Following the release of TrueNAS 25.10 for this Linux-based, OpenZFS-running operating system focused on network appliances / storage devices, iX systems has shared some of their plans for TrueNAS 26 this year.
TrueNAS 26 will be entering beta in April and will be focused on using the Linux 6.18 LTS kernel paired with OpenZFS 2.4. The OpenZFS 2.4 upgrade will bring hybrid pool improvements and other enhancements for this open-source ZFS file-system.
At the beginning of the year iX systems announced TrueNAS WebShare for enterprise-grade file sharing in the web browser. WebShare will play a bigger role in TrueNAS 26 and continue to be polished and more functionality added, such as integrated search.
TrueNAS 26 also plans for ransomware detection and protection capabilities. Full support for LXC containers is another big one coming with this next release.
Those curious about the TrueNAS platform plans for 2026 can find out more of their early plans via the TrueNAS blog.
