TrueNAS Tech Talk episode 28, drama is circulating in the open source and self-hosted over some changes, but Kris and Chris are happy that the latest TrueNAS 25.04.1 release isn’t among it.

T3 Tech Talk Ep.27: Drop Dragonfish, Goldeye Instances Insights, a Quartet of Questions
TrueNAS Tech Talk Ep.27, Kris and Chris ask “Have you updated your system yet?” The Apps IP Addressing update is going live in a little over a week on June 2nd, so make sure you’re ready with TrueNAS 24.10.2.2 “Electric Eel” or 25.04 “Fangtooth” – if you’re still on 24.04 “Dragonfish” it’s time to make the jump to Docker before the automatic Apps migration window closes. They’ll also discuss some of the major enhancements coming to the Instances page in the fall release “Goldeye”, show off the new Apps and API microsites, tease an upcoming TrueNAS native Incus storage driver, and handle a quartet of questions from boot devices to file browsers.
