Thanks for the heads up on the dock, I'll look for an alternate solution.

Now that Plex has decided to increase their costs and charge people for accessing their own data. I would like to see a jellyfin installer.

Is this only an NVIDIA issue? as in if I buy and AMD GPU, will it just pass through with no issues or do I need to buy NVIDIA? Thanks,

Hey guys, I have a few problems with Immich. When I installed it, I just pressed install in Hex OS. Now I have the problem that Immich does not recognize the used disk space correctly. It says it is about 1MB. But in the admin panel of Immich I see 90GB for my user. I also don't know where the pictures are saved, I would like to save them somewhere else as a backup but I don't know how to get to the files. Can anyone help me with these problems?

can you see the truenas dashboard ? you can use something like angry IP scanner to find it on the network

i have one that i need to pick up and i thought about trying it on this hardware

I just built a new computer with a 7700k on an MSI z270 sli MOBO. The computer is etherneted directly into the router and I cannot see it on the dashboard. I do not run a VPN and I am on the same network, I have also tried my computer which is also plugged directly into the router with no success. I have never used TrueNAS so I have no idea what I am doing. What should I do?

I read online to check this box, save changes, and restart plex services. It appears to have worked for me.

Did you ever figure this out? This is happening to me too and sometimes Plex tells me that I don't have a direct connection when I'm literally watching on the same network locally.

BTW, a first view of Datacenter Manager https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxRWijchp3M

One of the things I am struggling with is my docker strategy. It's about the question: All Docker containers in 1 VM or 1 VM per container? See also this link: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/all-docker-containers-in-1-vm-or-1-vm-per-container.141367/ At the moment install 1 docker in 1 LXC container. I did this without any strategy upfront. First I had to face the learningcurve of installing docker. But now I have a few dockers which I use daily, it's good to think about it. In this setup I can backup and restore individual dockers without influencing other dockers. This is for me a pro. But it's creating extra overhead. That's a con. Do you have any thoughts about the best docker strategy?

Your post was hilarious, I see you have attempted all reasonable responses including sacrifices to the gods (may Hephaestus hear your plea). Posting this so I get an answer if you do.

i dunno of anyone that has but hexos most likely will install just fine onto either or. That said we do not recommend using external storage such as the sabrent 4 bay you mentioned. Many of these external multi bay docks also can have issues with truenas/hexos where the operating system will only properly detect 1 drive.

Has anyone tried to install this on an older intel Mac mini or trash can Mac Pro? I have both that were set to be recycled and was thinking of turning one of them into a host and connect a Sabrent 4bay hard drive docking station for storage.

It seems like the only solution would be to have the possibility to change from WYSIWYG to plain mode.

Probably. What does TrueNAS UI show?

Thank you 🙂 You also have a nice couple of possibilities and future proofing options with your setup =D My Proxmox and Unraid Server are both in a 19''inch case. I plan to get a startech.com rack, but I still don't know what I need exactly, I want to have rails, but the rails I found are ludicrously expensive etc. So it's foreseen to get a rack but so far it's still in the planning stage. Why portainer? Because it was the only thing I knew back when I switched to it. But only half my stacks are managed by portainer, the other half are good old docker compose up -d containers. Portainer is so infuriating to use if you want to mount files and folders and you cannot use extension of compose files (immich HW acceleration and ML for example). So yes, I had a pretty bad time with portainer =D. I'll have a look at Dockge, definitely! Thanks for the tip 🙂

I like your setup! Certainly future proof. Do you also have a 19 inch rack or only a 19 inch case. I don't have space for a 19 inch rack, so I have my focus on 10 inch rack devices. Is there a specific reason you use portainer? I am more in favour of Dockge. Datacenter manager is only a first alpha release. Perhaps I will give it a try when it's in beta. Now it's to early.

Good call, yes, I am using SwitftKey

Would it be possible to keep the opening post editable in the show and tell subforum? This way, you can keep this post updated and users don't need to go through the topic to find all the changes or latest setup. Not sure if this is possible.

Hey @Mawson I have exactly the same issue. Are you using the Microsoft Swiftkey Keyboard? Or another 3rd party keyboard? If you do, can you try using the stock Samsung Keyboard to see if then you can working with mentions and smilies? Swiftkey is the issue for me, but I'm not going back to the Samsung keyboard just for this forum. 🙂

Oh true, I just saw replaceable DDR5 memory, but I didn't notice this was only for the S1 :s Ah yes, the famous, next, next, next, wait was there something important there? Nah probably not 😂 I'm also following the VM development in Truenas and if it turns out to be comparable to proxmox, I might run Hexos on bare metal, but so far, Proxmox is there to stay in my setup🙂 This datacenter manager is looking like an awesome tool, are you already using the alpha version of it? I went full consumer grad HW in my setup, you can find the details here, although I have installed some more apps in the meantime. 🙂 https://hub.hexos.com/topic/1850-psychos-little-homelab/

The Lincstation N2 has 16GB LPDDR5 (Non-upgradeable), so 16GB it is. I already use CPU type host, and the i440fx is a click, click, next mistake, ha ha 🙂 . But for my test setup it's good enough and i didn't feel the need to change it, because it works. But I will use Q35 in my final setup. Truenas is also improving the VM engine and will become more and more a virtualisation platform. But for now the sweetspot of HexOs / Truenas is still good and reliable network storage. Proxmox gives me a lot of flexibility and is my virtualisation platform of choice. In the past I used ESXi, but since the Broadcom takeover I moved to Proxmox. vCenter was a nice tool and Proxmox is developing something like that: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_Datacenter_Manager_Roadmap Are you still using Proxmox? Or did you fully move to HexOs/Truenas? I am also curious about what you are using as server hardware.

Shouldn't the below show 1.5Tb usable ? (or actually 1.44Tb after formatting etc).

Can you not just upgrade the memory of the Lincstation N2? You could try if it works with the module from your DL30N. With the recent changes and improvements with Docker in Truenas you might not even need Proxmox in the future anymore and you could even run everything docker from Hexos/Truenas. If, however you also need VMs, Proxmox is still the way to go. Also Q35 instead of i440fx in combination with CPU type Host is supposed to give you the best performance 🙂
