So I recently put togheter a NAS and now I’m trying to learn to use it. I got a few questions if anyone can point me to some documentation or tutorial:

  • Can I set up more users to access the same SMB folder?
  • How to set up the current version of Jellyfin?
  • How to remote access Nextcloud?

If anyone runs into similar problems:

  • Jellyfin -> if kubernets gives “back off restarting …” it most likely is a missconfiguration, what worked for me was enabling automatic permission to the folder with movies and music to 777 recursively (not secure but I haven’t tried other permission yet
  • to access all apps: I just used tailscale and added in app configuration route 192.168.1.0/24 and now it works flawlessly

Thank you everyone for replies

    I’m a bit confused by your question about Jellyfin in a Nextcloud post, but whatever xD

    There’s is no way to install a specific version of an app on Scale, you can only install the latest version. That applies to both the official charts as well as TrueCharts. You can however refuse to update to newer versions if you feel like it.
    Keep in mind that if you decide to update later on, you can only update to the current latest version again.

    Alternatively, you can set up the app “manually”, by going to “Discover apps” and then clicking the “Custom app” button. That allows you to use any docker image with any tag that you want. I’ve used it to set up an unstable/beta version of Jellyfin, and some more test servers.

    I think there’s also a docker-compose app for TrueCharts that lets you point to a compose test file using host path, but that is not needed for Jellyfin.

    Let me know if you have more questions!

      Well I have a problem where Jellyfin stops working after I restart the NAS. Guess I had more questions and forgot to change the title. Have you got any idea how to connect from outside home network to Nextcloud?

        VPN, Tailscale Funnel or Cloudflare Tunnel? ZeroTier should also work.

        In what way does Jellyfin stop working? Does it not start at all?

          Okay so the problem was that I forgot to give permission to the folder and it would just crash St start. I have installed tailscale and configured it as an exit node but for some reason I can’t configure route. Everytime I enter one tailscale doesn’t start unless I remove routes. I have it as exit node but it still doesn’t work

            You don’t need to use it as an exit node. But yes, running tailscale in a container can be problematic for accessing some apps. You should give this thread a read: https://github.com/truenas/charts/issues/2201

            It offers some explanations on what might be going on. I have tailscale set up on a different device (raspberry pi), and it’s working as a “subnet router”, meaning I can access all of my local subnet when I’m connected.
