Looking for documentation on creating Apps

[simdim]

Hi All,
I have a couple of node.js applications that I want to move from running on VM in proxmox into TrueNAS app. They are made into docker containers already but how do I integrate them into ecosystem (with config screen etc)?

Hey @simdim

Glad to see that you'd like to help us out with developing some Apps for TrueNAS SCALE!

SCALE uses Helm charts to provision its applications - we have some reference material on the TrueNAS-specific changes needed on our Github site here:

GitHub - truenas/charts: TrueNAS SCALE Apps Catalogs & Charts

TrueNAS SCALE Apps Catalogs & Charts. Contribute to truenas/charts development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Developing Helm Charts themselves isn't covered here, but rather in the official Helm developer reference:

Chart Template Guide

Helm - The Kubernetes Package Manager.

helm.sh

Cheers!

In the TrueNAS web interface, navigate to the "Apps" section and search for the TrueNAS App that allows you to manage Docker containers. Install and enable the app.

What app would that be?

Hello @simdim ,

This is not what you asked for, but have you seen this part of the docs?

Using Install Custom App

Provides information on using Install Custom App to configure custom or third-party applications in TrueNAS SCALE.

www.truenas.com

The above is a link on how to add your own app to TrueNAS scale. I don't think you can share the resulting app, but if nothing else, it will help you validate if you app works properly within TrueNAS without needing to learn Kubernetes+Helm charts. (At least, that's my impression of the docs).
