You now need to get to the command line prompt of your VM. Whatever you pick, make sure it is a standard resolution and remember it as we will need it later. Finally edit the resolution to something you would like to use normally. Now click edit on the VNC device and uncheck the “Delay VM Boot Until VNC Connects”. As far as I can tell the only way to do this, is to navigate to the “Devices” tab under your VM in TrueNAS and delete the CDROM device. Once the install completes, it will tell you to remove the install disk and restart. I would deselect the “Print Server” as well. It is critical that you also check “OpenSSH Server” in the installer. I recommend using a light GUI like either XFCE or LXDE. When prompted quickly select the “Limited Graphical” installer. Then connect using the built in VNC display. This is critical or you will see a scrambled mess when you boot into the VM. Makes sure to leave the network settings to allow the VM to have it’s own IP address, and select and upload the Install CD for your distro (assuming Debian from now on).īefore you start the VM, click on it, go to “Devices”, and then click “Edit” on the VNC device. The rest of the setup should be pretty straight forward. What follows is how I got it working in my environment. Another issue is that CrashPlan Pro basically made GUI a requirement (again probably to prevent people from doing what I am trying to do). First Crashplan long ago dropped any semblance of support and compatibility with FreeBSD this is likely at least partially to make it harder to do exactly what I want to do and also a consequence of the CrashPlan Pro service moving away from Java to Electron. Unfortunately, CrashPlan has not been supported for a long time, and I could not find a good guide to setting this up, so I made my own…Ĭrashplan is not supported for a variety of reasons. Most of this stuff was easy to transition to TrueNAS. However, my current NAS solution was a custom Debian server, with OpenZFS on Linux, CrashPlan Pro, Plex, Syncthing, and various monitoring scripts to scrub the ZFS tank, monitor my UPS, and send me phone alerts. I recently wanted to update my NAS to use TrueNAS as it has come a long way from the old days of FreeNAS. Setting up TrueNAS with Crashplan Pro Backup
