Thanks for the reply, very good insight for me being new to home server stuff. I do have things automated with Google home system currently I would say. More or less looking for other then tailscale and jellyfin, what would be the programs that are "essential" some would say. Hopefully that clears up more.

There already is kinda. It's true it is a small list of the curated apps and represents mostly problem child apps that didn't play nice to start (Immich, i'm looking at you). I'm not sure if they meant it to do what you're looking for of it was more a way to pull the issues out of all the other forum categories and put then in one place. Now that you have called it out, lets see what happens.

Oh boy, where to start. Have you integrated the new NAS into you home infrastructure? Do you want to learn TrueNAS (or at least try it out)? Do you have things around the house you want to automate? Are there young people in your house that may want to learn computers/networking/Nas in general? You have at least 40 curated apps that cover a lot of different jobs and over 400 apps in the TrueNAS catalog, many of which will not be curated. And if that is not enough, docker (in its many forms) open up thousands more apps. If you want to go big, setup Jellyfin or Emby to be accessible to the outside world in a secure way then show us how you did it. I believe a few folks have it working through Tailscale but a real challenge would be to get it working on a smart TV in the home of your folks or any 'computer challenged' person.. While this is just a challenge off the top of my head, there will be many like this going forward. Eshtek is still focusing on core development and general app curations so it could be a while before they start taking on work like this. So if nothing else appeals to you (and you have the time), jump into the catalogs and see what calls out to you. I find that when I look at the curated apps as they are announced I catch myself saying 'Why curate that?' or 'What do people need that for?'. But when someone says what they use it for its often a facepalm or duh. That is now especially true for the self hosted stuff you do want companies using to train AI. If you don't already have a mental list, your not really trying so go for it.

Hi, I finally gotten around to building the server and the install. I've had a key since launch just finally gotten around to actually using it. Is there any cool things to do with the server other then tail scale and jellyfin??

Hi there, I wonder why there is no update in the "Curated Apps" section in the forum. When i have questions about a freshly curated app, or i wnat to check if an bigger update results in failuers I'm not exactly sure where to open a post to keep everything organized or where to look... I think there should be a section for every curated app Are there plans to update the forum? greetings

more new app curations Read more about it here https://docs.hexos.com/en/release-notes/command-deck/2026-07-26

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you.

Sounds pretty much like what I did but I'm stuck on the TV part also. I have two very smart TV's but neither seem to want to play Jellyfin from the Tailscale IP as you said. I am trying to figure out if I can create a link through Cloudflare and create the IP address the Jellyfin app wants. I struggled for years with Plex though I own a license. Within the last month it just worked for some reason. That is almost more annoying because I have had the license for over 8 years. (if my math is right)!

I am still having this issue after following the guide to disable IPV6. I can access truenas admin, i can still access my SMB folders and Jellyfin server. But i cant access the Deck GUI. Ive tried the Python thing and got the same error. This has been a thing for about a month now and updating to the newest build did not fix anything. I dont know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently got fed up with Plex continually yanking free features and decided to set up Jellyfin, which thanks to the recent HexOS updates was a breeze. One click install just simply worked, and since I already had folders set up for Plex, most of my stuff just showed up in Jellyfin (the naming works a little differently but that's off topic). The main impitus for setting up Jellyfin was remote watching. Here's the [not so detailed] steps I went through: 1. Installed Tailscale on your server through TrueNAS UI via tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0Py62k63_c (thank you @sdev) - might be able to install through HexOS dash now but I did the above and it's playing nice with HexOS NOTE: do not include any advertised routes or the app will not launch (in my experience) 2. On the device you're watching remotely, connect to Tailscale using your server as the exit node. 3. Only other thing I had to do was when launching Jellyfin remotely, you have to add a new server using the IP of the exit node as displayed under "machines" in the Tailscale interface. I was able to use the same port number (numbers after the colon for super noobs like me). Of course this only works for devices that can install Tailscale, so no smart TV's that I'm aware of, but I mainly wanted this for my phone anyways. Also Jellyfin still seems to be working out bugs with downloading files for offline watching and they don't have a download manager yet (I use VLC player to watch) but downloads were broken for years on Plex anyways. Hope this helps someone!

Tailscale pleeeeeease!!
