How do you keep up?
-
on life support thay haven't pulled the plug yet but it is coming. They are not updating anything not urgent and so new hardware support is dead as are jails to do useful things. I'm probably moving to xigmanas in the near future.
-
Yeah pinning is great, you'll still need watchtower for auto updates too
-
Yea for sure, I plan to implement that as well when I have some free time.

I switched away from truecharts once scale switched to native docker and my experience has been much smoother since. TC had some kind of breaking change every other month, now I only have to worry about breaking changes when the actual apps have a major update.
The transition was way easier than i expected. First I set up nginx pointing to the TC load balancer for every url, so I could swap apps one at a time. Then I used heavyscript to mount the volumes for an app and rsynced them to a normal dir. With that I could spin up the community apps version or a custom docker config and swap over nginx once I confirmed it was working.

Currently I run Talos on a VM on scale. I went with Truecharts. The plan for me is to run it on bare metal at some point.

I’m looking at Talos on my Proxmox cluster as VMs. I’m trying to automate it all through ansible and currently stuck trying to bootstrap my secrets manager. Somewhat of an analysis paralysis at the moment. Thinking of using a cloud hosted one with some kind of a local passthrough cache in case the WAN connection gets disrupted.

Thst seems like a good option. Ive got some test beds to try it out on
-
I use Debian stable for my main OS for the stability, security and infrequent updates, and run all of my services in Docker containers to keep everything up to date.
-
That's not even to mention declarative, rootless, podman containers via systemd or quadlet!
NixOS Containers can also be a good option if you don't care about rootless.

Thanks for a lot of useful replies, everyone. Sorry I ghosted my own post for a couple days.
I’m seeing surprisingly few people who actually use it used TrueNAS, so maybe that’s something to consider moving away from. I’ll have to weigh my options.
