Application maintenance is independent from TrueNAS SCALE version release cycles. This means app version information, features, configuration options, and installation behavior at the time of access might vary from those in documented tutorials.
In TrueNAS 24.04 (Dragonfish), the Apps feature is provided using Kuberenetes. To propose documentation changes to a Kubernetes-based app available in TrueNAS 24.04 (Dragonfish), click Edit Page in the top right corner.
Future versions of TrueNAS, starting with 24.10 (Electric Eel), provide the Apps feature using Docker. To propose documentation changes for a separately versioned Docker-based app, first use the Product and Version dropdowns to switch to the Nightly version Apps documentation, then click Edit Page.
See Updating Content for more guidance on proposing documentation changes.
The TrueNAS community creates and maintains numerous applications intended to expand system functionality far beyond what is typically expected from a NAS.
The TrueNAS catalog is loaded by default and is used to populate the Discover apps screen. To view the catalog settings, select the Manage Catalogs at the top of the Discover apps screen.
Applications are provided “as-is” and can introduce system stability or security issues when installed. Some applications deploy as the root user for initial configuration before operating as a non-root user. Make sure the application is required for your specific use requirements and does not violate your security policies before installation.
