I'm sure this is frustrating, but this bug reporting form is probably =
not the right place to bring up the issues.  The guide you describe is =
an individual's github page, not something that is maintained by the =
PostgreSQL development community.  TrueNAS isn't one of the standard =
PostgreSQL platforms.  That doesn't mean PostgreSQL *won't* run on it, =
but there isn't the expertise here required to get those instructions to =
work.

It's not even clear from a quick read of their documentation what the =
underlying OS for TrueNAS is (both Linux and FreeBSD are mentioned).

If you are following those instructions and they do not appear to work, =
probably the best answer is to open an issue on that GitHub repo.  =
TrueNAS might also have support forums that could be useful.=
