01 - Adding TrueCharts to SCALE

Adding the TrueCharts Community App Catalog is relatively straight forwards.

Requirements
  • Make sure your storage-pool is created and working
  • Make sure you have a working internet connection and can reach github and truecharts.org from the host system.
Adding TrueCharts

When opening the Apps menu item on TrueNAS SCALE for the first time, you get prompted to setup a new pool for Apps. This will create a new dataset on the selected pool called "ix-applications", which will contain all docker containers and most application data, unless specified otherwise.

  • Go to "Apps" in the left hand menu

  • Select the "Manage Catalogs" tab

  • Click "Add Catalog" and enter the required information:

  • Name: truecharts

  • Repository: https://github.com/truecharts/catalog

  • Preferred Trains: stable and core

  • Branch: main

Difference between Stable and Incubator

TrueCharts has multiple "trains": All trains contain Apps that should work fine. However they have a slightly different meaning:

  • stable contains most of our Apps. These are considered stable and working.
  • core contains important Apps that are used to supply features like "ingress" or advanced networking to our Apps.
  • games contains game servers
  • dependency contains apps that are mostly used as dependecies. This train is not supported, besides from bug fixes.
  • incubator These Apps are still in development and/or are not considered to be of high-enough quality.
