TrueNAS 25.10 unifies CORE and SCALE, adds Terabit Ethernet and web-based installer

TrueNAS 25.10 “Goldeye” has been released, building on the CORE and SCALE unification in 25.04 with over 1,000 fixes and enhancements. It introduces a web-based installation process that replaces the traditional USB and console setup, using a secure API and free cloud service for SSL configuration, email alerts, and basic system reports, with trials planned for September 2025.

Networking upgrades include Terabit Ethernet support for AI and ML clusters, enabled by multi-port 400GbE interfaces at lower hardware costs. Performance gains come from OpenZFS ARC and ZIL acceleration via DirectIO, RDMA in Enterprise, NVMe over TCP for the Community Edition, and updated drivers for 400GbE network cards. Hardware support now includes DDR5, PCIe Gen5, and new CPUs and NICs to ease migration from 100GbE to Terabit-class networks.

Goldeye also improves update management with system profile–based notifications and scheduling, and expands Enterprise virtualization with VM backup, migration, and HA failover. These enhancements position TrueNAS for both data-centric applications through its Data Hypervisor capabilities and traditional virtualization clusters using NFS, iSCSI, FC, or NVMe-oF protocols.
