but may look into figuring out a Proxmox Backup Server and a one/google-drive alternative to backup (preferably automatically) cellphone pictures from mine and my families phones so they can be accessed from the pc without the cloud size limitations imposed on the free accounts (yes im cheap).

  5. This was one of the easiest upgrades I could've imagined given the fact that it's migrating data from entirely different architectures. Thank you so much. I really love BSD and hope to return when I have a bit more experience (and hopefully money). But the features of Scale really sold me on it; primarily when it comes to running game servers. But I didn't want to have to spend hours or days setting everything up again. Sure it probably isn't as stable, but I really needed more out of my server (a decommissioned R720). Especially given that all I was using it for before was a NAS and Plex server.

  6. thank god I backed up before the upgrade, once upgraded none of my pools showed up, so I told scale to restore and selected my backup, it then handled the conversion of my pools and when rebooted they were all there.

  7. No luck migrating here. Tried migrating 3 times, restored from backup 3 times, retried migrating 3 times again before giving up and ended up just doing a clean install.

  8. So how's passing through Intel integrated graphics (or NVIDIA graphics card) to Plex to help render video in scale contra core? I'm seriously considering migrating because i really want to start a bedrock Minecraft server

  9. Thanks mate, I just migrated over. Still works exactly as the video described.
    I had some issues with supported hardware on CORE, and it works perfectly fine on the Debian-based SCALE.

  10. Export secret seeds? what are they? 2.54 export dataset keys? i can not find it?
    TrueNAS-12.0-U8.1. I have now truenas core (12.0-U8.1) with samba (else i can not place and put files on it) and Plex. I need Home Assistant with interaction (On Truenas core there is only Home Assistant core so no zwave/ zigbee sticks. But is it possible to update to Scale without losing my media data?

  11. Just did a migration on my home lab and it worked well running TrueNAS-SCALE-22.02.0.1 on R710 with a H700 controller and no issues at all, thanks for the video love your content even though you talk at 100mph, but i enjoy all your content
