Hello, we have a bunch of fixes coming for this very shortly. It's tied up with buddy backups which is why we haven't pushed it yet. Just know it's coming out very soon!

The translation platform is live. Thanks to everyone who volunteered in this thread. Here are the instructions to get started. Where to go Head to translate.hexos.com and click Sign in. It uses your existing HexOS account, so there's nothing to register and nothing to be granted. If you can log in to HexOS, you can start translating right now. What you'll find We're running Weblate, the same open-source translation platform used by projects like Fedora and LibreOffice. Everything happens in your browser: no tools to install, no technical background needed. Just you, the English text, and a box to type your translation into. There are about 2,800 strings that make up the HexOS interface, and you can filter by area (storage, apps, tasks, and so on) if you'd rather focus on one corner at a time. Getting started Sign in at translate.hexos.com Open the Deck component and add your language (or join one that's already started) Start translating. Weblate saves as you go, and you can stop and pick it back up whenever you like. Same as Jon said: no deadlines, no commitments A few things worth knowing Placeholders like `{name}` or `{count}` need to stay exactly as they are. Move them around to fit your grammar, just don't translate what's inside the braces. Brand terms (HexOS, Command Deck, TrueNAS, ZFS) stay in English everywhere. They're marked in the built-in glossary so you don't have to memorize them. Not sure about a string? Leave a comment on it right in Weblate. We monitor those, and other translators can weigh in too. How your work reaches users Every translation goes through a review step before it ships, so don't worry about making mistakes. Nothing goes live until a reviewer approves it. We'll mark you all as reviewers once you start here soon, and once a language reaches 60% approved coverage, it ships with the next HexOS release and appears in the language picker. Below that threshold, the lang simply isn't offered yet, so nobody ever sees a half-translated interface. New strings will flow into Weblate automatically as we build new features, and the platform should email you when there's new material in your language. The full guide (with translation guidelines and how everything works under the hood) lives on the docs site: Translating HexOS. Let me know if you have any questions or something is off. Thank you!

When browsing the catalog of apps I come across some that I would like to install at a future date when I have finished setting up and working with the current apps I have. Could a bookmark, favorite or tag feature be added to the app catalog for easy finding in the future? I would also like to add some private internal text notes about the various apps in the console, like: why it interested me, when I am hoping to install it, when I added it, some quick reminders, any issues I had with the app. Ways I could see this growing later (dreams): Batch installing all bookmarked apps, or batch uninstall Sharing the bookmarked apps list with others, so they can quickly setup the same configuration Export notes and app details for documentation (or even just a good copy paste format) Estimate resources needed for bookmarked apps (better planning before pressing install, or evaluating what the performance impact of several apps is) Maintain multiple bookmark lists for quick config changes Instead of bookmarks it could be a tag system for various actions, such as deployment on a cluster of HexOS machines, turning on and off batches of apps, in multi-admin scenarios they can be used to propose apps for approved install Issues I could foresee: People might abuse the notes features and literally put account names and passwords in the notes box Resource calculation could be difficult Could introduce a fair amount of complexity when the team is still trying to get to a good stable long term state

Hi team, so I have been experiencing issues with the HEXos dock not being available randomly. Been using Dozzle and it looks like every 21 minutes or so the container restarts. (Nick, you should have some of these logs in your dms) Nick and Gerod have been helping trouble shoot various things over the last month. I have Deleted HEXos from truenas and reinstalled it at least twice now. And the issues has not resolved. It has gotten bad enough that I was unable to update nextcloud and have had to delete it. But cannot install it through HEX because the container resets and the install stalls. My question is: - Can I reinstall HEXos from the USB? Would that help? - If I do a fresh install will the apps and data remain or will that reset everything? - If I don't reset the pools, the data should remain? Can I reinstall the apps and run them with the existing confis? Thanks.

