TrueNAS will be moving to Docker Compose (away from K3s)


The Future of Electric Eel and Apps There’s been some great progress on Apps in SCALE. Kubernetes (K3S) has been integrated. A catalog system has been built to enable easy web UI management of apps. ZFS has been modified to support Docker OverlayFS to better handle snapshots from containerized applications, and custom Docker containers can be downloaded and run directly via the web UI. However, one thing has been missing until now: Docker Compose scripts cannot be used for importing application...

The automatic migration of TrueNAS Chart apps from K3S to Docker sounds really good - and IMO ixSystems deserve a real plaudit for putting the effort into achieving this. To me it would seem sensible to switch to a matching TrueNAS Chart app if one is available but in many cases the choice now is TrueCharts with a GUI and update support, or Jailmaker/Docker using a command line and manual editing of compose files etc. So this is not that complicated, but definitely significantly more work than requiring every user to either except the default hardcoded Composer.yaml file (which more than likely won’t match e.g. pool names or mount paths etc.)
