jonp Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Hi all, Big news! I’m spending this weekend reviewing the preview build for our Q2 update (final sanity and bug checks). Did a cursory preview today with the team and they really knocked it out of the park! Next week this update will be live along with the ability to natively update the OS to 24.10.2.2 and we will also be publishing a new ISO for this build as well. Expect a blog with even more info. Just wanted to share this exciting news with everyone! I have a busy weekend ahead of me…. 26 7
Todd Miller Posted June 21 Posted June 21 When this update goes live will I need to reinstall from the ISO? Or is this going to be closer to when Tailscale has an update? Or have I blown this out of proportion and I don't really have to do anything?

When the update is out you’ll just see it when you login to deck. The OS update can then be applied from within the deck and all it will require when done is a restart of the server. 7
jonp Posted June 23 Author Posted June 23 Weekend testing went great! Documented a handful of bugs/issues that the team is actively squashing this week. Still hoping to publish the release by Friday, but we reserve the right to postpone till Monday if necessary. Here's a sneak peak at pool customization (drive selection) in the wizard: You'll notice in the background next to the "Continue" button that we have the option to "Skip" now! This will let users get into the dashboard without configuring any storage pools. This will enable the ability to adopt existing pools from TrueNAS SCALE itself (and other platforms). 9 4

Does this also mean we will be able to use single-drive pools?

This one is also very nice!

Does this mean I can just use my current TrueNAS pool if its fully updated? or is it limited to a certain version?

Was waiting for this and also TrueNas 25.10 I think before I finally start making a server. Now I just gotta remember why I was waiting for 25.10 lol 2

The screenshots and explanations of them is a great way to keep us updated without prematurely releasing an update. Much appreciated! More of this moving forward please.

dinoj Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Oh sick, I haven't gotten enough drives to fully build my home server, so I'm rocking a single HDD for now. Cool to see that now it will function properly

Cool to see that now it will function properly to clarify you still need 2 drives at the minimum to do things 1: os/boot drive 2: storage drive 2
