TrueNAS can be used on a large quantity of network clients, including [[Windows]], [[macOS]] and [[Unix]], and is compatible with [[virtualization]] hosts such as [[XCP-NG]], [[XenServer]] and [[VMware]]. Networking protocols supported by TrueNAS include [[Server Message Block|SMB]], [[Apple Filing Protocol|AFP]], [[Network File System (protocol)|NFS]], [[internet SCSI|iSCSI]], [[OpenSSH|SSH]], [[rsync]] and [[File Transfer Protocol|FTP/TFTP]]. Advanced features include full-disk [[cryptography|encryption]] and a [[plug-in (computing)|plug-in]] architecture for third-party software.<ref name="tomshw1"/><ref name="arctech1"/><ref name="networkw1"/><ref name="lwn1"/><ref name="theregister"/><ref name="computerw1"/>
The TrueNAS range includes free public versions (''TrueNAS CORE'', previously known as '''FreeNAS'''), commercial versions (''TrueNAS Enterprise''), and Linux versions (''TrueNAS SCALE''). It also offers hardware, from small home systems to large [[petabyte]] arrays, based on the above versions.

== Products==
TrueNAS is the brand for iXsystems' open source [[network attached storage]] platform. It includes the following:
:* TrueNAS ''CORE'' (previously FreeNAS) – a free file server and expandable platform based on FreeBSD.
:* TrueNAS ''Enterprise'' – an enterprise file server for commercial use, also based on FreeBSD.
:* TrueNAS ''SCALE'' – a free [[Linux]] based [[Hyper-converged infrastructure|hyper-converged]] scale-out version of the TrueNAS platform.
:* TrueNAS ''hardware'' – Enterprise Storage Arrays, a [[network-attached storage]] (NAS) systems, [[storage area network]] (SAN) devices, and [[High Availability]] systems, with up to 22 petabytes raw capacity.
==User experience==
TrueNAS is managed through a comprehensive web interface that is supplemented by a minimal shell console that handles essential administrative functions. The web interface supports storage pool configuration, user management, sharing configuration and system maintenance. As an [[embedded computer|embedded]] system appliance, TrueNAS boots from a [[USB Flash]] device or [[SATA]] [[Disk on module|DOM]]. This image is configured using a [[USB Flash]] bootable installer. The TrueNAS [[operating system]] is fully independent of its storage disks, allowing its configuration database and encryption keys to be backed up and restored to a fresh installation of the Operating System. This separation also allows for TrueNAS system updates to be performed through the web interface.
==History==
{{tone|date=May 2024}}
The FreeNAS project was started in October 2005 by Olivier Cochard-Labbé who based it on the [[m0n0wall]] embedded firewall and [[FreeBSD|FreeBSD 6.0]]. Volker Theile joined the project in July 2006 and became the project lead in April 2008. In September 2009, the development team concluded that the project, then at release .7, was due for a complete rewrite in order to accommodate modern features such as a [[plug-in (computing)|plug-in]] architecture. Volker Theile decided that the project best be reimplemented using Debian [[Linux]] and shifted his development efforts to the interim CoreNAS project and eventually [[OpenMediaVault]] where he continues as the project lead. Cochard-Labbé responded to community objections to "The Debian version of FreeNAS" and resumed activity in the project and oversaw its transfer to FreeNAS user [[iXsystems]].<ref>{{cite web
The TrueNAS project originated as FreeNAS, created by Olivier Cochard-Labbé in October 2005, based on the [[m0n0wall]] firewall and [[FreeBSD|FreeBSD 6.0]]. The project evolved over time, with Volker Theile joining in 2006 and later leading the project. In 2009, development shifted towards [[Debian]] [[Linux]], resulting in the creation of [[OpenMediaVault]]. Cochard-Labbé returned to oversee the project's transition to [[iXsystems]],<ref>{{cite web

[[iXsystems]] released FreeNAS 8 in 2010, marking a significant rewrite of the software based on FreeBSD 8.1. Subsequent versions introduced features such as full-disk encryption, plug-in architectures, and support for [[OpenZFS]]. TrueNAS continued evolving, with notable later releases including FreeNAS Corral and TrueNAS CORE.
In October 2015, ten years after the original FreeNAS release, FreeNAS 10 ALPHA was released, providing a preview of what would become FreeNAS Corral [[Software release life cycle#General availability .28GA.29|GA]] on March 15, 2017.<ref>{{cite web

However, on April 12, 2017 iXsystems announced that FreeNAS Corral would instead be relegated to being a 'Technology Preview', citing issues such as "general instability, lack of feature parity with 9.10 (Jails, iSCSI, etc), and some users experiencing lower performance than expected"<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/important-announcement-regarding-freenas-corral.53502/|title=Important announcement regarding FreeNAS Corral|work=FreeNAS Community|access-date=2017-04-19|language=en-US}}</ref> and the departure of the project lead. Instead, the decision was made to revert to the existing 9.10 code and bring Corral features to 9.10.3 and further.
=== TrueNAS CORE (previously FreeNAS) version history===
In May 2017, iXsystems announced that FreeNAS 11 would be imminently released, which was based on 9.10 but included features such as an update of the FreeBSD operating system, [[virtual machine]] management, updates to jails, and a new beta user interface along the lines of Corral but based on [[Angular (web framework)|Angular]].

===Architecture===
The 8.0 reimplementation of FreeNAS movedwith version 8.0 transitioned the project fromonto a m0n0BSD/[[m0n0wall]]/[[PHP]]-basednew architecture to one based on [[FreeBSD]]'s NanoBSD embedded build system, the [[Python language|Python]] programming language, the [[Django (web framework)|Django]] web application framework, and the [[dojo toolkit|dōjō toolkit]] ([[JavaScript library]]).<ref>[http://www.freenas.org/blog/ixsystems-freenas-snapshot/ iXsystems'The FreeNAS snapshot - FreeNAS - Open Source Storage Operating System]</ref> It also used the [[lighttpd]]initial web server, but thislighttpd, was later replaced withby [[nginx]] in FreeNASsubsequent 8.2versions. The terminated successor to 9.10.2, known as FreeNAS Corral, retained the [[nginx]] web server and ZFS-based boot device of FreeNAS but replaces the Django/dōjō web application framework with an original one alongside the team at Montage Studios. FreeNAS 11 implemented a new interface using [[Angular (web framework)|Angular]].
==Uses==
* [[Small Office/Home Office|SoHo]], [[small and medium-sized businesses|SMB]] and Enterprise [[File server|file serving]]
* [[Virtualization]] server storage backing (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, PCIe pass-through)
* Media center audio/video serving and streaming to [[Dlna|DLNA]] devices
* Application Services Apps (Helm Charts), Docker Containers, Kubernetes, App Catalogs, GPU Sharing (TrueNAS SCALE)
