Not sure if you were aware of the recent (last year) drama with a major contributing group to the community apps. TrueCharts I think they were called? I had some truecharts containers and some straight truenas containers. Then TrueCharts ragequit and took down their repo. I ended up reinstalling all those apps manually because for the life of me I still couldn’t get the dumb truenas versions to work. Also, I wasn’t a fan of the pvc (or whatever it was called) storage containers that got used by default. Made eveverything more difficult. My advice is to use the truenas community apps as a learning tool to configure your own properly with the truenas software. I noticed the community apps would seriously take around a minute to restart, but the ones I made manually would takes seconds. Same docker image, never figured out why, maybe a k8s thing?
I only had issues with the latest tag when dealing with the community apps. Some of them would randomly break and I’d have to roll back. Once I manually configured the docker settings using normal file mounts things were plenty stable. I think the issues were with the k8s community charts not with the underlying software. And that was fixed by just configuring it manually like however the dockerhub docs suggest.
I would still have the occasional issue where a container would freeze and a force stop wouldn’t work, and spinning up a new one wouldn’t work because the ports were still used. But I traced that back to a bad ssd with write timeouts. I still think truenas’s k8s wrapper is buggy. Even if a container crashes hard, I shouldn’t have to reboot the system to fix it. I switched to unraid and have been blissfully happy since.
