I hope this is the right forum for my question. Am I right, that there is no official way of creating custom widgets for TrueNAS (SCALE in my case) ?
Background:
After I have experienced poor support of my previous NAS vendor on several occasions, I decided to build my own custom NAS. I have currently two software options, one already running, the other being TrueNAS, mainly because of its better ZFS integration. Not being able to have custom widgets would however be a drawback.
While custom widgets just generally make a solution more future-proof, one important one for me would be the possibility to display the physical bay layout with disk status. The main question is not if such custom widget already exists, just if there is a documented way to develop such a widget.
I read somewhere that such functionality (not sure if widget or separate page) exists only for iX hardware.
If custom widgets are at all possible I would consider developing one myself. If not, then the decision on moving to TrueNAS would be much harder for me.
