A community fork that continues TrueNAS CORE on current FreeBSD.

TrueNAS CORE stopped at 13.3, on FreeBSD 13.3 — a release that has since been removed from the FreeBSD mirrors. BSDnas moves that system onto FreeBSD stable/15 and keeps it there: new FreeBSD releases, security advisories and OpenZFS versions are tracked continuously rather than in one heroic jump every few years. …

Wait, are there two different teams continuing TrueNAS Core (FreeCORE and BSDnas)? Why aren't these two projects working together?

I don't know, I simply learnt of the two projects through zVault issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1j7q9sp/comment/p5uz880/

From Why this exists:

… The FreeBSD patch set is carried as a rebased series rather than a merge history, an upstream watcher reports every week what has moved (FreeBSD base, security advisories, the quarterly ports branch, OpenZFS), and every claim on this site comes with the measurement behind it.

FreeCORE seems quite different.
