How to run a node app in TrueNAS Scale

[geethsg7]

I am new to TrueNAS and I struggling to figure out how to run a Node.js app on TrueNAS Scale. I want to run this server so that I can run some cron jobs for my applications.

I am seeking some guidance on how to achieve this.

Maybe this is what you want... https://hub.docker.com/_/node

Thanks, is there any tutorial online on how to install this on scale.

Does Node require any networking ports?

Or you may want to learn about TrueCharts apps (although they don't specifically have a pre-made app/chart for node, they allow running a generic container using the docker-compose app). They have tutorials and a separate help system on Discord. https://truecharts.org

Depends on the app... node itself requires no ports.
