I haven't used Nextcloud or Opencloud but I imagine their file management solutions are similar to Google Drive. Paperless-NGX is like the "more advanced organization" option compared to Google Drive from my point of view. Paperless allows you to ingest documents through a variety of means (upload button, watched folder, reading emails and automatically saving attachments or the email based on rules). Then it tries to apply machine learning to extract the document date and other info like who the document is regarding, what kind of document it is, where it should be stored, all based on what you have manually added metadata for. If I have a receipts document type, it will learn what I consider a receipt and assign that automatically. It also OCRs all the documents and stores the text so it's searchable later. You can add custom metadata fields like a global document ID (I'm told). You can then search, view, organize, share these documents in the paperless web UI. You can customize how it stores all these documents on disk so you can still access them outside of Paperless if you want. There are a few apps that allow direct "scan to paperless" functionality with decent cropping. You don't scan documents so each page is a file. You ingest a PDF with multiple pages normally so you would scan with your phone or a scanner, then import to paperless. Though you can ingest images and other stuff.

So the difference between this and say the core Nextcloud or Opencloud is Paperless ngx isn't just storing documents. It's also scanning them and allowing filtering based on filters? Or do I have to scan a document first so each file is a single page?

Wow, I'd never heard of that before, but it looks awesome. Something like that would provide the motivation for going through my box of 10 year old documents that I've not bothered to digitize yet.

Is there a way to cancel the task so it isn't stuck? Or so that I can try and re-install it? Edit: I had to manually install it from the TrueNAS UI, then uninstall it from HexOS to get it unstuck.

I am trying to install Immich and it has been stuck installing for almost 30 minutes. I have successfully installed other apps, but cannot cancel or get Immich to complete.

We moved the blog to the docs site. I'll chat with @csmanel about getting RSS support for it.

Is the RSS feed supposed to have this blog post? I only see five entries and the last on is May. Also, only the Q! status update is listed. I'm wondering if I have the right one.

You nailed it! We are loving playwright.

I wanted to ask, what tool you are using, because the blog doesn't specifically mention it, but then I noticed it's Playwright. Probably the best choice. I hope these tests continue to grow and keep making your lives easier.

I fixed it that night. We migrated all the previous blog posts to the doc site as well as updated the link to it from the home page.

Meta question: is the blog on the main site still live or does it link to the docs.hexos blog now? I think Linus called that out as weird on WAN a couple weeks ago.

Kudos to the entire team for their hard work on this. Proper testing is a key component of our focus on delivering an excellent user experience and will continue to be integral to our mission. Great work to all involved!

Thanks to Upon furthur digging in the truenas maze I have found that the folder mentioned above (SSDs/Applications/home-assistant/postgres_data) has the ACL Mode set to Discard, but I cant change it.

I ran into the same problem, and this fixed it. I think the install script for HexOS for this app needs to be modified slightly. Made a data set in the home-assistant folder, give it a name like "config" or "data", and modify the "Host Path" for "Home Assistant Config Storage" to be in that new dataset. Now I need to look at how to remove a bunch of junk from a folder without removing the datasets I want.

Sorry, I just realised that this thread should be Moved, but I cant figure out how to move it. Could one of the Mods please move to https://hub.hexos.com/forum/30-home-assistant/

It looks like the App curation process has something amiss. here is the error from the truenas section. I gather ACL is something to do with permissions? Can anyone decipher this so i can fix it?

I think if we are honest almost everyone would say they were disappointed in how this startup has gone including Eshtek. I don't think all of our disappointment is justified because it has nothing to actually do with HexOS. However, you have hit on two points that are hard to argue with. Why are we paying up to $200 to test this application? And TrueNAS what? As for the paying to test question, I guess I am starting to do the same (well kind of) as you because I have set it aside to wait for go live. Plex and Immich are the only current curated apps I would ever use and until the serious discussions on how to secure the NAS start my machine is just a giant backup drive. And as for the current absolute requirement to use TrueNAS to do ALMOST anything including troubleshooting curated app failures. Well, if I am going to have to hire TrueNAS support to properly setup all non curated and some curated apps, I'm probably better off buying beer for my current Unraid support buddy. Like many others, I saw the LTT video and thought "Holly crap, someone finally built a system I can manage myself. I got in at the Black Friday price so HexOS on a mostly recycles server is still cheaper that a Synology or Ugreen prebuilt server. Storage seems to be the biggest cost but I have to pay that either way. I'm sure I will keep checking in and looking at the officially curated apps to see if anything looks interesting but unless there is a solid security option, it's all pretty irrelevant to me. My problem is that if I had to pay $299 what would I need to pull the trigger? That may be a tough uphill struggle for Eshtek if they want to attract people who are not at least serviceable in TrueNAS. So instead of looking at an the app we have today and deciding what it must be going to look like in 1, 2 and 5 years, we can wait and see what 1.0 looks like. I doubt though it will ever just be point and click.

