General installation issues #3

Sorry that this isn't really formatted as a proper issue report, but I just wanted to document the issues I had when installing it. Thanks for providing this script.

  1. I initially installed in /home/truenas_admin/scripts - the script would not run there, because /home is mounted with the noexec flag. I put in another directory where I had exec permission to fix that.

  2. The curl command to download the sendmail.py script failed, because the filename has
    been changed from multireport_sendmail.py to sendmail.py in the oxyde1989/standalone-tn-send-email
    repository. I fixed this by changing the filename in the curl command

  3. The script then failed when trying to send the email. To fix this I had to set email settings
    in TrueNAS in System->General Settings->Email (I'm using TrueNAS 25.04.2.6)

At this point the script ran successfully.

Another small thing:

In the README.md and in the comments in truenas_config_backup.txt the commands in 'Extra Info'
section use the script name ./config_backup.sh, which is different from the truenas_config_backup.sh
name you use in the text before that.

Anyway, thanks for providing this script. It is definitely useful for making backups of the config.
