I have two TrueNAS SCALE/Community Edition servers and have been using Ansible to manage deployment of apps to them for a while now. As part of that I have been "reverse engineering" the `midclt` command line app that TrueNAS ships with and uses for its Web UI over websockets.

I don't really like Ansible, so I thought I would give creating a Terraform Provider a shot, with the help of Claude Code.

You can create custom apps, and so far I have migrated a couple of my own applications from Ansible to Terraform.

Huh, literally setting this up today but using registry.terraform.io/baladithyab/truenas. It works for a few things, but I wasn't able to get user management going.

The other providers are built on the OpenAPI APIs which appear to be brittle and incomplete. I guess this is the websocket version in command-line form?

I'd definitely be interested in switching over if you can flesh this out!