Following up on this — the fix is implemented and will ship in an upcoming release. You were exactly right about the root cause: the stock 172.17.0.0/12 base isn't a valid /12 boundary, so Docker canonicalizes it to 172.16.0.0/12 and allocates from 172.16.0.0/24 upward. On new installs going forward, HexOS now checks the subnets in use on the box during setup and picks the first /16 in the 172.17–172.31 range that doesn't overlap any of them, instead of leaving the stock default in place. A few notes on scope: Existing installs are deliberately left as-is. Changing the address pool on a system with deployed apps renumbers container networks and forces a redeploy of everything, so we won't touch it automatically. Your midclt call docker.update workaround is the right fix for an existing system, and it's safe to keep — HexOS only replaces the pool when it's still the untouched stock default, so a customized pool like yours won't be overwritten. One limitation of the automatic pick: it can only avoid subnets the NAS actually has an interface on. A 172.x VLAN or VPN range elsewhere on your network is invisible to it — that's the case a UI setting for the pool config covers, which is still on our list as a follow-up. Thanks again for the detailed diagnosis — it made this a straightforward fix!

Hello. Thanks for taking the time to write this. We did see the point of this and will roll it in to HexOS. Not sure when it will be releasaed but it will do this on new installs going forward once it's implimented. We don't want to cause any issues for anyone that's not currently affected.

I made a quick guide on how to share any installed service via Tailscale to your friends or yourself. Requires access to the truenas UI, a the moment Hexose custom script don't expose all features needed for this. https://gist.github.com/mellester/fabc2d0e734d5a34c10778ecd0ea0646

At this time we are not separating our forums to have a section for each curated app. While i can see the benefit of it, today would would need 40 sections many of which would have little if any use. At this time https://hub.hexos.com/forum/11-applications/ is the correct location.

Yeah I fully understand. I'm new to it all also. It's good to hear others inputs. 🙂 I appreciate it.

I answere the way I didn because I asked pretty much the same question several months ago but it seems the community wasn't ready to compare apps or talk about what they used. Perhaps thing are different now since we have had more time to load apps through TureNAS.

Thanks for the reply, very good insight for me being new to home server stuff. I do have things automated with Google home system currently I would say. More or less looking for other then tailscale and jellyfin, what would be the programs that are "essential" some would say. Hopefully that clears up more.

There already is kinda. It's true it is a small list of the curated apps and represents mostly problem child apps that didn't play nice to start (Immich, i'm looking at you). I'm not sure if they meant it to do what you're looking for of it was more a way to pull the issues out of all the other forum categories and put then in one place. Now that you have called it out, lets see what happens.

Oh boy, where to start. Have you integrated the new NAS into you home infrastructure? Do you want to learn TrueNAS (or at least try it out)? Do you have things around the house you want to automate? Are there young people in your house that may want to learn computers/networking/Nas in general? You have at least 40 curated apps that cover a lot of different jobs and over 400 apps in the TrueNAS catalog, many of which will not be curated. And if that is not enough, docker (in its many forms) open up thousands more apps. If you want to go big, setup Jellyfin or Emby to be accessible to the outside world in a secure way then show us how you did it. I believe a few folks have it working through Tailscale but a real challenge would be to get it working on a smart TV in the home of your folks or any 'computer challenged' person.. While this is just a challenge off the top of my head, there will be many like this going forward. Eshtek is still focusing on core development and general app curations so it could be a while before they start taking on work like this. So if nothing else appeals to you (and you have the time), jump into the catalogs and see what calls out to you. I find that when I look at the curated apps as they are announced I catch myself saying 'Why curate that?' or 'What do people need that for?'. But when someone says what they use it for its often a facepalm or duh. That is now especially true for the self hosted stuff you do want companies using to train AI. If you don't already have a mental list, your not really trying so go for it.

Hi, I finally gotten around to building the server and the install. I've had a key since launch just finally gotten around to actually using it. Is there any cool things to do with the server other then tail scale and jellyfin??

Hi there, I wonder why there is no update in the "Curated Apps" section in the forum. When i have questions about a freshly curated app, or i wnat to check if an bigger update results in failuers I'm not exactly sure where to open a post to keep everything organized or where to look... I think there should be a section for every curated app Are there plans to update the forum? greetings

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you.
