TrueNAS Server Layout

SSH Access

Access the TrueNAS server using the pre-configured SSH alias:

ssh truenas

Authentication is already configured on the host machine.

Directory Structure

Docker Compose Files

All container compose files are located at:

/mnt/performance/home/admin/Develop/nixonomicon/nas/stacks/

This is the source of truth for container configurations, volume mappings, and network settings.

Configuration Files

Container-specific configurations are stored at:

/mnt/performance/docker/

Typically organized as /mnt/performance/docker/<container-name>/.

Data Storage

Large data files (downloads, media, etc.) are stored at:

/mnt/capacity/watch/

Discovering Container Information

List Running Containers

ssh truenas docker ps

Find Container Configuration

To understand a container's volume mappings, networks, and settings:

ssh truenas cat /mnt/performance/home/admin/Develop/nixonomicon/nas/stacks/<container-name>/docker-compose.yml

Common Container Pattern

Most containers follow this structure:

• Config: /mnt/performance/docker/<container-name>/
• Data: Varies by container, check compose file for volume mappings
• Large files: Often mapped to /mnt/capacity/watch/<container-name>/

Working with Containers

Execute Commands in Container

ssh truenas docker exec -i <container-name> <command>

View Container Logs

ssh truenas docker logs <container-name>

Inspect Container Details

ssh truenas docker inspect <container-name>

Examples

Check if anypod container is running

ssh truenas docker ps | grep anypod

View anypod compose configuration

ssh truenas cat /mnt/performance/home/admin/Develop/nixonomicon/nas/stacks/anypod/docker-compose.yml

Access anypod database

# Database is typically at /data/db/anypod.db inside the container
ssh truenas docker exec -i anypod sqlite3 /data/db/anypod.db "SELECT * FROM feed;"
