I feel the start of the video is "before we get started, here is the terms of service, the part of what you can do and what you cannot do" that's the tone and pace I am feeling

Guys, what the best OS and setting to change my desktop PC into NAS multimedia server?
So, my plan is using :
- Motherboard : Asus ROG Strix B560
- Processor : AMD Ryzen 5600G
- Memory : 2 x 8 GB DDR4 RAM 3200 mhz
- SSD for booting OS (Freenas or?) : 512 GB SSD 2.5 inch
- Eksternal HDD bay : Yottamaster PS500RC3
- HDD 3.5 inch : WD Red @ 8 TB x 5
- Power Supply : 450 watt 80 plus bronze
Question :
1. Can OS FreeNAS/TrueNAS detect Yottamaster HDD bay as partition hard disk on my Desktop PC ? (i will use usb 3.0 port from motherboard to connect to Yottamaster HDD bay)
2. Can i use my Nvidia Shield TV pro 2019 to play all movies from Yottamaster HDD bay i connected to motherboard on my desktop PC ?
3. Please give me best setting or tutorial to build this desktop PC as NAS Server ^^
4. Can OS FreeNAS/TrueNAS install application such as Plex, Kodi or etc? Please explain ^^
Im newbie guys, so please guide and teach me. Thank you 🙏😉
I went to install true nas and after I booted from the install usb it just gives me a black screen?
SICK Tutorial! Never seen one so precise and to the point! Thanks for your time helping TrueNAS noobs like me!
We thank you so much for the kind words!
If you have more questions or need some extra assistance be sure to check out our TrueNAS Community Forums: www.truenas.com/community/
u5.1 actually does make UI considerably more responsive, thanks for this
Thank you for the kind words!
Me: "Ok, let's make that old laptop a NAS. Woohooo! Let's go"
TrueNAS: "You need at least two disks, 8GB of RAM and Wifi is not supported."
Me: "Ok! Let's forget about NAS and take that old Laptop to the trash! What an experience! Woohoo!"
As an alternative method, you could just install a Linux distro (Debian or Ubuntu server for example), setup SMB and you would be good to go.
Great vid, really helped me with installing TrueNAS CORE on my home file server
Glad to hear that! Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you; very simple install, worked without issues.
Glad to hear that! Enjoy your time with TrueNAS SCALE!
I would like to see what happens when 1 disk from a RAID 5 fails, and then how to do a HDD replacement without losing data, and how it rebuilds the array after the replacement disk has been installed.
We will keep that in mind when creating future videos! Thank you for the suggestion!
Any videos on how to upgrade an existing Freenas install to TrueNAS?

Hi guys, I have a question. I am planning to configure truenas on my old PC. Once it is done, can I use that old PC as both truenas server and a normal windows PC?
You can use two boot devices for TrueNAS and Windows, but you can't use them at the same time. Unless you use a hypervisor like VMware or Proxmox.
Thanks for the help ❤
my computer that has already true nass installed doesn't enter in installing menu with the usb inserted...instead i only have the option "boot true nass single user"
please HELP
EDIT: i already set the usb as first boot option
i recommend to not remove the media installer (usb stick)! I did and i found that truenas wasnt installed correctly on my os disk. I found out the problem was with uefi vs legacy option. After i chose uefi, i rebooted with the usb stick still connected and it managed to boot from the os disk jsut fine.
Is it possible to use my NAS just as external HDD? I mean does it nead to be connected via dsl after installation? I would rather access my data via a USB cable as you would do with an external Drive.
Great video!!
I've tried following the steps and when it's time to restart the computer, it displays what would display if I hadn't installed truenas. Any ideas what would this be? Any info will be good
thank you
Anyone else experiencing a black screen with an underscore after the booting starts? I can’t get past it
Can I install it without ECC RAM? I have multiple backups and it's not my main storage solution.
You can install TrueNAS without ECC RAM!
However, please keep in mind that we do highly recommend ECC RAM for data integrity and reliability.
Whenever i do it for some reason it automaticly downloads it to the usb even if i select the drive
They left out a lot of text from in between steps. My set up doesn’t even seem to Match…
Hi Dalton,
We are sorry that our video was not helpful to you. Can you please make a post detailing the issues that you are facing on our Community Forums?

