If you are using APFS Case Sensitive File system and trying to use Steam, it will flicker & silently fail or show the following error message:

steam requires that '~/library/application support/steam/steam.appbundle/steam/contents/macos' be on a case-insensitive filesystem.

To fix the issue, follow the instruction here.

Run from your user account, NOT ROOT!

Mount Volumes into Proxmox VMs with Virtio-fs

Part of collection: Hyper-converged Homelab with Proxmox

15-04-2025: Seems Proxmox added this now to the GUI; see Using VirtioFS backed by CephFS for bind mounts how to use it.

Virtio-fs is a shared file system that lets virtual machines access a directory tree on the host. Unlike existing approaches, it is designed to offer local file system semantics and performance. The new virtiofsd-rs Rust daemon Proxmox 8 uses, is receiving the most attention for new feature development.

Performance is very good (while testing, almost the same as on the Proxmox host)

How to acccess TrueNAS kubectl remotely from your local computer?

DISCLAIMER: This is an unofficial guide. If you mess things up then you may lock yourself out of TrueNAS or even worse, make it unusable. There's also no guarantee that this works in the future.

Through SSH

Currently the easiest way to access kubectl is through ssh and k3s tool. If you have ssh access enabled then you can ssh to your TrueNAS server and use it
