I’m having an issue with installing sanoid on the latest version of TrueNAS scale. If I build from source or install from apt, it wants to uninstall middlewared and a few other important items. I installed it without looking at what it was doing and it broke my install and I had to rollback a snapshot to get it booting again.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
cifs-utils linux-truenas-production-libc-dev middlewared openzfs-libnvpair3 openzfs-libuutil3 openzfs-libzfs4 openzfs-libzpool5 openzfs-zfs-initramfs openzfs-zfs-zed openzfs-zfsutils python3-libzfs python3-midcli truenas truenas-samba zectl
The following NEW packages will be installed:
dkms libnvpair3linux libuutil3linux libzfs4linux libzpool5linux linux-libc-dev sanoid zfs-dkms zfs-zed zfsutils-linux
So what do I need to do to install sanoid on TN without breaking TN?
Remember that you’re going to loose all these customizations when you upgrade TrueNAS - so keep notes/script-snippets of whatever changes you make so that you can quickly get back to your desired special setup on top of TrueNAS after any upgrade in the future.
This should be vanilla, other than activating apt and dpkg (which is disabled by default in TN). I’ve installed Sanoid on TN before, but something changed in this latest version of TN that is making things break.
The weird thing to me is that I’ve installed Sanoid on TN before using apt and building it by following the debian/ubuntu instructions on github and haven’t had problems until 23.10.1, not sure what changed in TN to cause these issues.
I will try what you suggested and report back if it doesn’t work, thanks!
This is the correct answer. Drop the scripts in your path (personally, I use /usr/local/bin, but it’s up to you), chmod them 755, then create /etc/sanoid and dump in sanoid.defaults.conf and sanoid.conf. install the dependencies via apt as already described, and Bob’s your uncle.
For the service and timers, I can get sanoid-prune.service sanoid.service sanoid.timer from sanoid/packages/debian and put them in /etc/systemd/system/ , right?
This seems to have worked, the only thing I had to change from the manual/CentOS instructions on github was ln -s /usr/local/sbin/sanoid /usr/sbin/sanoid so the timer could find sanoid.
Old thread now - but I have been working on an update script.
I’ll put it on github in the next little while probably, but for now, here’s a copy
