So, with the configuration on a separate dataset, not only is it safely separated from the jail but we can now take snapshots as well!
I know snapshots are nothing new for zfs and the functionality is built right into TrueNAS UI already so I’m not sure if worth anything but I thought I’d ask…
Is anybody interested in triggering snapshots from Home Assistant?
I don’t even know how many different ways you can do this already with Home Assistant but I made a simple rest_command and modified this blueprint to configure automations that can trigger it.
It seems like a lot but using a simple script to activate the automation, I can now say “Hey Google, activate snapshot config” and TrueNAS will create a zfs snapshot of my configuration dataset.
