Updating our Update Page, Feedback on Apps in June, Remote Access | TrueNAS Tech Talk (T3) E024

In this episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Chris and Kris discuss upcoming changes to the TrueNAS update process, focusing on modernizing the system for recommending software updates based on user profiles, moving away from manual train selection. They detail how the new update manager in GoldEye will allow users to select a profile (early adopter, general, conservative) for their system, influencing update notifications without forcing installations. The hosts also address community feedback regarding the Apps IP Address change coming in June, clarifying that users on Electric Eel will receive an update enabling them to seamlessly update their apps with IP addressing features. Additionally, they explore secure methods for exposing TrueNAS services from behind a firewall, cautioning against direct exposure to the public internet and suggesting solutions like TailScale, NGINX Proxy Manager, and CloudFlare for secure remote access. The episode concludes with a Q&A segment addressing user questions about read-only bind mounts and recursive mounting of datasets into LXC instances, as well as the possibility of creating VMs with encrypted zvols.
