Is there a General TrueNAS tutorial/course anywhere.

I have been playing with TruNAS/FreeNas for a few years now. We run a few TruNAS appliances at work for storage, but now I have a TrueNAS core server at home that I have been using for storage, and to run a few VMs. I am now setting up a TrueNAS Scale server and looking at all of the options of what I can do with it. I will be hosting a few website VMs on it, and of course some shares, but I tried setting up a VM on it, and it is failing. I went back and changed a few options and still haven't gotten the VMs to run properly (Ubuntu 20.04 fails during installation). This got me thinking, I would love to find a good course that could walk me through from initial setup, what are VDEVS, ZVOL...and just give me everything I need to know to not have to guess my way through things. Are there any good video courses out there, kind of a TrueNAS 101?

Check out the Resources Section. You're not going to find much in the way of TrueNAS from zero to pro, but you'll find documents on all sorts of things.

what are VDEVS, ZVOL.

Well, here comes the shameless plug: https://www.truenas.com/community/resources/introduction-to-zfs.111/

Thanks, I'll check that out. I don't know if I need to be a pro, but I just want to have a little better understanding of how it all plays together.
