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.

French speaker from France here. I'd like to help!

Hello Everyone, When the time's come, i would be more than happy to help with Hungarian translation.

Buddy backups and VMs are on the list, yes. But what I think really should make HexOS complete is the arrival of AnyRAID. I'm pretty sure "converting" (read: back up to another NAS, wipe HexOS storage pools, copy back from said other NAS) to AnyRAID is going to be a huge task. Because of that, I haven't fully committed to HexOS yet. I thought TruNAS 26 (and its HexOS counterpart) was gonna bring AnyRAID, but I read a blogpost or something saying that this year's AnyRAID is focused on/limited to mirrors, and that it'll be late 2027 where the real AnyRAID arrives. Until then, holding onto my near EOL Synology box as my main NAS.

I'm happy we have met some of the need cases out there. There are more items we will be hitting shortly with Buddy Backups and then VMs as major items, along with more things in the UI to slowly require less TrueNAS UI. For me, I'll say the happy state will be after Buddy Backups and VMs. Also with the updates, TrueNAS should be pushing our fix on our Baba Yaga (websocat service issue) hopefully fixed in 25.10.7. We'll have the basics covered, and we can focus on addressing the need for the TrueNAS web UI. We can also then continue to build on all existing features, adding more depth to them.

I can help in Tamil - India which is one of the oldest surving language as of today. I'm a native Tamil speaker.

I would only suggest fast ssds for metadata/special vdevs. The downside is that if that vdev fails you lose all the data on your pool regardless of redundancy. This is why I suggest a minimum of a double mirror for metadata/special vdevs. I've also heard that its not very useful for unless you have 10s of thousands of folders inside tens of thousands of folders. another drawback is that currently there is no good way to rebalance vdevs if you add the metadata vdev after already having data on your pool. however in the future once truenas 26 or 27 (I forget which) rolls out it should be possible.

Buddy backups were moved to a future version 1.1 release. you can check out our roadmap here https://docs.hexos.com/blog/2025-11-26 Its always a good idea to practice the 3-2-1 backup strategy You are welcome to voice questions/concerns/observations from the standpoint of this being a production product

Rolling this back to the top of the list since I'm needing to give some love to my rack. Any thoughts from anyone would be awesome.

Hello, just want to start by saying I am loving my time with HexOS! This has been an absolute game changer, and my favorite part is being the Media guy for a few friends and family. That said, since HDD prices are out of this world right now, I stumbled across maintainerr.info and it sounds like the perfect tool to add to my current stack, in order to more easily make space for new media. My favorite part is the “leaving soon” feature. Love this idea! Hope others see the benefit of this application, as I think having this curated would be an immense help to maintaining storage hygiene. Thanks for reading!

Nice, i'll check it out.

Ok, so I mean this sincerely and honestly, no joking this time. I thought you (well, maybe not you specifically) had said Local dashboard/command deck vs hosted and Buddy Backup where the line to declaring we had reached 1.0? I don't really care about either specifically but the admins were very vocal about keeping backups during the beta and cot calling HexOS production ready. So to be clear, you are ready to start taking questions/concerns/observations (if any) from the standpoint of this being a production product? I don't think that came from the Linus videos but I may be wrong.
