However, on April 12, 2017 iXsystems announced that FreeNAS Corral would instead be relegated to being a 'Technology Preview', citing issues such as "general instability, lack of feature parity with 9.10 (Jails, iSCSI, etc), and some users experiencing lower performance than expected" and the departure of the project lead. Instead, the decision was made to revert to the existing 9.10 code and bring Corral features to 9.10.3 and further.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}} |

The TrueNAS project originated as FreeNAS, created by Olivier Cochard-Labbé in October 2005, based on the m0n0wall firewall and FreeBSD 6.0. The project evolved over time, with Volker Theile joining in 2006 and later leading the project. In 2009, development shifted towards Debian Linux, resulting in the creation of OpenMediaVault. Cochard-Labbé returned to oversee the project's transition to iXsystems, where FreeNAS was re-engineered and rebranded as TrueNAS.
The reimplementation of FreeNAS with version 8.0 transitioned the project onto a new architecture based on FreeBSD's NanoBSD embedded build system, Python, Django, and the dōjō toolkit. The initial web server, lighttpd, was later replaced by nginx in subsequent versions.
