+
+# Purpose & Overview
+
+Network storage operating system managed through web GUI.<br>

+
+TrueNAS SCALE is based on debian linux. ZFS file system is at the core.
+Running nginx and using pythong and django for the web interface.
+
+# My specific use case
+
+My home server runs Esxi.<br>
+TrueNAS is one of the virtual machines,
+with Fujitsu D3307 [flashed in to IT Mode](https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/the-versatile-sas3008-chipset-my-vendor-crossflashing-adventures.28297/page-4#post-319106)
+and pass-through in to the VM so that truenas has direct access to the disk,
+without any in between layer.
+
+I hold strong opinion on backups > raid.<br>
+So I make zero use of zfs raid features and use it just as nice web GUI
+for samba and nfs sharing.
+
+Good alterntive I could have go for is [openmediavault](https://www.openmediavault.org/),
+but truenas seems a bigger player.
