Software Releases
5 minute read.
CORE™ | Enterprise™
Each listed release links to download files for that release. For the latest deployment and update recommendations from iXsystems, see the Software Status page.
Bug tickets are typically accepted for the latest release of the current stable version. Nightly builds also accept feedback and bug tickets.
Nightly builds are automatically published when automated testing passes. .iso files are available to fresh install on disposable hardware or a virtual machine.
.update files are also available for manually updating an existing experimental system to a nightly build.
Your testing and feedback is always welcome! TrueNAS nightlies have an option in the top panel to submit feedback directly to the development team. Let us know what is working well and what can be improved!
Legacy TrueNAS versions are provided for historical context and upgrade pathways. They are provided “as-is” and typically do not receive further maintenance releases. Individual releases are within each major version.
Legacy releases can only be used by downloading the .iso file and freshly installing to the hardware.
This website is a repository of all documentation for TrueNAS projects and related products. iXsystems employees maintain this documentation and provide regular updates for current and in development (future) versions of TrueNAS software. For documentation purposes, current and future releases are those recommended by the TrueNAS Software Status page for one or more user type.
Documentation for previous releases, that are no longer recommended for any user type, is archived and unmaintained. See the Documentation Archive for content related to these releases.
The chart below shows recommended paths for upgrading from earlier TrueNAS versions.
Update the system to the latest maintenance release of the installed major version before attempting to upgrade to a new major version.
Permitted upgrade methods are:
- update: apply an automatic update using the Update screen in the TrueNAS UI or install a manual update file. Some upgrade paths do not support these options (see chart).
- ISO install: save a current TrueNAS configuration file, perform a fresh install using an
.iso file for the target version, and then upload the previously saved configuration.
Users can skip major versions with a fresh ISO install followed by a configuration file upload. Carefully review release notes for each skipped major version before upgrading, noting any service deprecations or significant changes that impact the previous configuration. Consider stopping at major versions with significant impacts to address changes before continuing the upgrade path or be prepared to manually reconfigure incompatibilities on the latest target version.
