What happened that you're seeing this?

Knowing it's for the home, I'll look into this and see if we can add something like this to the to-do list. Thanks for elaborating and explaining.

Totally understood. Also, when I say "users", I do mean my wife! :) And just cleaning it up so she doesn't have 6 mapped network drives. Small business type environments would probably have a lot less complexity than a home user doing multiple things, and have less pushback from their users because they get paid to deal with less-than-ideal UX.

No, not at this time. That seems like adding complexity we'd stay away from until we get all the major features out of the way. I know there seems to be many people who want to use this in a small business-type environment, which is great, but normal home users have been getting the short end of the stick win NAS software because every company has focused on business to make the big $$.

I have a question with this one - Is there a way to have users who are not the server manager get browse access to the server via local command deck? It would be so much easier than mapping multiple drives for people, if it was possible! For example if the local user accounts could be use to authenticate to HexOS Local deck, with just File Browser permissions. Is there a plan to include this feature at any stage, if not currently addressed?

File Browser One of our most requested features is here. You can now manage your files without ever leaving Command Deck. Browse, inspect, and manage files on your server directly from Command Deck with a two-pane layout and details panel Switch between icon and list view modes Copy, move, delete, and rename files and folders with tracked progress and per-file transfer notifications Upload and download files directly to your NAS when on Local (this works over VPN connections as well, just not through the hosted Command Deck) Drag-and-drop upload support with bulk batching Download files from the internet directly to your server with optional checksum verification Shift-click range selection and Ctrl/Cmd-click toggle selection for managing multiple files at once Burn ISO files directly to USB devices attached to your server with verified writes and step-by-step progress tracking (Local connection required) Apps First-boot-only install questions are now hidden from app Options after initial setup, keeping the settings view clean App update notifications are now grouped by day with the date each update was first detected Newly curated apps now appear newest-first in the catalog App version display now shows both the app version and TrueNAS catalog version Storage Cache, log, special, and dedup vdev members are now correctly assigned to their pool instead of appearing as unused drives Reliability DNS rebind protection detection: if your router is blocking Command Deck from reaching your server, HexOS now detects this and notifies you with guidance on how to fix it Improved hosted-mode banner: Return to Local is disabled until the local Command Deck is confirmed reachable NOTE: All of these updates are applied automatically to your Command Deck. You may need to clear your cache. Help with clearing your cache is available here. Release Notes Link: https://docs.hexos.com/release-notes/command-deck/2026-08-17

Would be awesome to get a curated app for Homey Self hosted: https://homey.app/en-us/homey-self-hosted-server/ This one already supports TrueNAS so maybe its not that hard to get done?

Oh interesting. I'm a noob so I didnt know that existed. Ill have to look it up, thanks!

I don't know any of those apps, but if you don't mind having your external drive formatted in ZFS, you can just use the Replication Task under Data Protection in Truenas. This way you don't have to rely on any app and are only using built-in functions. This is rather easy to setup and you can use all the ZFS functionalities and snapshots and you can even access your external drive from your devices the same way as any other data share in HexOS. The downside, is just that you cannot use this drive directly on Windows or Mac since it's formatted in ZFS, but it's supported by any Hexos Server (or any other Linux OS capable of working with ZFS)

The main reason we have HexOS and a server at all really is to backup important family pictures we have. I have then seen the wide variety of things that is possible with a server, so our use case has slightly shifted and in addition to immich, we also use plex, and then have several SMB shares on all our family computers to store all the documents in one place. Then of course Tailscale to access it remotely. I figured out how to set it up as a Raid Z2 in Truenas and have been running it without too many problems for over a year now. Other than that, its all we have. I am excited for the buddy backup to come for HexOS which fits for the offsite backup, but I am wanting another method on-site here at home to back up the pictures and documents easily. The problem is I am complete noob. I see that HexOS has 5 backup apps. Backrest, Borgwarehouse, Duplicati, Restic REST Server, and UrBackup. But I don't know what they do and the one sentence description doesn't help much for a guy like me. (I have played around a little bit with the truenas side, but I did go with Hexos because Truenas felt too much to tackle from scratch. ) I am imagining buying a portable 4TB hard drive, hook it up once a week, hit a button and everything backs up. The next week do the same thing and it'll find any changes and back it up. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am willing to do a deep dive in the app i know is the right one, but trying to dive into 5 apps to even understand their purpose is a bit daunting. ChatGPT seemed to think Backrest and Restic was the best option. It said Duplicati might be another option, but thought it might be "slight more complicated conceptually" Anyways, can someone point me in the right direction with even a 1 word answer of the app to go with, or with another forum post if this has already been discussed before? Thanks in advance

Do you see yourselves creating first party apps in the future? Maybe similar to how zimaos is creating a first party photos app

@Naib you the real MVP for this workaround. My 1080 stopped worked after an update and took forever for me to realize it's because it's no longer supported. Using this workaround as a temp fix until I can get something a little newer.

Hey! I resemble that remark! I think?

We can't solve the world's problems or be their nanies. We give or customers options and they choose if they want to use them or not.

Very Cool! Game servers are awesome!'

It is and I have set it up without errors that I have noticed.

I believe it is curated now, I have installed it but haven't had time to set it up yet so unsure if there is any issues.

We have one experimental Curation this week. Palworld Server - Create and manage a multiplayer palworld server. Instructions for use can be found on our docsite here This was a larger project than I had previously anticipated with over a 100 options exposed for the ultimate palworld experience. I would appreciate any feedback on how we can improve our curation for palworld server going forward.

My god man you're a genius. I actually didn't think of that. I was able to login through Firefox but not chrome or edge. That fixed it. thank you

good call out i will try to get that enabled soon

We'll add this to the list. Thanks for your suggestion.
