Good observation, i'll see if i can look into that hypothesis

HexOS is officially still in Beta, and they're planning to release more by the end of the year. I know that doesn't help you now, but 🤷‍♀️ Beta. I'm in the same boat about JellyFin I gave up because it was just too much for me, and now just hanging out waiting.

Thanks! Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

balenaEtcher works for me in UEFI mode

I noticed also this pattern.

A backup of the Truenas config file is always a good idea. What you could consider is to buy two 128 GB sata SSDs and use them as OS mirror. You can buy a TLC sata 128 gb SSD for approx. 10 to 15 euros. I expect the $ price will be the same. You have a very nice system with pretty good components. I would spend the extra $30,- Just my 2 cents

Could this be linked to reinstall vs reclaim? Those cases which I noticed which wiped the drives were all reinstalls of Hexos as in this case. Other cases w/o data loss were reclaims of an existing installation. I didn't look into every single case, but this was a pattern I noticed.

I had the same issue. I had it plugged into an access point. When I instead plugged it directly into my router it showed up.

I haven't actually looked into how to do this myself. I'm still running a test server 😅 I would probably just follow along to a youtube video. Officially yes but there are workarounds for at least maintaining your storage. i'm not sure yet how nicely hexos plays with restoring app setups for config files.

I had a similar issue. I originally used Ventoy to boot the HexOS ISO. Once I used balenaEtcher it worked fine, even in UEFI mode.

There is an API under the hood. https://api.hexos.com E.g. to restart HexOS it's POST to https://api.hexos.com/server/yourserverid/restart But without API keys you'd have to use cookies and because it's not public it could change at any moment.

I should probably have thought of a grinder, but my rack is underneath an IKEA butchers block which is my desk, so I didn't want to set that on fire. Or the carpeted floor in my office....

Oooh this is a *very* good idea. I will get onto this right away. Do you have any recommended tutorials on automating this backup to OneDrive / Google Drive? I am under the assumption that as of right this moment, if it dies and I restore my TrueNAS I can't bring it back into Hex, but this will be something that will be possible in the future.

I tried that could not get it to work. Think I will uninstall Hexos and reinstall truenas watch YouTube videos on how to. Bought this application Thinking it would of be easy to work it. This makes the fourth time I will have to reinstall the application and start all over. But thanks for sharing

very cool setup. One recommendation, since you are using a perviously used and older ssd as your boot drive, look into auto backing up your truenas config file maybe in the cloud. In case the boot drive fails itll just make the process slightly less painful. That said its probably a good idea for everyone to do this

last i heard it was coming sometime in 2025 with the version 1.0 update.

I imagine you will have to go into the truenas interface and configure the jellyfin app to see the same directories as plex. That said i am far from an expert on the matter, heck i only bothered to install jellyfin myself last week.

question did you have a raid z1 pool or a mirror pool? I'm just trying to figure out why hitting delete works for some users and not for others

I setup plex with all media on the server. I install jellyfin but I can't find a way to access the media already on the server. Unless I have double copy of everything. Did anyone figured out how to access your media using jellyfin? Thanks

I am wondering when we can host the deck.hexos.com dashboard locally as I do not want to always access it via the web.

The tin snips broke my heart, Bring it to me so I can hit it with the plasma or 4in grinder lol

the 630 is a good server chassis. they can be a power hog just make sure you do some proper maintenance and give it some new thermal paste

I just want a HBA and a 48 drive JBOD

Hello and greetings HexOS community and developers- I hope this post finds you well. I wanted to ask a question in regards to the partnership between IXSystems and HexOS, and supporting the development. I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for all the incredible work that has gone into HexOS thus far. In an effort to express some interest in supporting both the TrueNAS and HexOS projects, I wanted to ask if whether buying a license or two for HexOS would be indirectly also be donating to IXSystems due to the partnership, also knowing that it would help fund HexOS itself as well. Thanks for your time in advance! From- DTLegit

I'm sorry if I missed it on the road app or feature list. The biggest thing I use Synology DSM for is syncing files from family members computers to my NAS remotely using Synology Drive Client and backing up their computers. I didn't see this listed for Hexos, if this is available, I'm ready to jump ship from dsm. My family is not computer savvy so I need something turnkey easy to deploy over the phone. Sounds like immich is the way to go for photo backup instead of synology photos and buddy backup is coming this year? Right now I have my movie files on the Nas and a separate computer to transcode with a gpu. How does running hexos and transcoding streams of movies affect performance? Would I want to keep the same model I have currently with two separate machines or could I combine them? Anything else I should consider? Thanks in advance! I'm excited to see where this project goes!
