Create a public/anonymous Windows network drive on TrueNAS-13.0-U3.1Core 2022
Capturing my step-by-step notes here on how to set up a public SMB share on a network using TrueNAS. So that next time I don't need to fumble around. If this helps someone else, that's a bonus.
Starting from a completely fresh installation on a system with three hard drives.
In this virtualised trial run, I have 10GB drive for TrueNAS installation, 2 x 32GB drives for storage.