Hey all! We've published a new blog post sharing some of the development work happening behind the scenes at HexOS. This time, we're highlighting our new end-to-end testing suite which is going to drastically help our development moving forward. Checkout the new blog post for more details! The docsite has also been updated to include two awesome user created guides regarding Immich. To be fully transparent, we are still figuring out what exactly the HexOS official solution looks like, but want to provide you with as much support as possible in the meantime. docs link: guide by @Forsaken (hub link) docs link: guide by @G-M0N3Y-2503 (hub link) Here is also a guide directly from the Immich community. If you have more specific questions/issues with Immich please put them in the Immich support section. You may have also seen that we are hiring! This role (along with our end-to-end testing) will be crucial for keeping up with apps and staying ahead of issues like the one we saw with Immich. Thank you to everyone who applied! We’ll be conducting interviews soon and are looking forward to chatting with you all.

WHERE I AM: I'm currently running HexOS on a standard PC build using older parts - Ryzen 3700x Nvidia 1660 Super 32gb DDR4 3200 RAM 5 4TB HDDs (storage) and small nvme for OS HOW I USE IT CURRENTLY: I use the HexOS machine in the garage to stream movies, music, store and view photos, and store old work documents. The machine runs 24/7 because I use them to access music from pretty much all over the house, and the family streams at random times in the day across the house, especially as we start cutting off streaming services. WHY I WANT TO CHANGE THE SETUP: I have two primary reasons for wanting to change things around: 1) Over the course of about a year, I've had two separate failures in the pool - certain drives degraded and became unrecoverable within about 6 months of use (one in the first 6 months, another within the past month), and breaking down the standard PC case to identify the drive and remove it is a pain in the neck - I recognize that I should be printing the drive ID on the hdd (now) but I'm thinking of changing over to a hot-swap format with rack mounted servers with some cheap server computers I've found locally. 2) I want to start experimenting more with home lab projects and understanding networking. WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO: 1) Incorporate 2x Dell R330 servers ($40 each) as NAS, which each have 4x hot swap 3.5 HDD bays. 2) Use the 3700x machine as a transcoder to serve the media around the house (lots of smart tvs so want to make sure different video formats won't cause issues) FEASABILITY: 1) Getting the hardware itself isn't the problem, but I want to know if this plan is possible in terms of functioning with HexOS 2) Even if feasible, does this plan make sense? Is there a "better" way to go about this, or am I tackling the problem entirely from the wrong the viewpoint? 3) Open to all other feedback.

I am not a beta tester, i know i bought a beta test software. My issue is that after almost a whole year i can scan the forums and most issues someone will state, you will need to access truenas to fix it. If i need to access the free software to fix the paid software then I been duped and mislead after a year.. I can see that the team has curated a few more apps and that's great, but I gave yet to see the VM workspace. Will that be a 1.0 release or 2.0, 3.0 etc.? Yes, I understand this is beta but I need more meat than little morsels here and there. Honestly I'm just blabbing I don't run hex because the only reason I got hex OS is to not have to figure things out in truenas and creating simple shares for backup failed and i had to access truenas to fix permission. At that point i gave up and would rather use my electricity for something else. Don't get me wrong im waiting for the day that i can just point and click and be done.

I have just setup a new server using a Minisforum MS-A2 all SSD. Have installed Homeassistant through the Curated App installer. I didnt modify any of the default settings. I went to do a Restore in Home Assistant via the upload backup option. The backup uploaded but failed to restore with: [Errno 16] Resource busy: PosixPath('/config/postgres_data') I tried a few more times but same I rebooted Hexos from the deck when i logged back in after the reboot i saw notifications: Any advice? have other people had any similar warnings? Thanks

yup never blindly trust ai, I don't mind using ai as a starting point, just gotta always make sure to verify for anything important.

oh that's what the google ai said could work, but being ai I didn't trust is XD. Thank you for that post. I just read through it and bookmarked the post that the guy posted there with kernel parameter info as well. I'll give that a shot later.

hmm its not something i've looked into for a while let me check with someone else.
