@mill3000 can you investigate this further?

https://docs.hexos.com/blog/2026-09-09 Buddy Backup is now in beta: back up your HexOS server to a friend's, fully encrypted, with no monthly cloud storage bills. Learn how it works, what your buddy can (and can't) see, and how to join the rollout.

sure is an app that uses postgres you might have to delete the sure dataset in /(HDDs or SSDs)/Applications/sure and then try reinstalling

This should have been in the update that went out a day or so ago.

Can't wait to test out the buddy backup. I've already filled out the form and I'm setting up my second HexOS Server tomorrow. Hope I get in. Keep up the great work. 😉

Trying to install Sure but it keeps erroring out. is this a common thing or a me issue?

In short Buddy Backups and Virtual Machines are beginning to roll out to test users now. The file browser and app cards are both getting deeper integrations with apps. All of this makes up HexOS 1.1, which ships on Black Friday this year (Nov 27, 2026). The $199 early access sale ends December 1, when standard pricing of $299 per server takes effect. Verbose details inside and another two blogs are slated for this week to go deeper into Buddy Backups and VMs. Beta signup: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18XKSC5U0DPcaJL0RxrqRKqLl-mr7aS1WkTR9eftxOZw/viewform

Is this a NFS only dataset or a dataset without sharing option? If so, Hexos only shows datasets also supporting SMB. If it's a NFS only dataset can you try adding SMB to see if it's now visible in HexOS? Because I see every SMB dataset in Hexos but the NFS only not and I created all my datasets in Truenas :)

I’d like to see HexOS support adopting an existing TrueNAS dataset as a HexOS Folder without recreating, moving, or otherwise modifying the dataset. I recently ran into a practical example of this. I created an encrypted backup dataset directly in TrueNAS: HDDs/Backups I did this because I needed TrueNAS key-based dataset encryption so the dataset can remain available for unattended scheduled backups. HexOS’s current encrypted Folder workflow uses a password/passphrase, which was not appropriate for this use case. The dataset works perfectly and appears normally in TrueNAS, but it does not appear in the HexOS Folders section because it was created outside HexOS. It would be useful if HexOS could offer something like: “Adopt Existing Dataset as Folder” Ideally this would register an existing dataset with HexOS without changing: - Dataset path - Existing data - Encryption configuration - ACLs / ownership - ZFS properties - Existing shares - Quotas For settings HexOS cannot safely manage, I think it would be completely reasonable to expose them as read-only or mark the Folder as something like: “TrueNAS-managed” For example, my Backups dataset could appear in HexOS as: Backups Encrypted • TrueNAS-managed HexOS would not need to take control of the encryption key or convert the dataset to HexOS’s encryption model. It would simply recognize the existing dataset and make it visible within the normal HexOS interface. I think this would also be useful for people migrating existing TrueNAS systems into HexOS, or anyone who occasionally needs to use the TrueNAS UI for functionality HexOS does not yet expose. The main goal would be interoperability rather than having two separate views of the same storage depending on where the dataset was originally created.

We put out an update recently that should have addressed this. Please let us know if you are still seeing the "attention needed" on your server.

We are looking into it and hopefully we can get this fixed in the next week or two for everyone. Thanks for taking the time to write us!

Thanks for the bug report, I will forward it to the team.

Repro steps: install app from catalog during setup rename app name i.e postgres-<VALUE> Navigate to hexos dashboard expected result: App name in hexos reflects the new name i.e postgres-<VALUE> Actual result: App name in hexos does not reflect the new name i.e postgres-<VALUE> it just shows postgres Note: This is working as expected with custom apps, this behavior is only being observed when installing apps from catalog.

You're welcome

For sure haha have to think about that, thanks for the information Gonna see if I can find anything about that Thank you so much for your help 🙂

you're right, i mixed it up with the next gen where the mobile cpus where on a updated architecture compared to the desktop ones also intel's naming scheme really has gotten confusing. 4 digit and 5 digit cpu model numbers should not exist in the same gen >.> so according to google the 1235u idles at 1.5-5w and the 12100 idles at 15-25w. thats the difference of around 2 led lightbulbs if we compare 5w to 15w. depending on electricity costs in your area it could be worth the difference. I have my server on 24/7 and all savings when it comes to electricity is worth it for me. calculating a best case scenario difference of 10w using a rate of 0.25 euros per kwh (what google told me the average rate is in austria) the difference would cost you 21.92 euros in electricity per year assuming your system is running 24/7 worst case scenario of 23.5w difference at the same rate it would cost 51.5 euros per year realistically it would be somewhere in between the 21.92 and 51.5 euros per year. That is a real downside, I suggest googling to see how good aoostar's support and warranty process is. A lot of users on this forum have also bought aoostar products and i think the general concusses was that they are happy with it. Generally i don't expect motherboard or cpu to fail often. they usually follow the bathtub curve where there will be very early failures on defective mobos and cpus but there will usually be little to no failures until they die of old age Honestly i think you would likely be happy either way

Same here

That makes the decision harder. I was thinking about getting the 12100 (Configuration 2). Do you really thinks, that its much more power efficient? Where did you get that information from? I couldnt find anything about that. Dont they have the same support (because both are 12th gen)? One last question: You said, you would go with the 1235U. That means, I would buy the AOOSTAR WTR MAX. But the 1235U is a soldered CPU, so if something would break (CPU or MoBo), I would habe to replace both the CPU and the MoBo (and I would not be able to use any MoBo, because the ports are cut into the case). Would you still go for the 1235U?

Pretty much the title. I'm using a gaming PC that's only one generation old. 5800X3D, 6700XT, 128gb ddr4 ram etc... I think this is over kill because all I run on it is HexOS, Jellyfin, Immich, and Tailscale. I think I want to take the hardware and use it for another fun project like a duel PC in a single case. Moonlight into it so I can essentially run another OS I can open a window into. Are there any good bang for you buck setups that can easily handle HexOS, Jellyfin, Immich, Tailscale, and maybe a small Minecraft server?

Update: I tried to unclaim and reclaim the server and the issue persists.

After the latest HexOS Command Deck update, one of my servers has started showing: “Online - attention needed” However, I cannot find anything that actually requires attention. WHAT I’M SEEING • The server has a green checkmark and is online. • The main dashboard reports “Server is healthy.” • I’m not seeing any health warnings, failed tasks, alerts, or other notifications. • The server itself appears to be operating normally. • My other HexOS server continues to show “Online and healthy.” TROUBLESHOOTING I’VE TRIED • Reloading/reopening Command Deck. • Switching between Local and Hosted. • Checking again after the server/dashboard had fully loaded. The “attention needed” status persists, and there is still no indication anywhere of what supposedly needs attention. This started after the most recent Command Deck update, so I’m wondering if this is a stale or incorrectly triggered status rather than an actual server-health issue. Screenshot attached. QUESTION Is there somewhere in Command Deck that should show the specific condition responsible for an “attention needed” state? If there really is an issue being detected, it would be helpful if the status linked directly to the relevant warning or displayed what triggered it. Happy to provide logs or any other diagnostic information if useful.

I would go with the 1235u just because of its power efficiency compared to 12100 and better performance compared to n150. It also has better support for av1 video compared to 12100 On another note if you watch a lot of subtitled video, i would skip the n150
