To access the Luanti (formerly known as Minetest) configuration and data folders on TrueNAS 25.10, you must use the system's native storage management tools. Depending on how you installed Luanti, the fastest and most organized method is by mapping folders through the file system. 1. Access via Host Path (Recommended) If you installed Luanti configuring the storage option as Host Path, your configuration files are already mapped to a path in a visible dataset within your NAS.

• Check your path: Go to the Apps section in the left menu of TrueNAS.

• Edit the app: Find Luanti in your installed applications and select Edit.

• Locate the volume: Check the Storage section. There you will see a mapped folder (for example, to Config or Data) with a path like /mnt/your_pool_name/luanti_dataset.

• Access the files: Since this folder is located in a dataset on your server, you can access it directly over the network (SMB) by configuring the permissions. Open File Explorer on your PC (Windows or macOS) and connect to the NAS network using: \\[NAS_IP]\[your_pool_name].

2. Direct access from the terminal (Shell): If you are using internal system storage or want to quickly modify a configuration text file:

• Go to the side menu and open the Shell module.

• Log in as the root user with your TrueNAS administrator password.

• Navigate to the folder where the Kubernetes applications reside using the following command: cd /mnt/your_pool_name/ix-applications/releases/luanti/

• From there you can view the file hierarchy and access the game directories.

3. Create a shared folder dedicated to configurations: If you installed Luanti without manually mapping the configuration, all the information is hidden on the system's internal volume. To have complete control over your mods, worlds, and .conf files:

• Create a new dataset in your storage pool and name it luanti_data.

• When creating it, you can assign it the Apps preset type so the system automatically grants it permissions.

• Edit Luanti's configuration in the Apps interface, change the storage type to Host Path, and link that internal Luanti folder to the dataset you just created.

• This will make the folder permanently accessible on a shared network.
