TrueNAS Scale Install

TrueCharts​

Portainer​

On TrueNAS Scale ElectricEel and later the use of docker containers is supported. To simplify installation, install a container manager such as Portainer or Dockge from the inbuilt application catalogue. This guide is based on the usage of Portainer. Portainer App Install Portainer UI Open

Generate the contents of docker-compose.yml via Notifiarr/Unpackerr or write this yourself.

In Portainer, navigate to stacks, and add a new stack. Portainer Instance Stacks Section

Name it 'unpackerr' and paste the contents of your previously created docker-compose.yml Stacks List Create Unpackerr Stack

Ensure the details are correct for your TrueNAS instance (i.e. the relevant directory is mapped and the user/group IDs are correct) and then create the stack. Deploy Stack

Portainer will do everything from here. Once done, to confirm it is working open the unpackerr stack and review the logs. You should see any pending files for connected applications being extracted. Log View

TrueNAS Custom App​

There may be a way to install unpackerr directly without the use of a container manager. If you work that out, please edit this page so others can benefit from your tribulations.
