ram speed can help a little bit but more ram will vastly out perform faster ram for most homelab usecases.

Renaming pools is not a feature that the underlying TrueNAS os supports. You can however rename the pool using command line. Automating pool naming helps us provide a better support experience by allowing us to provide premade shell commands for support with everything filled out correctly instead of having our users modify the commands.

Perhaps that's true but it does not change potential involvement. If anything, an attempt to hide the activity is even more suspicious if anyone is watching and actually cares.

Yes, that's exactly what Buddy Backup is intended to do.

I would argue that adding a VPN tunnel to qBittorrent, which is already offered by Estek, makes them neither more nor less “responsible.”

I bought a second HexOS license as part of the holiday sale with the though of having an off-site backup of what is on my local server. However, I have not yet found any UI in HexOS to accomplish this. Is this a feature planned for the future? I figured with Buddy Backup on the roadmap, I should be able to do that with my own servers.

Does the RAM speed matter much for server applications? As I understand, it may not be worth it or have very minimal upsides to have some crazy gamer RAM in the server given that most of the time it'll just idle. I came across some slower (2933) DDR4 Server ram from a lot and thinking of replacing the NAS ram with that and repurpose the faster stuff for something else.

Can confirm that this fix still works, I had this happen after HexOS updated today.

Not worth it? Maybe for you, but fixing a very basic mistake by HexOS should be worth it (especially when SMB and Locations are easily manageable). Since HexOS doesn't ask for a name when we create them, renaming becomes more important. When you have multiple pools and their name is HDDs, HDDs-1, HDDs-2 it's stupid. A VERY basic feature for the creation of pools is missing.

Hmm. I ask this obviously not knowing what all these 'arr stack' jobs really do but if Eshtek get involved in making a torrent process bigger and better, do they take on some potential responsibility how this is used?

Here is what Jon has said on the subject for HexOS. "The problem with SMART is that it leads to a lot of false positives. Users often replace drives too early due to a SMART notification that was being misinterpreted or overstated. SMART tries to be a crystal ball and predict when a drive is about to fail, but a lot of times it could be something totally unrelated to the drive that is causing SMART to act up (faulty SATA cable, bad PSU, etc.). In the world of TrueNAS, ZFS is the ultimate arbiter for deciding when a drive needs to be replaced. So I understand why TrueNAS doesn't feel the need to have a secondary "early warning system" when the system is already designed with fault-tolerance in mind. Furthermore it creates a giant burden of support as users constantly ask "well what does this SMART error mean to me?" I can tell you that from years of reading SMART data from customer systems, the answer on whether or not a drive replacement is really required is more often than not "it depends." Users that believe in using SMART can install the Scrutiny app. Our official stance on this is that ZFS is there to protect you from device failure, so SMART is just not necessary."

Hello, You shouldn't rename pools. It could brake SMB shares and defualt locations. Not worth it.

That would be so nice to have something like that for novice user.

I encountered the same issue overnight. I was able to update the app in TrueNAS interface to 1.3.10 (can't recall the previous version) while it was in the "Deploying" state using the "three dots" next to "Edit" under "Application Info". Server still up as of 8 minutes ago.

You have my word! Thanks! I certainly wish computer cases were a bit more easy going with their color and designs, but I guess that's what DIY is for 😄

Hi All! I recently stumbled upon @DomSmith's topic on a power efficient server and while I mostly understand how it was achieved and that I definitely can't replicate the same power consumption with my hardware, I wanted to see if anyone has any tips or tricks on minimizing the rig's power consumption while idle. I did read up on this forum and off it about drive spin-down and it sounds like a gamble I'd like to avoid for drive longevity. In the long run and with today's prices, I feel like a bit more power is worth the drive health. I also poked around the MB BIOS settings like power saving and C states, but had to backtrack as that severely impacted sudden loads like LLM loading up with server just locking up until restart. If there is any know-how out there, please share it! PS. possibly not the right section for this, but only one I found on hardware discussions.

yeah i would love that too i think ive asked it before here but in case its a new post so +1

ive also asked this last year july below the community post of what applications we want guessing from how empty it is here it isnt added yet sadly (or never will be maybe)

Sorry for an extra message, but +1 that having some way to set up recycle bin through HexOS would be great, since average users probably wouldn't wanna play around with scripts or other more technical stuff to enable this functionality.

Hello Eshtek team, Online are many guides to set up a perfect QBittorrent, Sonar, Radar, and Lidar setup with Gluetun for maximum convenience. With the new additions to scripts, would it be possible to make an all-in-one solution so that one just has to pass one's VPN credentials at the beginning and then everything is set up?

Hm, yeah, looks like the new version of TrueNAS doesn't support recycle bin for "Default Share" folders. @PenguinKingdoes your setup still work after the update?

I love the purple 3d printed case! It's really sweet.

Bump.

Well, I don't recommend either one I tried but they were a fun distraction for a day. It also shows the overall ability of HexOS/TrueNAS that, in my case, it ran on a PI 5, loaded PLEX and played a video off an external HHD Not well mind you but it worked. And please don't tell the admins I said that because I will just have to deny it. I have my reputation to consider. 😉

radarr, sonarr, prowlarr, qbittorrent have already been curated into 1 click install applications Portainer, Adguard Home, Karakeep, Homepage, NZBget, RustDesk, and Tautulli are available on the TrueNAS app store for manual installation Ombi can be installed via docker compose or you can use seerr to do a similar task.
