This Guide shows how to create a Cloudflare tunnel and configure the Nextcloud and Cloudflared applications in TrueNAS SCALE. The goal is to allow secure access from anywhere.
Exposing applications to the internet can create security risks. Always follow best practices to secure your applications.
See additional security considerations below.
Review the Nextcloud documentation to get a better understanding of the security implications before proceeding.
Setting Up Cloudflare Cloudflare Tunnel is a system that proxies traffic between the user and the application over the Cloudflare network.
TrueNAS SCALE comes with a pre-built official catalog of over 50 available iXsystems-approved applications.
Users can configure custom apps catalogs if they choose, but iXsystems does not directly support non-official apps in a custom catalog.
TrueNAS uses outbound ports 80/443 to retrieve the TRUENAS catalog. Managing Catalogs Users can manage the catalog from the Catalogs screen. Click Manage Catalogs at the top right side of the Discover screen to open the Catalogs screen.
The SCALE CLI guide is a work in progress! New namespace and command documentation is continually added and maintained, so check back here often to see what is new!
TrueNAS CORE users utilizing the MinIO plugin can migrate to TrueNAS SCALE and keep their existing MinIO buckets and data. This process does not transfer users, groups, access keys, and all other MinIO settings. They must be manually recreated on the new SCALE app deployment.
It is possible to migrate all users, groups, access keys, and all other MinIO settings using the MinIO Client (mc) command line utility, however this requires two independent systems, for example when older hardware is being replaced with a new system.
This article applies to the public release of the S3 MinIO community application in the charts train of the TRUENAS catalog. Community applications are created and maintained by members of the TrueNAS community. Similarly, community members actively maintain application articles in this section. Click Edit Page in the top right corner to propose changes to this article. Manual Update Overview MinIO fails to deploy if you update your version 2022-10-24_1.
SCALE includes the ability to run third-party apps in containers (pods) using Kubernetes settings.
What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and managing containerized applications. Generally, any container that follows the Open Container Initiative specifications can be deployed.
Always read through the documentation page for the application container you are considering installing so that you know all of the settings that you need to configure.
Installed Applications Screen The first time you go to Apps, the Installed applications screen displays an Apps Service Not Configured status on the screen header.
Figure 1: Apps Service Not Configured After setting the pool apps uses, this changes to Apps Service Running.
The Installed applications screen displays Check Available Apps before you install the first application.
Figure 2: Installed Applications Screen No Apps Click Check Available Apps or Discover Apps to open the Discover screen to see application widgets available in the TRUENAS catalog.
Enhancing app security is a multifaceted challenge and there are various effective approaches. We invite community members to share insights on their methods by contributing to the documentation. Securing Apps with VPNs and Zero Trust TrueNAS SCALE offers various applications, either directly provided or via the community. While applications can greatly expand TrueNAS functionality, making them accessible from outside the local network can create security risks that need to be solved.
Community applications are created and maintained by members of the TrueNAS community. Similarly, community members actively maintain application articles in this section. Click Edit Page in the top right corner to propose changes to this article. 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.
