iXsystems is pleased to release TrueNAS 24.10.0! This is the first stable release of TrueNAS SCALE 24.10 (Electric Eel). It includes numerous software component updates and polished features, as well as fixes for issues discovered in 24.10-RC.1 and 24.10-RC.2.

Features

24.10 (Electric Eel) brings many new features and improvements to the TrueNAS experience:

• The TrueNAS Apps feature backend moves from Kubernetes to Docker to streamline App deployment and management (announcement). Custom App deployment of Docker images is available via a guided wizard or a Compose YAML file.
• Extend a RAIDZ vdev with individual disks (OpenZFS feature sponsored by iXsystems).
• New TrueCloud Backup Tasks with streamlined functionality for Storj iX cloud backups and restoration.
• New global search for finding pages and settings in the TrueNAS UI.
• Dashboard reworked with more widgets, data reporting, and customization.
• UI support for NVMe S.M.A.R.T. tests.
• Align Enclosure Management code with 13.3 and improve feature performance.
• Preserve SMB alternate data streams when ingesting data from remote servers.
• Rewrite TrueNAS installer to better support future development efforts.
• Polish UI table presentation and integrate with global search (NAS-127222).
• Replace nslcd with sssd to improve Kerberos, NFS, and SMB support in non-AD environments (NAS-127073).
• Generate a unique system ID for each install (NAS-123519).
• ZFS Fast Deduplication (OpenZFS feature sponsored by iXsystems): This feature is partially present in TrueNAS, but is considered experimental and disabled by default in 24.10. Full UI integration is anticipated in a future TrueNAS release (NAS-127088).

Notable changes from RC.2:

• TrueCloud Backup Tasks (NAS-127165).
• Replace nslcd with sssd (NAS-127073).
• Dashboard Improvements (NAS-127217).
• UI Table Improvements (NAS-127222).
• UI Global Search (NAS-127224).
• Rewrite enclosure plugin in 24.10 to match performance improvements in 13.3 (NAS-123474).
• Prevent phantom partitions that TrueNAS erroneously reported as disconnected pools (NAS-131171).
• Revised Docker networking logic for applications (NAS-131617).
• Enable editing of custom YAML applications (NAS-131147).
• Prevent the TrueNAS UI from sending an improper payload for the Outboard Activity option when re-saving an edit to global network settings (NAS-131787).
• When moving from an existing applications pool to a new pool, TrueNAS does not present the option to Migrate applications to the new pool because the underlying functionality is not present in the new Docker apps framework (NAS-131610). Users who need to redeploy the applications pool can either choose to leave existing applications on the previous location, remove existing applications and reinstall on the new pool, or manually relocate and clean up data.
• Documentation Hub Update: To reflect the continuing process of application maintenance and updates as separate from TrueNAS major version releases, all application Tutorials are moved from the Tutorials section in TrueNAS version documentation to a dedicated and unversioned TrueNAS Apps section.Community contributions to TrueNAS Apps documentation are highly encouraged! The Community Apps documentation is pre-populated with placeholder templates for each application available in the TrueNAS Community train and ready to accept Pull Requests. See Contributing to TrueNAS Application Documentation for more information.
