TrueNAS AppsTrueNAS Apps: Tutorials
Application maintenance is independent from TrueNAS version release cycles.
App versions, features, options, and installation behavior at time of access might vary from documented tutorials and UI reference.

Community Apps

The TrueNAS community creates and maintains numerous applications intended to expand system functionality far beyond what is typically expected from a NAS.

By default, the TrueNAS application catalog includes the stable train. To see community-maintained applications on the Discover screen, you must add the train.

To view the community apps, from the Installed application screen, click Settings and then Train Settings. Select the community checkbox on the Train Settings screen and click Save. Go to the Discover screen and click Refresh Catalog, to the right of the search field.

For more information on adding to or changing the train for the apps catalog, see Managing App Trains.

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 changing to operate 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.

The tutorials in this section are for commonly used community-maintained applications. Some apps in this section replace deprecated services or functionality previously built into TrueNAS SCALE.
