I am not seeing 2FA/MFA, despite it being discussed as part of the Q1 release plan. Is there a way to enable this that I am missing?

Awesome, thanks for the response, I will follow this tonight!

it is going to be very similar to this guide

Just wanted to drop into this thread to see if you guys had a timeline on the Immich guide? Is there a draft/PR in documentation github that can be contributed to?

Ohh, I didn't have "Experimental features" enabled. Now I see it!

When you create a new datasight do you see these options?

I see a checkbox for Time Machine, but I don't see any options for encryption. How do you enable that?

Would be great if it would be like Truenas, you just export your config and during (or after) installation you just reload this config and it's all back and configured to how it was before. Maybe even give an advanced tab where you can select which categories/settings/apps you want to restore and which not. This backup could even be done automagically upon a settings change and keep a couple of versions, and be stored on one of the pools and Hexos might be looking for it during or after the setup and give you a choice of which version (automatic or manual backup and from which date/time) to use. Pool import is already working now, you don't have to create a new pool anymore during the setup, you import them afterwards.

I hope that one day we'll see GPU virtualisation not relegated to datacenters, maybe if Intel makes a card worth splitting up. I've looked into the software side and there are too many competing ideas that all require a lot of maintainers by the looks of it so I'm doubtful of long-term support.

I am very interested in this!

yes you can install hexos on mirrored drives on the installer they give you the option

Is it possible to install HexOS on a mirror? Just had my boot drive fail, have another SSD on the way but wanted to reduce the chance this happens again

I think high on the list of features for HexOS would be to make recovering from something going wrong easier. Easy configuration backups and recovery, helping with snapshot stuff, importing existing pools after reinstall, etc.

??? What future do you crazy dreamers live in? 🤪

This is not foreseen to be done in Truenas and therefor Hexos. Hexos is an appliance and you are not installing anything on the OS. The drivers are in the kernel and you cannot easily update them. Newer Versions might support your NIC in the future though.

Hi all, ive been tinkering woth the HexOs and and Truenas. And wanted to spin u a linux vm so i can remote into it when im away from home. Fo that i created a network bridge so that i can access my files. problem is now my sever keeps shutting down. I get this error. Is there something can do to repair this? And if not when i reinstall HexOs will my data still be safe and as it was? Any help is more than welcome.

truly wild times i look forward to the inevitable 100 gamers 1 cpu video

One interesting thing is I was actually his software support contact behind the scenes (previous job) and helped him a lot with the multi seat gaming videos starting with 2 gamers 1 cpu but especially the 7 gamers one with the custom water block for the AMD cards. I had him setup remote access including a webcam that was pointed at all the monitors on the ground so I could see them light up for gpu pass through. Was a helluva project!!

I would second this, I have 2 GPUs installed, one for Plex transcoding (a 3050 powered by PCIe slot) and a 4070 Super for use in a VM when I get around to setting it up so that I can do some light video editing. I also have a 10G network card installed, but I'm having issues installing the drivers for it because it's an Aquantia card so it would be nice to have the ability to update drivers in HexOS or see if there needs to be a driver update.

I've seen ICY Dock show up before, so this is an example of what to look for. https://global.icydock.com/product_329.html

All I've heard is that USB components in general aren't built for sustained load, and may burnout and die, on USB drives specifically, the flash memory might die too. One dude said he had a graveyard pile of dead USB adaptors from when he thought he knew better. But it'll otherwise work for some undetermined amount of time until then. In data enters they use a cable that carries something like PCIe from the compute to a separate box with just a bunch of drives (JBOD) So your idea is fine just not USB,, I'm not sure what's specifically available at a reasonable price though.

I would rather not get into the messy fitting of NVMe/SATA connections in this small case. Would two or more separately powered external USB drives have any issues with HexOS?

that's really good news to hear. like im just wanting to pass a GPU and USB controller through to each VM so my machine acts like 5 physical computers; thin clients without the thin clients. ive got a mix of aged PCIe GPUs with atleast a gig or two per card and replacing them with modern hardware at some point would be neat but no hurry; my GPU graveyard keeps on entertaining the kids with their minecraft and coolmathgames, etc.

This is actually something we intend to do using vfio stubbing if that's what you're referring to here. VMs are a 2026 objective for us.

from installing the virtual machines to passing through pcie GPU/USB cards to telling grub not to assign the root device to hexOS i would very much like deploying multiseat HexOS to be as simple as enumerating my devices and selecting them from a list much like ASTERmultiseat and the various implementations that came before it. and like with proxmox i would very much appreciate being able to have one of the seats be a hackintosh, another linux and the rest windows, without having to jump through any hoops. multiseat is the most affordable way for a family to expand their computing capacity for WFH, homework, gaming, etc. now whilst something like aster or SR-IOV can share a GPU between multiple users, my expectations would be wildly exceeded if this functionality were to be implemented. then linus can do a hexOS / 10 gamers 1 CPU with like 2 graphics cards to show the potential scale of such a mighty solution.
