I have setup Trilium in a docker container using the latest version.

services:
  trilium:
    image: triliumnext/notes:latest
    container_name: trilium-notes
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 8081:8080
    environment:
      - TRILIUM_DATA_DIR=/home/node/trilium-data
      - USER_UID=568
      - USER_GID=568
    volumes:
      - ./trilium-data:/home/node/trilium-data

And then installed the latest Windows version off the Trilium website. But when I try to connect my desktop client to the server it says local version is 39 and the docker verison is 36.

Has anyone run into this before?

I have been selfhosting for a little while now and recently built a from scratch TrueNAS server. I have family and friends (most are not technical) that are asking for access to some of my services, like Mealie, Immich, Plex (Yes I have a Lifetime Premium), ect. I really dont want to open my local firewall to the world and keeping up with services like Tailscale is to much for the technically challenged, like my parents. So I am considering tossing a VPS into the mix, but I have some questions.

• First, any recommendations on a service? Looking at Ionos right now
• I would like to move some services to the VPS, like Mealie, and yet just use the VPS as a passthrough to other services that are hosted on my local network, like Plex or Immich. I assume thats not an issue?
• If I start with the smallest plan and host something like Mealie can I scale up and back down as needed without reinstalling other services? For example, I want to spin up a game server for a month. Can I move up to a higher plan with something like 16 or 32 GB RAM, and then drop back down to a 4GB plan the following without impacting Mealie and my pass-through apps?
• For the connection between my local network and the VPS, is WireGuard or something like Pangolin the best option?

I would love some details on what you all are doing, if your doing something similar. I want to provide a good service to my users, but I also want to ensure the security of my home network and data. Thanks!!

I am trying to disable signup on my TrueNas app, which looks simple enough

I created a temp dataset on a smaller storage pool and moved all my data to it. I have now added my permanent disks and created the new pool and datasets. Previously it was suggested to use a Replication Task to move the data between the old and new datasets, which I did do. Storage stats show that there is just over 3TiB used

But the directory shows shows zero files

The replication task looks good to me. What am I missing?

Coming from Windows I have always used FanControl to help get my fans under control. All of the fans are PWM and directly connected to my motherboard headers. Is BIOS the best option?

I was looking at CoolerController, but I dont see my case fans listed, only my GPU fans.

I created a rsync task to sync to an older Synology for backup testing. The task copied over data, but I still get a Failed notification in TrueNAS. In case it matters I am trying to backup my app/docker config directory.

I have tried looking in all the normal log locations for additional details, but cant seem to come up with anything. I have checked:

/var/log/messages
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/cron.log

I am trying to understand app config folder permissions. I prefer compose files when it comes to my containers. So when I saw Techno Tims video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPL7_tzsJO8&t=168s ) I though it was the best of both worlds. But the permissions are throwing me off, so I am just spinning my tires. In the video he takes ownership of the dataset from root to truenas_admin. But every other video and post I see only every talks about the apps user. Is it just two ways of doing the same thing, where the apps user is just for using the build in apps store?

How do I properly set permissions on my "configs" dataset and sub-datasets so I can use the compose file method mentioned in the video, but still give myself the option to use the built in app store?

Sorry for the newbie question, but I have a media share that I want to give access to some apps, like jellyfin/plex, and I also want to be able to SMB mount the media share on other devices. How do I apply the Apps and the SMB preset?

I should have the final parts of my new TrueNAS build today. So my question is how to best migrate my disks from my existing Synology NAS.

• Synology has 3 x 8TB, about 3.9TB is being used.
• I also have 3 x 4TB drives that are being used as backups in a really old Synology that will be retired.

My case is a Node 804, so I have 8 drive slots (yes I know there's actually more). Anyway my thought was to pull the 4TB drives and create my initial RaidZ1, copy the data over from the Synology and then replace the 4TB drives with the 8TB drives.

So my question is it best to swap the disks in one be one and wait to re-silver or connect all the 8TB drives in a new RaidZ1 and migrate the data?

I was hoping to get some eyes on my build before I start purchasing hardware. To make sure I am not missing some incompatibility or something.

My goal with the build is to replace my existing Synology NAS and get a little more compute for apps. Maybe down the road replace my physical Plex server

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT
• Mobo: ASRock B550M PRO4
• 32 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 (2x16) (Already have and not being used)
• vDev1: 4 - 8TB Iron Wolfs (From existing NAS)
• vDev2: 4 - 4TB Iron Wolfs (Already have and not being used)
• HBA: LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i w/ Mini SAS to 4 SATA cable
• Case: Fractal Design Node 804

The following i havent picked out yet, just waiting to see what I find on sale or at Microcenter

• ~128GB Boot Drive
• ~1TB App Drive (Maybe in a Raid 1)
• CPU cooler, but may stick with the one out of the box until some good deal pops up
• Additional case fans once I see how its doing with what I have on hand
• 650 Bronze power supply

Since the Mobo has 2 full length PCIE slots I should have room for the HBA and then the option to add a Intel Arc A310 and maybe a faster NIC down the road.

