The middleware source code for TrueNAS, an open enterprise NAS storage platform built on OpenZFS that provides file, block, and object storage (SMB, NFS, iSCSI, S3). This repository contains the Python backend that powers TrueNAS CORE, SCALE, and Enterprise releases.
Use cases
- set up a self-hosted NAS with ZFS
- share files over SMB and NFS
- serve iSCSI block storage to virtualization hosts
- run an S3-compatible object store
- contribute patches to TrueNAS middleware
- build a backup and archival storage server
When to choose
- you want to run or customize the TrueNAS storage operating system
- you need ZFS-based network-attached storage with SMB/NFS/iSCSI/S3 services
- you want to contribute code to TrueNAS CORE or SCALE
When to avoid
- you just want to deploy TrueNAS as an end user rather than work on its source
- you need a lightweight file server without a full storage appliance platform
- you need a general-purpose Linux distribution rather than a dedicated storage OS
