In this quick tutorial, Jack Wallen shows you how to use container images to deploy and manage applications on TrueNAS.
You may think of TrueNAS as just a NAS, but it can do so much more.
For example, TrueNAS has built-in container management. So you can easily deploy applications and services with traditional container images in seconds. Additionally, once you add a TrueCharts directory, you can deploy a variety of applications and services. Let's see how it was done.

You need to run TrueNAS, which is as simple as installing a Linux operating system.
After that, log into TrueNAS and click Applications.
In the application window, go to the Directory Management tab and click Add Directory.
In the sidebar that appears, type truecharts for the directory name, and then enter https://github.com/truecharts/catalog for the repository.
Click Save.
This will take another 10 to 20 minutes. After that, go back to the "Applications" tab and click on "Available Applications".
Let's install the Focalboard project management tool. Scroll down until you see the Focalboard menu and click Install.
Scroll down in the sidebar that opens and make sure the application is configured according to your needs. After setting up the app, scroll down and click Save. This will install the app.
Go to the "Available Apps" tab and click the "Open" button. A new tab will open for containerized applications.
And everything you need to work with containers on TrueNAS. There is no limit to what you can do on this platform.
