Not a recommendation, there probably is or will be a better place to follow it at some point. But, if you want all the docs development notifications, it's open source! So you can follow the progress here

In terms of being "correct" even. I use domain names on my network, so the IP address doesn't have the cached credentials. But to PsychoWards point,I think it makes sense to use from a discoverability point of view. You can't google your local network if you don't remember the exact address.

I hope that one day we'll see GPU virtualisation not relegated to datacenters, maybe if Intel makes a card worth splitting up. I've looked into the software side and there are too many competing ideas that all require a lot of maintainers by the looks of it so I'm doubtful of long-term support.

I've seen ICY Dock show up before, so this is an example of what to look for. https://global.icydock.com/product_329.html

All I've heard is that USB components in general aren't built for sustained load, and may burnout and die, on USB drives specifically, the flash memory might die too. One dude said he had a graveyard pile of dead USB adaptors from when he thought he knew better. But it'll otherwise work for some undetermined amount of time until then. In data enters they use a cable that carries something like PCIe from the compute to a separate box with just a bunch of drives (JBOD) So your idea is fine just not USB,, I'm not sure what's specifically available at a reasonable price though.

I'll add if you have a m.2 NVMe or normal PCIe there are cards that will divide it into multiple NVMe/SATA etc, but at a divided bandwidth in case you demand the utmost speed. I think people call them HBA cards.

I was reading a TrueNAS forum post the other day, and the problem seemed to be that most USB to X adapters aren't built for the kind of load that these NAS operating systems have, so they tend to burn out and die more often than not. The other potential problem with that scenario would be the multi-disk aspect; depending on how it's designed, it might only show up in the OS as one drive rather than 4-5.

I would love the ability to set up a temporary virtual machine to test a proposed change before running it on the real deal. The specific use case that came to mind was that I wanted to migrate Immich manually, like in the topic. But firstly wanted to: understand what a clean install of Immich would look like in terms of the TrueNAS config. Do a dummy run in the VM to run into any issues there. I realise this kind of feature probably would come after subscription licensing or similar. But even if it were some sort of nuclear auto unclaimed after a period option that would work for me.

I am running a handful of Apps/VMs on my system that I want to easily share with my family and allow some modifications, like starting their VM. In its simplest terms, this could be a portal with all the available apps shown and redirect to their respective port instead of having to manage URLs with different ports currently. The current dashboard would likely be good enough if additional local users could have a login. The next obvious can of worms would be user management, one login for all "supported" apps and SMB? Disallow destructive tasks?

For completeness, at least in Australia, the remote UI is very slow, which is another reason for this. I understand a remote-hosted server will always be necessary for some of the niceties of "just works" (HTTPS certificates/Servers through firewalls). But it would be good if it could hand off in some cases to a peer connection, like with WebRTC ICE.
