Wow, that's a heck of an alternative to Excel.

Will do thanks.

i prefer lsi 9305 or newer because of the reduced power draw and heat.

It looks interesting, but right now we are only curating apps that are part of the TrueNAS app catalog. Feel free to reach out to the Grist team and kindly request they submit Grist to the TrueNAS app catalog. You can also share with them the instructions for how to add apps to the TrueNAS app catalog https://github.com/truenas/apps/blob/master/CONTRIBUTIONS.md

Hello, Im looking to replace excel and Apple Numbers for something better. I hear that Grist is pretty awesome. But of course I'm a newb and need a curated app.

At the moment I am looking at backrest and a cron job to mount/unmount drives as an interim solution as it will verify file integrity and encrypt the backup offsite. But it's a bit complicated to setup.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I figured I'd add my +1 I don't have any viable offsite options that have internet/power. I thought about bringing the internet/power while I am offsite but there aren't any Android Apps I could find that support writing to an external drive, other than syncthing, but that doesn't have file integrity verification. It sounds like my best option is rotating two drives offsite every time I visit. For this to be viable I'd need it to be as simple as plugging a drive into Hex OS for some time (overnight?) then unplug before I go offsite. Then if it isn't obvious, swap the drive with the one already offsite then repeat with that one when I get back.

I think creating first party apps makes sense for the core features we are directly supporting, but we are being diligent in picking which features we think we can do exceptionally well and provide some unique value, while letting existing, quality incumbent apps own there respective spaces. Case in point with Buddy Backup. With something like photos, I just don't know if we could genuinely do better both short and long term than some of the options out there already. But we do think there's are some things we can do with them to have tighter knit integrations. More soon!

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this, but I am trying to use the burn ISO feature. I have a USB stick inserted, HexOS see's it as an unused drive, but the burning app doesn't. Are there limitations, stick size, file system and such like?

I don't know what gpu acceleration there is in hexos, I was only going to keep it in for troubleshooting. Will remove it to save on power. Thanks for the info on c-states.

I’ve tried that, turned off all oc options. Do you think setting cpu to only run at base would help. Unless there are multiple cstate options I believe I disabled 2

Hey, AMD Ryzen 1000-3000 keeps freezing due to C-States. Disabling those should fix this issue.

I have a server currently running and it constantly hardware locks. All the lights and fans are spinning but nothing is responsive. The only way to reset it is to turn off the psu and flick it back on. It’s running a 3950x engineering sample AMD 100-00000003–02, 48gb of ram one 16 one 32gb, no gpu, 550w psu, 2hdds and 1 boot ssd and a pci Ethernet 10gig card. Is anyone else having or had similar issues. I’m so close to giving up cause I just want a stable server 😞

I can't help on the expansion card, but AMD Ryzen 1000-3000 Series tends to freeze with HexOS/TrueNAS. To fix this, you have to disable C-States. Also the GTX1080 is no longer supported only 2000 Series or higher is supported.

The Nextcloud app in TrueNAS is available in different trains. The app from the "stable" train is more simple, whereas the one from the "community" train is more feature complete (notify push support, etc.), which is great of ease of use, something that HexOS strives for. Currently, I don't know of a way to specify a train in app install scripts. It would be great to be able to do that, so we could also support "Nextcloud (community train)".

Hi everyone, Finally getting to building my nas. I am repurposing an old gaming computer. AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 32GB RAM ASRock x470 Master SLI/ac Zotac GTX 1080 (probably won't leave it in the nas) 12x 10TB HDDs The mother board has 6 SATA ports, but I need more to use all of my hard drives. I intend to add some of my old SSDs to the build for the OS and scratch/metadata. I am looking for advice on what expansion card I should get. I have been looking at getting 2x LSI 9211-8i. Not sure if that's the best to get. Any advice on expansion cards or the build would be appreciated.

I'm blown away by the progress the last few months. It seems like everytime I look around there's new goodies and things I can try out that I didn't know existed. I'm particularly excited about these budgeting solutions. I still haven't recovered from Intuit's hostile takeover and execution of Mint.

I'd like to request NostalgiaTV as a curated HexOS app. NostalgiaTV creates traditional TV-style channels and schedules from an existing Jellyfin, Plex, or Emby library. It can be used through its own Android/Android TV client, but the server component can also expose the generated channels through HDHomeRun emulation, M3U, and XMLTV. For Jellyfin users in particular, this means you can create scheduled "live TV" channels from your existing media library and feed them back into Jellyfin's native Live TV guide. The server already has an actively maintained Docker image with amd64/arm64 support: "purestream711/nostalgiatv-server" It uses persistent storage for its data/configuration and normally listens on port 19850, so it seems like it could be a good candidate for a relatively straightforward HexOS curation. Project / Docker information: https://hub.docker.com/r/purestream711/nostalgiatv-server I think this would complement Jellyfin particularly well in HexOS, since it adds a completely different way to consume an existing media library without duplicating the media itself. Would be great to see this added to the curated app list.
