That's impressive, glad that it's working as you expected it =D Is your pool 2 now RaidZ2? 🙂 How do you intend to copy the files over? If the old server is Hexos/Truenas I would recommend replication task via network or just chuck the old drives in the new server and do a replication tasks from one pool to the other. If it's none Hexos/Truenas then good luck 😁 nah just kidding rsync is also awesome and if you leave it running you should be done in a week 🙂 Do you have an UPS for your setup?

I'm getting a UGREEN NASync DXP480T Plus shortly and I'm wondering if anyone has tried HexOS on that (or something similar)?

Building this server is finally done (after some amazon delays) i just started the transfer from my only server to the new one and uhm it might take weeks if not months just to transfer 50tb of data from one to the other. i gotta say it was rough. ill go into more detail later but new final plan changed to this Pool 1 (misc storage) 3 x 16 tb Seagate skyhawk ai hdd Pool 2 (main storage) 7 x 14 tb Seagate exos hdd 5 x 14tb Western Digital ultra star hdd metadata vdev 3x 870 evo 500gb pool 3 (apps pool) 2 x Intel Pro 5400s 240 GB pool 4 (iscusi pool) 3 x 2 tb Samsung 980 pro ssd (found another one in my ps5) im dead tired after software troubleshooting so more info to come after a nap

i can confirm that in hex its reading 10gig nic as 5gig as this network card come out of old server which was running truenas and was reading as 10gig

Hi, I have 2 offices where people create media and upload it to the respective NAS systems. I am looking for something, that will 1. Bring new data created in both offices to parity, with files copied into the other devices on their own. 2. I also want a third or even fourth backup in the future by connecting a new NAS in a third upcoming office, so multiple backups 3. ability schedule this data transfer for overnight/ with folder level granularity for things like a folder for sales reports should be backed up across multiple NAS devices instantly, while folders with video files for our ad platforms can be uploaded as per a schedule of my choosing Do you think HEX-OS could serve this purpose for me?

i agree here in Australia, is painfull using it so slow

that would be nice and beter info on the network icons and stuff

for now your best bet is to refer to this answer

So the simplest way that I do this is Via Tailscale, I have the mapped drive from Hexos Via the Ip given by Tailscale running in Cobian Backup to do complete backups "only transferring new files" from my home PC's data drive. I also have the same thing running with URbackup on hexos that does a complete backup of the whole C drive into a img incase of my laptop becoming lost or stolen.

What problems they had; It's a mobile chip, how did you found one? Did you build it or is premade? It feels like building something you risk the chance of having a les than ideal energy consumption. But buying something prebuild is going to be under powered or expensive. It's a server for only me and i think i am not interested in transcoding.

would love to see that

Nice!

just finshed building my server 64 ddr5 on amd 5 board with 8700g cpu and 15 hardrives

I would agree with above. I am currently running on a rather speedy Ryzen 7 7840HS with 64Gb RAM. I am being frustrated at how difficult it is to get the iGPU or NPU used for anything. When I pull the trigger for a proper build, it will likely be an Intel CPU. i5 or i7 or whatever they're calling them. I would like to know what others think, especially about these problems in the 13/14th generation chips. Desktop or Mobile chips? Would be fascinating to see something like the BeeLink ME Mini with a more capable CPU in there. Lunar Lake perhaps? But that might be straying into the power territory where a custom NAS build is necessary?

I found this link today. The creator got me with nextcloud setup really easy.

I was a bit hasty in my NAS construction and ordered a 500gb m.2 for the bootdrive. Since the OS footprint and whatever else I do with my NAS is extremely basic, the 500gb m.2 is a bit overkill and now I want to downgrade to like a 128gb drive. Ive already ported over quite a bit of data to my array, and dont really want to export it back to their original drives. What would be best course of action to keep the data intact whilst doing the bare minimum? lol. Ive read that cloning the current bootdrive to the smaller drive and plugging and playing should work? Any help with this matter is appreciated.

Hey people! I am with a mental health based nonprofit and I was wondering if HexOS has any discounts for such organizations. Thank you kindly.

ok thankx

Hey, I'm not sure if I understand you question, but yes you will find a link to download the OS which you then need to install as a new OS. During the installation process you can choose to skip the creation of a new pool if you want to import an existing pool. This however has then to be done in the truenas GUI. As for Hexos, it only supports Truenas 24.10.2.X. 25.04 is currently not supported and will break some functions/displays in Hexos.

the one question i presume i want to no will they give a link to to install a fresh and when i buy as still sorting the server out as i run three truenas servers all have Version: 25.04.1 on them thankyou as soon as i get reply hoping so i will hit buy button

Hey, For Plex/Jellyfin the recommendation is generally to go with Intel CPUs (at least 12th gen) because Intel Quick Sync is really great for decoding/encoding, much better then AMD in fact. Some people would say to avoid 13th & 14th gen and to go for either 12th or Core Ultra (or how are they called again, the latest gen ?) due to the issues which 13 and 14th gen had/have. i5 or i7 are a good option for Intel. Also if you plan to use Proxmox, use it as the OS and not Hexos. You can host Hexos as a VM in Proxmox but you definitely should not host Proxmox as a VM in Hexos. This is a decision which you should take and already deploy now, because changing it afterwards is a lot of work and hassle.

mine took about 1 hour to do 472 4k dolby atmos 7.1 movies but also bear in mind certain tvs have trouble certain sound formats

Hey all. 👋 My google drive/photos is getting full and it gets annoying constantly trimming it i chose to building my first server. Main use case is for plex, smb share and maybe something like Immich. Secondary if possible, time wise and hardware wise some VMing like playing with Proxmox, vanilla trueNas etc. Not now, not yet, maybe a year later some VMs for living room entertainment (game emulation & media player). I have been looking in the market and i think my choices are like these. (prices with only one system NVMe) ⟦⟫ Second hand AMD Ryzen 7 5700G 350€ (if i play the waiting game, most second hand market is a bit dry) ⟦⟫ New AM5 Ryzen 7 8700G 480~550€ ⟦⟫ AOOSTAR WTR PRO AMD Ryzen 7 5825u 530$ (which just right now got a price rise and i dont know how mutch it will be in €) Any thoughs on my options? I am looking for reasonable energy consumption and i dont know how the 8700G will fair on that. By the way Intel is missing because i dont know there equivalen offerings and the second hand market is mostly AMD.

The update is ok to do. It was a minor hotfix change related to Active Directory support (doesn’t directly affect us). With activity UI in place, only valid updates should show up now. We are still locking users to the 24.10 train, but updates within that train are fine.

be in my shoes i went to buy 199usd convert to aud and its over 300 bucks ouch i dont mind as i tyred of setting up truenas for plex its pain in the butt this the only reason for this plus my cpu amd has built in gpu
