[Home](https://www.truenas.com) › **TrueNAS Apps Made Easy**

It’s been over three years since we introduced the [converged Apps feature of TrueNAS SCALE](https://www.truenas.com/blog/first-release-of-truenas-on-linux/) in February 2022, and deploying powerful applications on TrueNAS became even easier with the [added support for industry-standard Docker powered Apps](https://www.truenas.com/blog/truenas-electric-eel-nightly/) in the TrueNAS 24.10 “Electric Eel” release. With nearly 140,000 deployments in only six months, the marriage of Docker and OpenZFS has been a smash hit with the TrueNAS community.

[TrueNAS 25.04 “Fangtooth”](https://www.truenas.com/blog/truenas-fangtooth-25-04-release/) extends this App support further with configurable IP addresses, similar to the jail/plugin capability of TrueNAS CORE 13.x. Newly added Apps already have the capability, and all existing Apps will enable this functionality by June 1st. Current App users on TrueNAS 24.04 or earlier will need to migrate to TrueNAS 24.10 or later by that date to take advantage of the automated Apps migration process.

Since its release a week ago, TrueNAS 25.04 has shown a rapid uptake, with over 20,000 early adopters – and the number of Apps both available and deployed has increased significantly with the new, easier Docker engine powering them.

With hundreds of easy-to-deploy Apps and thousands more available through advanced deployment, over 80,000 members of the TrueNAS 24.10 community have deployed at least one App, extending  functionality to their system on top of the benefits of data management, performance, and integrity that ZFS provides.

To further support our community, we are introducing a new [TrueNAS Apps Market](https://apps.truenas.com) to help you discover, manage, and customize TrueNAS Apps. This tool automatically updates from the TrueNAS Apps Catalog, ensuring that you have the latest available information on these additional add-on services.

### **There’s an App for That!**

With the new [TrueNAS Apps Market](https://apps.truenas.com) site, finding and customizing Apps has been made even easier. With a listing of top Apps by installation count as well as recent additions, TrueNAS users can explore Apps by category, status as Enterprise, or Community, and even view the raw metadata used to allow advanced users to customize the installation to suit their unique needs.

![TrueNAS Apps Market](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/TrueNAS-Apps-Market-1024x601.png)

Explore the TrueNAS Apps Market from anywhere at apps.truenas.com

With over 50 different Apps from multiple categories actively running on at least  1,000 TrueNAS systems, and our top 10 Apps scoring over 10,000 active installations, the Apps Catalog offers a well-tested method to customize the functionality of your TrueNAS system.

### **Detailed App Datasheets and Customization**

When browsing the catalogs, once you find an interesting app, simply click on it for more details about the community behind it, sample screenshots, the current version available, and additional security capabilities.

See screenshots, version information, and more on detailed App pages.

Some of the additional information available on the detailed App page includes:

- Software version number and date of the last update
- App Home Page for further information
- A badge indicating approximate user count
- Example Screenshots
- List of processes and their UID/GIDs
- Security notes
- App metadata file that describes all user-configurable options
- Links to additional Resources such as deployment guides

### **Getting Started With Apps**

Most new and existing App users should be using TrueNAS 24.10.2.1, the latest version of Electric Eel with robust Docker support and the largest user base of all versions of TrueNAS to date.

Early Adopters have started using TrueNAS 25.04 (Fangtooth), which will be more commonly used by June. We recommend checking the [Software Status page](https://www.truenas.com/software-status/) for advice based on your user profile, as well as [reviewing the docs](https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/25.04/) and the [release notes](https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/25.04/gettingstarted/scalereleasenotes/). No matter which of these versions of TrueNAS you opt for, the [steps to enable Apps](https://www.truenas.com/docs/truenasapps/) and make your first download from the catalog at [apps.truenas.com](https://apps.truenas.com) are the same.