How does all that sound? Any issues or suggestions?

I have an existing Proxmox server that I am running into limitations. Its running a Mini ITX, so it only has 2 DIMM slots and its in a SFF case has no room for drives. Also my there are no free slots on my Synology NAS.

So my thought was to salvage as much hardware as possible from both and rebuild using TrueNAS.

Current hardware

• AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (Proxmox)
• 32 GB of memory - 2x16GB (Proxmox)
• 32 GB of memory - 2x16GB (Not being used)
• 256GB M.2 SSD (Proxmox) - Repurpose into TrueNAS OS
• 1TB SSD (Proxmox) - Repurpose into TrueNAS App
• Radeon RX 5600 (Proxmox - Pass-through for Plex transcoding)
• 4 - 8TB Ironwolf (Synology)

My current Proxmox workload is really small. PiHole LXC, a couple Ubuntu VMs w/ Docker running Plex, Arr and other small containers.

So assuming I need a new motherboard (and case), so I can use all 4 DIMMs, should I stick with my current AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or move to an Intel CPU? Sticking with the current CPU would mean keeping the GPU for transcoding. Which is fine, just more power consumption.

Motherboard recommendations would also be appreciated. I want this to be as stable as possible, so im ok paying more for something newer.

I have a show where the last half of the season is off by one episode. For example, S03E11 is actually S03E10. The video is correct, but the file name and how its showing up in Plex is not.

Do I just update the file name on all of them one by one or is there a better way?

I have a Synology NAS that I recently swapped out my 4TB (x3) with 8TB (x3) drives. Well I think its time for me to move on from Synology, so I am starting to plan out a Truenas build.

According to a RaidZ1 calculator the 4Tb drives should be about 7TB usable, which is enough to hold everything. So my thought was to build the initial pool with the three 4TB drives, copy data over from the Synology, and then move the 8TB drives.

My confusion is where to add the 8TB drives:

• Do I add them to the same pool as another RaidZ1 or create a new pool and new RaidZ1? This is assuming I plan to move the 4TB drives back to my Synology to use as backup
• How do I make sure the data is no longer on the 4TB drives so I can remove them?

A couple additional questions:

• Lets say 2 years down the road I want to expand capacity. I need to another 8TB drive if I wanted to add to the same RaidZ1 or I would need three new drives of a different size to make a new RaidZ1. Multiple RaidZ1's in the same pool does not waste space if one has larger disks than the other, correct? The are just added together.
• Whats a good max number of disks to have in each vdev? From what I learned having everything in a single vdev slows things down the more disks you have.

Anyone just run a poxy on-prem that ships to a cloud instance of Zabbix? We had an issue where our current Zabbix server couldn't route out to send notifications, and missed some critical issues. But I was tossing around the idea of hosting Zabbix externally so if our proxys stop sending data for a similar issue we can still get notifications that something is going on.

We have a 1920's slat & plaster house and I am trying to replace the bathroom light with a light vent combo. The issue I am running into is that I cant find a housing that fits the existing 9x9 hole and I am very hesitant to cut the hole bigger. Is there any other options?

Can I use something like this, where the hole is slightly smaller than the housing? What about a housing that's smaller than the hole?

My non-technical aging parents were paying ATT $165/month for 2Mbs internet and a house phone. So I plan to move them to TMo home internet. But I need a solution for the house phone.

They have a cell phones, but its not attached at the hip and often gets left downstairs at night or in the car. I need a house phone or something for them mainly for emergencies. My dad just wants to port the home number to his cell as a second number, but that does not help if one of them needs to call 911.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm trying to test if transcoding is working. Is there a way to force it to not do Direct Stream?

Update: I figured out that I can pick a lower quality on the client and it changes to Transcode, but looks like its not using my GPU as my CPU is capped

From what I can tell Ubuntu can see my GPU, but I dont think its properly working. Within Proxmox I added the PCI device.

After that Ubuntu started throwing "amdgpu psp load smu failed" errors, so I assumed it was seeing the card and needed drivers. So I downloaded the latest drivers form AMD https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/25.35.1/ubuntu/noble/amdgpu-install_7.2.1.70201-1_all.deb

The errors are no longer showing, but if I try and locate the GPU with "ll /dev/dri/", I should see something like "Renderer", correct?

How do I validate that the GPU is properly working?

I have a couple Docker servers running different flavors of Linux that i want to combine into a single host. I have a dashboard, Plex and *arr stack that I dont want to reconfigure from scratch.

Assuming I have all my existing file shares mounted, I should be able to just move the root Docker directory and run "docker compose pull && docker compose up -d" on the new server, right? Or is there something I am missing?

I have a few VLANs setup for isolation (Trusted, IoT, Guest, Lab, ect). But I am struggling with where to put a service like PiHole thats a shared service across multiple VLANs. I dont want the IoT and Guest network reaching into Trusted to get DNS resolution.

Where do you all put shared services?
