TrueNAS 25.10 code-named "Goldeye" is here with a revamped user interface, an updated OpenZFS, and more. The TrueNAS team says that this new version builds on the foundations set by its predecessor, "Fangtooth", but pushes performance and enterprise features much further.
With the latest release, TrueNAS now has NVMe over Fabric (NVMe-oF) support, which the TrueNAS team says unlocks unprecedented I/O performance. This technology lets you access remote storage as if it were a local NVMe drive, cutting out the protocol overhead from older standards like iSCSI.
The Community Edition gets NVMe/TCP for broad compatibility over standard Ethernet, while the Enterprise version gets the even faster NVMe/RDMA, which bypasses the CPU for direct memory-to-memory data transfers.
The Web UI has been improved to streamline management across several key areas, including the Updates, Users, Datasets, and Storage Dashboard screens. The new user page, for example, allows for quick setup with simple checkbox configurations. And if you love tinkering with your application setups, the integrated YAML editor for TrueNAS Apps has been updated with syntax highlighting, validation, and more.
There"s now a new (versioned) TrueNAS API that ditches the old REST-based system. Built on JSON-RPC 2.0 over WebSocket, the new API results in a much more responsive Web UI and speeds up third-party integrations. And because the API is versioned, developers can target a specific version, ensuring their integrations with platforms like Kubernetes or VMware will not break when you update TrueNAS in the future.
TrueNAS 25.10 ships with OpenZFS 2.3.4, bringing a number of stability and performance improvements. This update delivers critical fixes for encrypted snapshot replication and introduces Direct I/O support for better performance in virtualized environments. It also includes better memory pressure handling to prevent out-of-memory crashes and enhanced I/O scaling for more efficient pool operations.
Other changes in this release include replacing the proprietary drivers with open-source ones that support Turing and newer GPUs, meaning Pascal, Maxwell, and Volta cards are no longer supported.
The release also adds Secure Boot for virtual machines and the ability to import and export VM disks in multiple formats like VMDK and QCOW2. A new Update Profiles system lets you choose how quickly you receive updates based on your risk tolerance.
