TrueNAS CORE 13 is the end of the FreeBSD version

For the Linux version they dropped Docker support and went all in on Kubernetes via K3S, with a Helm charts repository to make it &quot;easy&quot; to get applications running.<p>This was, in hindsight, a poorly motivated move. Companies that need Kubernetes don&#x27;t want to run it on their NAS, while for smaller shops and enthusiasts the complexity was way too high and limitations too severe.<p>So, they&#x27;ve now finally backtracked, and will go back to Docker Compose and dropping Kubernetes.<p>I had been holding on to the FreeBSD version of TrueNAS due to the complexity and limitations of Kubernetes, running my containers in a VM at quite reduced performance. While I like FreeBSD and ran FreeBSD 3 and 4 on my homelab server back in the days, Linux containers is where it&#x27;s at for this use-case.<p>So I&#x27;m quite happy and excited for this change.
