Truenas core plugins are preconfigured jails for a given application. 
Basically, it allows for quick deployment. Truenas core is build on freebsd. In 
freebsd package management is done via freshports. Unlike Linux package 
management, it's not uncommon to find different versions. I noticed freshports 
is more up to date with some applications.

There was a time ix system did maintain a freenas plug in. After converting to 
truenas the amount of plugins has decreased.

To use bacula in truenas core you need to create a jail. You can't install 
freshports outside of a jail in truenas core. Well you shouldn't cause it will 
issues when it's time to upgrade.

Hello,

Or is there actually a Bacula Plugin for TrueNAS Core and I just did not look 
right and did not find it?

We need to commit to terminology as every person can understand different 
questions here.
Bacula has a feature called Plugins which allow Bacula to backup and restore 
different components using these plugins.

So, in my understanding the term: "a Bacula Plugin for TrueNAS Core" means a 
feature for Bacula to be able to backup and restore data (files, configuration, 
etc.) available on your TrueNAS server. This is a case when your TrueNAS box 
flames in fire then you will be able to recover all your data to the new 
TrueNAS box.

But reading on the internet what iX-Systems Plugins are I think it is not what 
I understand with the above term.

best regards