I have a weird problem.
I installed TrueNAS Core to my i3-3217u laptop with 8GB ram and i7-4790k desktop with 16GB ram.
After installation(4:43), rebooted. But both computers cannot find the installed SSD; the error message says missing booting hardware or files.
In BIOS, I cannot find the SSD that I installed TrueNAS.
I installed "Boot via UEFI". Doesn't work. So installed "Boot via BIOS" again. Still doesn't boot; booting HDD cannot be detected.
However (1), TrueNAS "SCALE" and OMV were installed and booting without any problem. (But I want TrueNAS CORE.)
However (2), I installed TrueNAS CORE on another 16GB USB flash memory stick(SanDisk) instead of the Samsung SSD 840 Evo. My system detects the USB memory, and TrueNAS CORE boots OK. I don't know why my computer detects a USB flash memory that TrueNAS Core installed, but not SSD that TrueNAS Core installed.

when i put usb my pc totally freeze and can select nothing
Error: [EFAULT] Unable to GPT format the disk "sdc": Could not create partition 1 from 128 to 4194304 Error encountered; not saving changes. :(
Will freenas or truenas be able to tell me if hardrive fails?
Hi Micheal, thank you for reaching out!
TrueNAS is able to tell you if a drive has failed. The notification would appear in the top right of the WebGUI under the bell icon!
i chose install then it hangs on a screen with a text cursor and nothing else
THANKS GREAT VIDEO
Thanks for the kind words!
Do you believe it's prudent to install disk swap on an SSD? Shouldn't zram be the better choice for swap with SSD and sufficient RAM?
can i install truenas core on a 500GB SSD but only using 32gb or 64gb partition, and make the remaining space as usable pool?
Why i can't connect to my truenas web?
Install but wont boot, no bootable device found???
After it was successfully installed, i pulled out the installer device and it gives me a prompt and then wont let me reboot. Am i ejecting the drive at the wrong time?>
I am having a problem accessing Truenas via a web browser every time I type in the IP address it keeps coming back with "This site can't be reached". I have tried different browsers but they all say the same thing. I know that I am putting the correct IP address in but for some reason it's not working.
Hi Andrew,
Can you make a post detailing the issue on our forums?
www.truenas.com/community/
My only question is will the other drives(not the boot drive) data be wiped as well? I am running an Emby server with 2 drives, one for tv and one for movies
I have a weird problem: after letting the installer run it tried to mount the USB which then fails with error 2. I've looked around in the Forums and tried some stuff (like disabeling XHCI and Fast Boot, using a USB 2.0 USB Stick and downloading the .iso again), but up until now nothing has worked for me. Can anyone help?
Hey I tried to install TrueNAS to my old pc and I struggle to boot it of the SSD I decided to use for TrueNAS. Installing TrueNAS wasn't an issue but getting my system to boot of the dedicated drive is. The SSD drive is work (I ran windows on that just the day before without any issues). Does somebody know a solution to this problem?
where is boot mode u need to have. uefi or Legacy?
Hello hello there thanks for awesome video, is this install is made on a VM thanks so much.
Hey, i got a Z820 workstation dual xeon CPU machine, which somehow won't pick up the USB device. Are such systems not compatible possibly?
I'm just the social media guy! This would be a great question to ask over on our Community Forums (that's where the geniuses hang out). The Community Forum can be found here: www.truenas.com/community/
Some newer BIOS hide USB drives if you don't first boot to Legacy mode, then when you reboot after install, just switch the BIOS back to UEFI, once the OS is on the SSD/HDD.
so this is all happening on the nas machine correct? not using a separate computer? like we have to attach a monitor and the usb to the nas unit?
I want to install True NAS on an unused Laptop HDD and I want to upgrade to a 2TB HDD later and also want to use it for booting and then I want to use this old HDD as a backup drive. Is there any way, I could move the boot Drive?
can I use a single 1 tb hard disk for media server [plex] and another 2 - 4 tb hard disk for data storage? which raid should I use for both ?

Could you also make a tutorial on how to mirror hard drives in case of HDD failure? Will TrueNAS alert you if one of your drives fails?
Hello!
Thank you for the video suggestion, we will look to create a similar video in the future.
TrueNAS will alert you if a drive goes offline. You can also have TrueNAS automatically email you too!

This whole ECC RAM swindle needs to be cleared out. Different sources states different opinions.
i rebooted the system after the install but i was to need Enter a Password i used the one for TrueNas install but it doesent work anytime i also dont get the network IP adress Pls help me! :/
can i make this whole process work in a VM as i want to use both windows and trunas on same machine simultaneously ?
I have 128 GB of memory. Is it possible to load the entire OS in memory once it is booted? It wouldn't be much of a reliabillity problem to run it from a USB stick in that case.
That's what happens when you boot from USB, actually. But USB sticks are tend to fail more than HDDs.
I am looking at building a nas, the case I want is meant for that purpose but is mini-ITX, which I like because of the space saving, except the case has slots for 5 drives, while all of the ITX boards I have seen have only 4. If I want to put in a Sata/PCIe card in at a later date, will I be able to include a 5th drive later and include it in the pool?
When trying to install from USB, I keep getting "Secure boot invalid signature detected. check secure boot policy in setup". I have not had this problem with other OS installs. I found a suggestion in the forum to disable secure boot, but that does not sound good. If my hardware is not compatible, than it would be better to get a message indicating that instead of my BIOS screaming that something is fishy, especially when these days everyone is telling you to be very serious about security...
It’s because you have existing keys from an old OS install. You should only have to delete the existing ones / reset secure boot in BIOS. If that’s not an option, disable it during install and re-enable after install. It’s not an issue with TrueNAS or anything they need to change lol
Do I have to wipe my storage hdd's cuz that's where the info is that I want to keep, store and have access to from anywhere

