Nope, nothing. Well, it seems that the order didn't go through. Might purchase this month if I fail to set up something like TrueNAS🙂 Thanks for your help!

Hello All, noob here. I have downloaded the needed file to my PC, used the BalenaEtcher to mount. I am trying to mount the ISO to a flash drive, and it keeps splitting the flash drive into 3 new drives. Perhaps I am just reading the instructions wrong, but I was just wanting to install on the flash drive then boot to the SSD in my server. Advise if I should just mount the ISO to the SSD and then move it to the new PC.

Yup its from the hexos.com domain. Try checking all the email addresses you use. Unless you deleted the email or didn't end up purchasing it you should have something.

I remember buying Hex OS almost a year ago (right after the LTT video), but I can't seem to find the email about it. Is it from the same hexos.com domain? I might have cancelled it, or it might not have gone through (I don't see it in my history). I just got a NAS, and if I have a license, I want to try out Hex OS, but also don't want to double-pay for it 😄

Might want to have https://hexos.com/blog/ redirect there also. Navigating directly still goes to the old blog.

Thank you to you and everyone that put together these tutorials. I was excited to give this a try, but even with the tutorials, this seems to be a less than straightforward process. On the first guide linked, I immediately encountered discrepancies between how my Truenas was configured/behaved and how the guide assumed your Truenas would function. First, the dataset I created did not seem to have the same "strip ACLs" button shown. My permissions section looked a little different as a result, but I feel comfortable tweaking the list manually to make it match the guide. The bigger issue for me was that I couldn't get my computer (MacOS via terminal) to SSH into the Truenas server. I kept getting a permissions denied error. I tried a small amount of googling, but I'm not sure I have the time or patience to try to attempt this. The second tutorial seems a little less beginner friendly. I thiiiink I could try to figure it out, but immediately after my first attempt of tweaking the permissions, I'm getting endless "operation not permitted" errors in the terminal. This is clearly user error on my end, but I wanted to post this for other HexOS users here - I definitely feel like I am the target audience of introductory homelabber that doesn't care to tinker with these things and I wanted to share my experience for other's visibility before they invest the time themselves. Unfortunately, I think it will be a better use of my time to wipe and start over on my immich backup. Hopefully they stay true to their word and this is the last time they make this sort of change, or I will probably look elsewhere for backing up my photos in the future. Thank you again to those that took the time to try to document guides on this process!

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.
