Share and multi user in share

[ilsaul]

Hi to all,
I'm very new, I search for my problem but maybe I don't know to search correctly.

I installed last TrueNas without any problem and I have 2TB of space.
I have a Linux computer on which I have docker installed, and on top of docker I have installed gitlab.
i want to put all data of gitlab on a share on truenas.
But gitlab is made up of a lot of software, and each software uses a different user to store the data.

- I can't use NFS because I can't use chown.
- I can't use SMB because gitlab goes crazy on update

Is there another smarter way to share?

Thanks you
Saul

Perhaps you're effectively saying you want iSCSI...

Mount the target on the Linux computer as a disk, then it acts like a local disk in the Linux computer from there... permissions are none of the TrueNAS box's business.

You would need to consider connectivity and depending on the IO load, maybe SLOG if you have high demands on write performance (iSCSI will be demanding sync writes).

Hi,
If I had another HD I would connect it directly without having problems but I don't have it. Can iSCSI use TrueNAS internal storage?
There is a plugin for OpenIO, GlusterFS, Swift (OpenStack), etc? (virtual FS)

Thank you
Saul

You create a zvol on an existing pool (so yes to your question), then you share that with iSCSI as a target.

Gluster is available on SCALE.
