add instructions for truenas community edition

[seantcanavan]

The latest TrueNAS doesn't provide the easiest way of installing and configuring Unpackerr so I added as many screenshots as possible.

I can't say this is the most optimal way to intall or configure Unpackerr but this is how I ended up doing it. There were multiple unexpected things I ended up debugging like the fact that the container will not error out if there is no /config path. The TrueNAS UI doesn't provide a native configuration option for this either so I had to do a more round-about way of creating and using the correct config.

Also, as far as I understand it, TrueNAS scale is completely deprecated so I replaced the old truenas scale code with my CE directions.

Thanks for this. Did you see #27? Are these instructions for a different OS?

To be honest I didn't see #27 before working on this guide.

TrueNAS recently made some big changes. Scale was renamed to Community Edition.

They previously had two versions - Core and Scale - but those are now combined. The only difference between TrueNAS versions now is licensing to my understanding. There is community edition and enterprise edition now.

The Truenas in the OP of #27 is out of date and they're also using Portainer to deploy. My instructions include how to deploy it natively to TrueNAS CE.

#27 should probably be titled "TrueNAS Scale (Deprecated) - Portainer" or "Portainer - TrueNAS Scale (Deprecated)".

Their PR is dated right before the link I provided above so it makes sense it's out of date.

@davidnewhall any chance either #30 or #29 gets merged? If you want to merge #30 first I can work on merge conflicts and creating a set of instructions for each unique truenas distro. but as it is right now my changes override the full truenas guide.

Go for it. <3

• Run it through mdl too.... https://github.com/Unpackerr/unpackerr.github.io/actions/runs/17085354065/job/48448322925
• And use tinypng.com to compress the images.

Thanks for merging #30

FWIW the instructions are still valid in the current TrueNAS CE release if you choose to use a container manager like Portainer, so it's probably worth adding on the new instructions here in the "TrueNAS Custom App" section at the bottom of the page?

I'm hopeful you two can collab and figure it out. :) Use the discord server if that's an easier place to chat. There's other truenas users in the 'cord too.
