Hello everyone, iXsystems has recently published their plans for future versions of TrueNAS CORE.

TLDR: TrueNAS CORE is not dying or going away anytime soon.

FYI, this is inaccurate. VM’s transfer over perfectly to KVM on TrueNAS SCALE. Its only Jails and Plugins that need to be re-created, but all the data persists just fine.

In reply to Luke.

Yeah, looks like they won’t which isn’t surprising, I can’t imagine how they could make that happen anyway given how different it works under the hood.

I’m sure there is a way to backup the Plex data I need, just need to look into it. On the plus side I’ll have access to the Intel iGPU on for QuickSync transcode streams.

In reply to Luke. We all new it was coming, a merge of Scale and core should be next. No sense of continuing with 2 versions when the Freebsd version not supported anymore

In reply to Operandi. Your jails will likely not migrate, but there should be a means to set up LXCs in their places. Just backup your existing Plex metadata? You can access the file system of your jails and offload anything elsewhere through the terminal for those jails.

Figured this would happen eventually and I always wondered how wise of decision it was to go with TrueNAS for my home NAS knowing they’d eventually move away from FreeBSD. I read over the Register article but it wasn’t really clear if the Jails will make it over with the migration? I’d hate to loose all my customized Plex metadata…..
