# TrueMigration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A Python CLI tool for migrating TrueNAS configuration from a debug archive to a live destination system. Designed for systems integration teams working in pre-production deployment environments.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What It Does
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TrueMigration reads configuration data out of a TrueNAS debug archive (the `.tgz` produced by **System → Save Debug** in the TrueNAS UI) and re-creates that configuration on a destination TrueNAS system via its WebSocket API.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Currently supported:**
|
||||||
|
- SMB shares
|
||||||
|
- NFS exports
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Planned:**
|
||||||
|
- iSCSI (targets, extents, portals, initiator groups)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Python 3.9+
|
||||||
|
- No external packages — stdlib only
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Interactive Mode (recommended)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Drop a TrueNAS debug archive in the current directory and run with no arguments. The wizard will guide you through archive selection, destination configuration, per-share selection, a dry run preview, and final confirmation before making any changes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
python deploy.py
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
python -m truenas_migrate
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Command Line Mode
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Inspect the archive before doing anything
|
||||||
|
python -m truenas_migrate --debug-tar debug.tgz --list-archive
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Dry run — connects to destination but makes no changes
|
||||||
|
python -m truenas_migrate \
|
||||||
|
--debug-tar debug.tgz \
|
||||||
|
--dest 192.168.1.50 \
|
||||||
|
--api-key "1-xxxxxxxxxxxx" \
|
||||||
|
--dry-run
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Live migration
|
||||||
|
python -m truenas_migrate \
|
||||||
|
--debug-tar debug.tgz \
|
||||||
|
--dest 192.168.1.50 \
|
||||||
|
--api-key "1-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Migrate only SMB shares
|
||||||
|
python -m truenas_migrate \
|
||||||
|
--debug-tar debug.tgz \
|
||||||
|
--dest 192.168.1.50 \
|
||||||
|
--api-key "1-xxxxxxxxxxxx" \
|
||||||
|
--migrate smb
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Generating an API Key
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the TrueNAS UI: top-right account menu → **API Keys** → **Add**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Conflict Policy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TrueMigration never overwrites or deletes existing configuration on the destination. Conflicts are silently skipped:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Type | Conflict detected by |
|
||||||
|
|------------|----------------------------------|
|
||||||
|
| SMB share | Share name (case-insensitive) |
|
||||||
|
| NFS export | Export path (exact match) |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Always run with `--dry-run` first to preview what will and won't be created.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Archive Compatibility
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Source version | Archive format | Notes |
|
||||||
|
|----------------|------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
|
||||||
|
| SCALE 24.04+ | ixdiagnose (lowercase) | Combined JSON plugin files |
|
||||||
|
| SCALE (older) | ixdiagnose (uppercase) | Per-query JSON files |
|
||||||
|
| CORE | freenas-debug/fndebug | Plain-text dumps with embedded JSON blocks |
|
||||||
|
| HA bundles | Outer .tgz + inner .txz| Active node archive selected automatically |
|
||||||
|

||||||

||||||
|
__main__.py # python -m truenas_migrate
|

```

|
|
||||||
|
## Safety Notes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- SSL certificate verification is disabled by default, as TrueNAS systems commonly use self-signed certificates. Use `--verify-ssl` to enable it.
|
||||||
|
- The tool targets the TrueNAS 25.04+ WebSocket API endpoint (`wss://<host>/api/current`).
|
||||||
|
- Exit code `2` is returned if any errors occurred during migration.
