All Activity

The notification is gone and everything working normally, thank you!

Having a launch button for apps with a GUI is really convenient, but I would like to have the option of changing the URL that is used. I have some services exposed publicly through a reverse proxy (i.e. nextcloud, immich), but the button always opens a new tab with the local address. The deck already gives you access to your server from the outside, so if you choose to expose services publicly the buttons become a bit useless...

Thank you for pointing me there. seems the exact issue i have. Not sure how i missed that when searching for a solution.

Hey, you can check this post to find an explanation to what you are seeing: Generally it's recommended to not spin down the discs, since this adds significant wear on the drives and potentially makes them die faster and therefor any amount saved on electricity is negated by the fact that you possibly need to buy a new drive way sooner then you initially would have needed without spinning drives down. This is just the general recommendation, but everyone can do as he wishes :)

And it seems you can't shut it down via truenas apps or docker containers because it will autorestart. but in the time it is actually down. my discs have no reads and go to sleep propperly

Just to elaborate on that topic a little further. it seems that the hexos container actually reads on the HDDs every 2 minutes. I even downgraded from 25.10 to 25.4 again but couldn't get them easily to sleep. I actually assume because of the reads, exactly every 2 minutes. When i stop the hexos app, those reads are gone and the HDDs are spinning down properly. Discs are set to sleep after 5 minutes for easier testing and no advance sleep for now. Begs the question.... Am I missing a setting in HEXOS which wakes them up again or is that somehow intended ?

This one is cleans up our workflow dialogs for more consistency throughout the UI (and better navigation), and addresses some bugs with mobile. We also snuck in the VM beta, but it's invite-only to start.

I'm new at this, but my understanding is that Rclone is what I would need to use Dropbox as my off-site copies of often accessed, often edited files.

Have sent in a request for VM testing :), have a lab ready for just playing around. Thinking about setting up a MECM lab using Hexos. Have been using **raid so far. but i like the way Hexos looks and feels more, it is the only reason i bought 2 licenses for Hexos. If the system breaks does not matter, have this lab setup just for VM tinkering. Been waiting since first beta of Hexos for this posibility. So look forward for the posibility for testing.

Ok

fixed the link, didn't realize they are set to automatically expire in 30 days. this one shouldn't do that

@Mobius The discord invite link has expired.

Doublechecking the documentation for 'sure' these values are supposed to be auto generated when you need them. have you tried going through with connecting to your financial institution?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up Sure (self-hosted) and I'm getting the error below about missing encryption keys screenshot attached. Could anyone help me figure out how to configure this properly? Also, is there a way to force the app to run over HTTPS, similar to how Actual Budget does it? Thanks a lot in advance!

@squijello Do you still have that notification? It should have been corrected.

Second this request

@mill3000 can you investigate this further?

https://docs.hexos.com/blog/2026-09-09 Buddy Backup is now in beta: back up your HexOS server to a friend's, fully encrypted, with no monthly cloud storage bills. Learn how it works, what your buddy can (and can't) see, and how to join the rollout.

sure is an app that uses postgres you might have to delete the sure dataset in /(HDDs or SSDs)/Applications/sure and then try reinstalling

This should have been in the update that went out a day or so ago.

Can't wait to test out the buddy backup. I've already filled out the form and I'm setting up my second HexOS Server tomorrow. Hope I get in. Keep up the great work. 😉

Trying to install Sure but it keeps erroring out. is this a common thing or a me issue?

In short Buddy Backups and Virtual Machines are beginning to roll out to test users now. The file browser and app cards are both getting deeper integrations with apps. All of this makes up HexOS 1.1, which ships on Black Friday this year (Nov 27, 2026). The $199 early access sale ends December 1, when standard pricing of $299 per server takes effect. Verbose details inside and another two blogs are slated for this week to go deeper into Buddy Backups and VMs. Beta signup: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18XKSC5U0DPcaJL0RxrqRKqLl-mr7aS1WkTR9eftxOZw/viewform

Is this a NFS only dataset or a dataset without sharing option? If so, Hexos only shows datasets also supporting SMB. If it's a NFS only dataset can you try adding SMB to see if it's now visible in HexOS? Because I see every SMB dataset in Hexos but the NFS only not and I created all my datasets in Truenas :)

I’d like to see HexOS support adopting an existing TrueNAS dataset as a HexOS Folder without recreating, moving, or otherwise modifying the dataset. I recently ran into a practical example of this. I created an encrypted backup dataset directly in TrueNAS: HDDs/Backups I did this because I needed TrueNAS key-based dataset encryption so the dataset can remain available for unattended scheduled backups. HexOS’s current encrypted Folder workflow uses a password/passphrase, which was not appropriate for this use case. The dataset works perfectly and appears normally in TrueNAS, but it does not appear in the HexOS Folders section because it was created outside HexOS. It would be useful if HexOS could offer something like: “Adopt Existing Dataset as Folder” Ideally this would register an existing dataset with HexOS without changing: - Dataset path - Existing data - Encryption configuration - ACLs / ownership - ZFS properties - Existing shares - Quotas For settings HexOS cannot safely manage, I think it would be completely reasonable to expose them as read-only or mark the Folder as something like: “TrueNAS-managed” For example, my Backups dataset could appear in HexOS as: Backups Encrypted • TrueNAS-managed HexOS would not need to take control of the encryption key or convert the dataset to HexOS’s encryption model. It would simply recognize the existing dataset and make it visible within the normal HexOS interface. I think this would also be useful for people migrating existing TrueNAS systems into HexOS, or anyone who occasionally needs to use the TrueNAS UI for functionality HexOS does not yet expose. The main goal would be interoperability rather than having two separate views of the same storage depending on where the dataset was originally created.