I had other problems with the computer, I want to install True NAS on and I just realised, that it is not as it should be. It says: "error loading module "config" from file "/boot/lua/config.lua":/boot/lua/config.lua:1: unexpected symbol near". I opened the file on my stick in Notepad ++ and seached for "", but I couldn't find it
Turns out, the HDD is broken
Hello, am i able to run TrueNAS on my old Laptop with 4Gb of ram? It wouldn't bother me, if there are any performance issues, since i'd only use it to store my Documents.
While we cannot recommend it, we have had users run TrueNAS on 4GB systems before.
Although, because 4GB of RAM is below the recommended specifications to run TrueNAS we cannot guarantee stability. If you decide to proceed, proceed with caution and backup frequently.
As always, please follow the 3-2-1 backup rule when storing any data!
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out or ask on our wonderful Forum Community!

Can truenas be installed on rasbbery pi 4b?
Hi, TrueNAS cannot be installed on ARM-based architecture.
Please refer to our Hardware guide below for more information.
www.truenas.com/docs/core/gettingstarted/corehardwareguide/
Thanks. If I have an exiting system running, but now can't recognize the OS flash, Can I make a fresh install while keeping my data as is?
Hi!
This page in the Official Documentation should be able to assist you!
www.truenas.com/docs/core/storage/pools/poolimport/
As always, please make a backup of your data in case of sudden data loss when performing the fresh install.
Can you use on 32bit processor?
I tried RUFUS and I tried BalencaEtcher with a 32GB Kingston Data Traveler Flash Drive to create the installation Media and it dont work booting up on an i5-4960 32GB RAM Sandisk 128GB-SSD and an Asus X87 Deluxe with all settings, and boot orders. I think there is something wrong with the True Nas Core current ISO (TrueNAS-13.0-U2), yes tried MBER and GPT separately and MBR with others. I have more to try but still.
I had problems with rufus - unetbootin worked better for me.
when i download truenas core 13.0-u4 it doesnt download the iso file can anyone help
Hi there,
Please give it another try. If that does not work please try in another browser.
Best,

Thanks for the tutorial! I'm considering building an NAS for my family to replace our Google Drive because we're out of storage. Quick question... Is TrueNas accessible from any computer with wifi, or is it LAN only?
Hello!
As long as the host machine is connected to your LAN you will be able to access the webGUI over WIFI as long as you are on the same network!
will this still work with non server side hardware?
Whenever I boot I get stuck on
ipmi0: using KSC interface
How do I fix this?

Is there a way to install it onto a partition of a disk without erasing the entire disk?
Hello Dakota!
This is not currently possible with the latest version of TrueNAS CORE. TrueNAS runs as an appliance and expects to run on its own device.
@@TrueNAS Thanks for the reply! I guess I’ll be looking into buying or salvaging a smaller drive then.
@@mcculloughdakota Apparently there are ways to do, but it's not so easy. Try googling "truenas install on partition"
Can i access my file trough internet? Or it just work by local internet
Hello!
Accessing your data over the internet is possible with Plugins like NextCloud. Please be aware that exposing your NAS can be dangerous and to take all neccesary precautions.
its asking for a username and password before getting to the console setup

Complete joke software. After installing successfully on a 120GB SSD my password was rejected when I accessed via web browser using the ip given. Using option 7 to reset the password on the server I couldn't type anything at all. Re-installed it again, got the same results. Waste of time.
Hi, Mark. We're really sorry to hear that are having some issues with your first time install.
Can you try making a post on our Forums detailing your issue? www.truenas.com/community/
Let us know if you have any further questions!
@@TrueNAS Sorry for not replying earlier. Been busy with printshop. I tried several times and shared on the forum but couldn't get it resolved. Tried openmediavault on the same system and got my NAS up and running in minutes...
@@TrueNAS Thanks I did that but the issue was bizarre, involving perhaps changing the keyboard..
Anyhow, I tried out openmediavault and that installed in a breeze. I take my hat off to the Linux developers who make Microsoft look like a wooden wheel in a F1 grand prix.
