No problem man! if you have any other questions/issues feel free to reach out! Goodluck!

home isp services do not allow running email servers like that

I realize HexOS has way more important things to do to get to the production version 1 but maybe add this to the 3rd tier list of feature requests: I really hate purple as the default color scheme in HexOS. A color pallet to change the purple icons and graphics to other colors would be nice.

Please take the time to read this, they are only a UI of truenas they have no control of the root operating system. This is not my opinion or assertion it is fact. If you have watched any of the installation videos like the one by Lawrence systems, your start by installing truenas onto your machine, then logging into the hexos portal with a machine on the same network to see the trunas installation. Therefore its not HEXOS that will need to support lower ram, its the operating system vendor. I am sorry if this seems curt in any way, but you simply do not understand what hexos is providing. https://www.truenas.com/blog/powered-by-truenas-hexos/#:~:text=By leveraging the robust and,manage their own home servers.

Plus one more vote for Tailscale one click app.

I too would like to see synchthing as a supported one click app.

I also totally agree. Nextcloud would be very high on the list of apps I would want in HexOS.

thanks

im useing unifi teleport as my connection to my immich server and works extremely well

When claiming a server, the server admin password is used on deck.hexos.com This is quite bad design from a security perspective. An ed25519 pub key would be much better to use.

Whoa †Δ† Nice suits, all!

Would love this!

I can't handle bean water anymore. Dehydrates me something fierce. Have a mug in my honor? Lol

I love tea >ω<

I am currently testing it out in Virtual Box VM. It does work very well and easy to set up with some tweaks I had to work out.. It will be safe to shutdown for a night. However please do remember that HexOS is in beta, so things will change and break. Any major important data, keep backed up somewhere else or on another system.

you won't feel the difference, maybe a couple seconds at boot time, but that's negligible since a server is supposedly on 24/7 anyway if you run out of sata ports you could always buy a cheap PCIE to sata (or PCIE to nvme) adapter off aliexpress (depending on what you get you MAY be band limited, so do your research before buying!)

generally HBA is just "an interface" to connect your HDDs to your CPU. assuming you're using a consumer-grade PC (rather than a server), the sata ports connect to your chipset (a chip that is built in to your motherboard), which does the job a HBA would've done. hypothetically, lets say you use all 6 sata ports and wanna add more drives? only THEN would you need to get a HBA/RAID card, and allocate it in a PCIE slot

looks REALLY neat from a preserving standpoint, but that hardware is SO old, i don't think you should run it. don't get me wrong, it'll probably do whatever you throw at it (speed can be debated, but it'll PROBABLY be fine), my main concern is power consumption. each CPU can draw a non-negligent amount of power. and the performance per watt for these things aren't that good, even in comparison to a more modern dell optiplex or something. if the power bill isn't a concern, then go for it! should be fun!

I am new to this and i have known for a while that i need a NAS but i have never really understood the reason for a HBA. I Have 5 drives that i will put in a RAID and my mother board has 6 SATA connections so do i need a HBA? and if so why? Any Help is much appreciated.

Oh I did forget to add, that some of the games now days are crazy in sizes, plus 2 of the family PC's are small factor builds, with about 1 TB drive. So space is limited, while the server can sit there and chill with back ups/updates on games, + pooling resource's together in one case/server rack.

The main thing I have noticed with Steam networking sharing via LAN, seems to be limited on speeds. I have 2, with 1-Gb, and 3 with 2.5Gb NICS cards in them.. The transfer rate seems to be capped at 200Mbps give or take no matter from where/or network load. Main switch is 10Gb, 2nd switch is 2.5Gb one.

Right now it comes across as lipstick on a pig, why not slim down the pig a bit 👍🏻

I believe the hexos team have more control than maybe even true nas team, true nas will be under some type of expectation from the community to keep all the default settings on, that are using up all the free ram, it’s just a matter of giving the user the control over these settings, or turning them off by default, hexos looks pretty different to truenas. We don’t need all the extra bells and whistles, the interface is all about simplicity for the user, why not the whole inner workings as well?

Hello, I don't know if it was already posted as I am blind or there is no search option? I've just got licanse for HexOS and was very exited so I got myself HP EliteDesk 800 SSfG2 i5-6600, 16 GB RAM. I am planing to use it for photo backups and 1080p plex to livingroom TV. I was just playing around with it updating BIOS etc. as I don't have my invite yet and waiting for drives. I've noticed that it don't have M.2 slot ( I know I should double check it), I've checked documenation and it got 3 x SATA 3.0 I was planing to put 2 storage drives + boot drive. How much of impact it will have if I use normal SSD? Plus I was thinking about PCI-E extention but not sure if it will support boot from it as I can't find information about it. I would apreasiate inside about it.
