ixSystem has recently announced that there will be no TrueNAS Core 14 version. This means that 13.3 will be the last version to be officially released. TrueNAS CORE has now virtually reached End of Live status and I look back wistfully on the last few years of a very nice project.

The Gitea article series has been updated.

The Vaultwarden article series has been fundamentally restructured and updated.
