Wait! There is a list? And your not sharing?!? 😉

I'm not on the apps team, but I think that if the app you are installing is popular in the TrueNAS catalog, it will probably have a curated app at some point. It could be days or months from now. We don't publish them because things happen like last week where we were about to publish the app and found out the app itself has a problem with it. If you want an app today that you don't have and you feel capable or want to spend the time on it, then just follow the Nike slogan and JUST DO IT! Learning how to use TrueNAS is a great thing for the crew who is in our forums. The ones who like to be in here are likely the ones who can figure this out and make themselves better for it. If we come out with a curitaed version, well that's just part of playing the game. We want this to help people who need it most. So, things like gaming server apps come after the other apps that are more geared to replace the Googles, Apples, Netflix, and so on that have monthly fees. When it comes to the vision of the product, we have so many opportunities that it's just the time to implement it with our small team. We've already said buddy backups are next and it's coming this year. Then VMs, and once that is done we have a list to choose from. Sometimes things change so we don't want to say this is what's next. TrueNAS went back and forward with how they ran the vms over the last few years, which is why we pushed it.

I'm not sure which apps are on the list but I'm not aware of any that are Game Servers as of yet.

You have an interesting but somewhat tired point and you are definitely not alone in your feeling. If I were in a brutally honest mood I would say they don't know what they are doing. Now let's be clear. If you look at HexOS, they clearly know what they are doing in coding the product because we have a working NAS. And we have curated apps that work quite a bit more often than not. The brutal part comes in what you ask what is the vision. Are we going to get a focus on mostly more curated apps over the next few years? Or during that time will they give the recent development work a chance to settle and focus back on the additional revenue discussion? And if you were here at the time, you saw @jonpget jumped for the statements in different places saying version 1.0 would be out by the end of the quarter. So from that standpoint, why even say anything between releases when your going to get heat and a daily countdown by someone in the forums anyway? This is just my opinion so take it or leave as you will. Like thousands of companies, one or more people had a big idea. Then they probably got like minds together to evaluate the feasibility of this idea and decided it could work and would fill a gap in the NAS market. To fund this big idea they went looking for supporters ad found some who agreed it was a good idea. Here is where things get sketchy because with the money came what should have been supportive advertising like the LTT videos and all the reaction videos to that original video. It looked like someone lite a match then dumped a 100 gallon can tank on that match the way folks bought into the black friday sales. Eshtek has been playing catch-up in one form or another ever since. I doubt things are going to change until they make good on all the initial promises and have time to sit down and breath and do some much needed planning. And I think Eshtek knows the situation they are in. So if any of what I have said is true, things will remain like this until the big promises are met in a year or two. Yeah I know I am doing the same thing I just said Esthek folks are going but really, what other choice is there?

I don't know if others are feeling this but I'll say my piece, I'm glad to see more app curations coming up now and saw there's a beta program, but it's a bit frustrating that beyond the occasional blog posts I don't really know what's coming up in the near future and to plan accordingly. Note, I'm NOT talking about exact timescales or that I want something faster. It's not an issue about whether a particular curated app will come next week or next year. The issue is that there's no specifics on what's being considered and any ballpark about which order they'll come in or how far off they are. So I have absolutely no idea what's worth holding off on for a little while because a curated app of it might come up imminently, or what isn't planned for curation any time soon (or at all) and that it might be worth diving into Truenas UI and setting up myself with the help of some AI. As one or two examples, I setup Navidrome myself in Truenas about a month or so ago myself....and then it got added to the curated app list just a week after that. Now I'm going to just leave that as-is and hope it doesn't cause any issues since I don't want to risk migrating anything and losing settings or metadata. On the other hand, there are a few apps I'm looking to setup (e.g. frigate, romm, audiobookshelf, mealie, papra, jdownloarder2) and some can be very complex and time consuming to figure out, so I don't know if I should wait or go ahead on spending hours on these. As a few examples of other projects I've seen where they give this kind of granular detail (without timeframes, and while being upfront of what is also not being considered or what is a maybe): Obsidian Roadmap - Obsidian Roadmap | MacroFactor Roadmap | Immich Roadmap 2022 — present | Notesnook

Also looking forward to support for this!

