TrueNAS
TrueNAS is the OS on the Ugreen DXP 8800 Plus. It replaced Synology DSM. The old hostname dsm.saxobroko.com still works and points here.
How to access
| Where | URL |
|---|---|
| Public (via tunnel) | dsm.saxobroko.com |
| LAN | https://192.168.2.203 |
Log in with your TrueNAS admin credentials. Same login works across TrueNAS apps where applicable.
What I use it for
- Storage — media, photos, backups (RAIDZ1 pool, 7×16 TB today, 8×16 TB soon)
- Apps — Docker containers for Jellyfin, Navidrome, Homepage, *arr stack, etc. See Services
- SMB shares — Windows maps network drives from here. See Windows network drive

Check Storage in the TrueNAS UI for live capacity, scrubs, and drive health.
Installing an app
Most services run as Docker apps on TrueNAS:
- Open TrueNAS web UI
- Go to Apps (or Docker depending on UI version)
- Install or configure the app
- Expose it on the LAN, then add a tunnel hostname in Cloudflare if you want it public
Shared folders
Media for Jellyfin lives on a share mapped on Windows as A:/Media (or \\truenas\Media — exact share name may vary). Subfolders:
Shows/— TVMovies/— films
Naming rules: Adding media
Migration notes (Synology → TrueNAS)
- Hostname
Morpheusanddsm.saxobroko.comare legacy names from the Synology era - Synology Photos content was migrated;
photos.saxobroko.comnow points at the TrueNAS photos app - Old Synology-specific docs are kept in Server overview for history only
