Relaunched: Our Helm Repository

Kjeld Schouten
Kjeld Schouten
Maintainer & Founder of TrueCharts

We’re is excited to announce that our native Helm Charts are back in action!

After disabling the release of our Helm Charts to our Helm Repository at the end of last year, we received numerous reports of users being impacted by the decision.

We understand the importance of our Helm Charts and how they help users manage their applications on k8s, so we took the time to rethink our approach and create separate pipelines for our SCALE Apps and native Helm Charts. This means that decisions regarding one of them will no longer impact the other.

While our primary target is still TrueNAS SCALE, we do accept enhancement requests and bug reports that only affect native Helm users. In the future, we hope to have a separate maintainer for native Helm-specific issues, but for now, please understand enhancements and bugs that do not affect TrueNAS SCALE are less of a priority unless very severe.

We are also excited to announce the release of our completely rebuilt common chart next month, which will come with state-of-the-art testing and templating. This will empower users, both within and outside of TrueNAS SCALE, to manage their applications with ease. Be sure to check it out when it’s ready!

In conclusion, we are proud to bring back native Helm Charts to our users, and we hope that this will make managing applications on k8s a seamless and enjoyable experience for all.

As Linus TechTips recently discovered, Jellyfin is a fantastic solution for watching your media from anywhere and our app makes it incredibly easy to install on TrueNAS SCALE.

With the popularity of Jellyfin on the rise, iX-Systems has put together a great guide for setting it up on TrueNAS SCALE using our TrueCharts App. The guide provides step-by-step instructions for getting started with Jellyfin, making it simple for anyone to enjoy their media collection from anywhere. The guide can be found here

At TrueCharts, we are big supporters of open-source software, and believe it is essential to the continued growth and advancement of technology. Jellyfin is no exception, and we encourage users to contribute to the Jellyfin project by visiting their Github repository or donating to their cause through their Open Collective.

The same goes for TrueCharts. Open-source projects like TrueCharts can only survive with the support of its users. If you would like to show your support for TrueCharts, you can donate to our project through Patreon or through our website

Traefik, Prometheus and Grafana moved to Enterprise Train

We’re started the process of moving some more of the core parts of TrueCharts to our Enterprise train. These Apps are important for most of our users and should get the priority treatment the Enterprise Train is known for. This also means users would be required to reinstall these Apps and they will not be available in the stable train anymore. We’re sorry for the added inconvenience, but we’re quite certain that this choice is going to serve our users best in the long term.

Our plans for the Enterprise train are still going strong:

When we deem TrueNAS SCALE Apps “ready for production use”, the Enterprise train will come with Paid support and much additional documentation for each of its Apps. Until that time, it will still be “just another train” and will contain Apps that are very important to the TrueCharts project as a whole.