Power on could be from an other device with Wake-on-LAN or within the BIOS. Spinning down is a pain. It doesn't work for me anymore since TrueNAS removed S.M.A.R.T settings. Shutdown is the easiest: A cronjob I write about my journey in this blog post: https://www.crazy-memorys.ch/IfixedIT/?p=476

Had another meeting with IX (TrueNAS) and they take owership that it's their issue. They think it is somewhat resolved in TrueNAS version 26 but we gave them users diag files they submitted to use plus screenshots we took during troubleshooting. We see an issue with it and IPv6 that we informed them about. They have our ticket. We'd like to get this resolved as well.

I wish there was a better way to handle the same issue reported across multiple forums but to be upfront, that fix is not new at all. While it's true the team has chosen not to answer every instance of this issue along with a bunch of Immich issues because they are popping up all over the place. You will have to search the forums along with reporting an issue if you really want a timely answer.

the python script fixed it for me truenas version 25.10.4 - Goldeye hexOS App Version: 1.4.3

Everything may last longer when you keep them in within a certain temp range. I've seen a lot of things over time for hard drives. The issue the better you cool the drives the more you give up. In data centers fans are running full speed most the time. In a house you usually don't want all that noise. We like hot swap bays so it's easy to replace a drive but that means you got drives right next to each out sharing all the head each drive make. I've seen 5 inch drive bay adapters for hard drive that turn a 3.5 inch drive into a 5 inch size drive which is 1.5 inches of heat sync around the drive to give the drive the best way to cool down with air cooling. I've purchased it and ran it in a server for years like this. You can't have this and make it hotswapable. Had to shutdown the server and open it up and unscrew it all to replace drives. I didn't have any fail which is the point of it but when increasing the size you have a lot more work to do. Thanks for posting your request. If there was a tool like this we'd think about adding it. Thanks

Yes you can ignore it for now. I beleive we fixed this in dev but not sure when it will be pushed out. Might come with a host of other things.

I have no clue, to be honest it does not solve it on my system, I have just been ignoring it as the system works fine, but it would be great if it solved itself on an update :/

Not too familiar with itunes Media server but you are able to connect a Mac to a nas having the nas appear as a storage drive. Personally i use jellyfin on my server and infuse on my Apple tv to run my media server

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this so if it should be in a different location please direct me and i will re-post there. I have been considering a nas for quite a while but i have a specific use case that I am curious if this solution can provide. I have a very large media library (movies and TV shows - some purchased through itunes and others ripped from my own disks) that i watch/playback using AppleTVs in different rooms of my home, and i would like to stop running iTunes on my desktop with large storage and instead move to a nas. I know some NAS solutions mention that they support itunes media server as an app but i don't like their platforms. I do like the essentially agnostic platform that HexOS works with but i am wondering if it has or will in the future have the ability to run itunes media server with all my media on the NAS. I have not found any method to migrate all of my media to a different platform for in home streaming since at probably a quarter of the library was purchased through iTunes so it won't playback in other applications due to their DRM. If you could provide direction or insight regarding HexOS's capabilities it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

As of 6:10 PM CST on 6/8/2026 services have been restored.

We are currently experiencing an outage of services at deck.hexos.com. We are working on the issue and will report back once services have been restored.

Is Is this still the best way to resolve this issue? I've gotten these notifications every few hours since changing IPs and running some commands that affect websocat (as directed by HexOS in their Discord server in a pinned support thread).

I appreciate the response. I imagine if it was easy somebody probably would have already integrated it into TrueNAS. Maybe you can use you relationships with the leadership and make it a feature request ;)

Also had problems. I set it up in a VM, it can't connect to HexOS because of network (they have different IPs). So I installed Tailscale / Netbird on both and they can talk via that.

Unfortunately fan controller functionality is not built into truenas scale at this time and there are no fan controller apps on the truenas app catalog for us to curate.

The HA app is very limited compared to the full OS, so I hope the VM is still on the roadmap. I had HA in a VM on my HexOS instance of TrueNAS. I could never figure out Network bridging, so I couldn't run backups to my NAS or access my media libraries. Very annoying. I eventually got fed up and put HA on its own mini pc. So if HexOS can set that up automatically I think that'd be an important (optional) feature of a VM deployment tool.

I'd like a way to set up fan behavior within the HexOS dashboard (or curate an app that handles it). My motherboard bios doesn't allow me any control on drive temps, so my drives are always a little hotter than I'd prefer.

I'd like a way in the HexOS dashboard to schedule power on / off times for my NAS, so I can have it turn off when I know I won't be needing it, and other optimizations like spinning down drives to save power at opportune times. My NAS has been using more power than I expected so I'd like some built-in dummy-proof ways to help with that.
