After nearly 40 years of mainframe programing, off and on PC support for the companies I worked for, Probably about as many years creating and maintaining first Apple PC's then on to 8086 PC's and beyond, I believe I have made some observations. I can build a PC from a pile of parts. I can network equipment together through wireless, wired and electrical and recently through coaxial cable. I can put a RJ45 end on ethernet cable the old way (without the quick crimp tool). What I consider to be my crowning achievement was working with my dad to help a neighbor get an early 70's Corvette running. While I understand the concept of internal combustion, my diagnostics skills are limited to "getting spark" and getting gas". So my value to this project was to read the manual for the parts and they were added to the hunk of metal hanging in their garage. Things like this show me "technical" is a mindset or approach more than a true level of knowledge. Sure the two go hand in hand but if you don't have a technical approach you will not successfully set up a NAS at any but the very most basic level. And adding products to that NAS is out of the question. That is why when I ask a question I often ask for a picture to see where I deviated. Not just to fix it but to see what happens when I change settings. I have pages of notes from all the way back when I was picking out the hardware I am using for the HexOS NAS. I started expecting I would be setting up an UnRaid instead of TrueNAS. A friend with some knowledge was pushing me to TrueNAS when I say the LTT videos'. Reading the "How I chose hardware" article showed very clearly how you are short on experience and expertise. But it also showed a technical aptitude that is NOT in short supply here in this forum. So when you are done with this experience I would like to hear your opinion. You may find some of the information you are given when you ask for help to be difficult to follow. Thats you experience level not your technology level. Experience can come easy and hard depending on your level of effort in a project but becoming technical when you previously were not? I don't even know if that happens. Keep up the articles please.

Update: just putting the old OS drive in the new system does work. altough i needed to reconfigure the ip in my router to use my old bookmarks.

Hey @Exodia, unfortunately I cannot comment on this since I'm not using Truenas/Hexos to host my apps, maybe someone else can comment on this instead.

Thanks again @PsychoWards! Would you consider installing TrueNAS apps as easy to setup/configure/maintain as the HexOS-curated apps? All of these video demos for HexOS apps (Plex, immich) seem pretty easy to click and install, and I'd very much like to compare the complexity of installing those apps to installing TrueNAS apps.

Hi @TheCambaplaying with Immich atm and working on my next post. I'm getting pretty frustrated with it but having fun. I love next cloud! Didn't know I could run that here, how exciting!

It's a tricky line, I try to be clear what my knowledge is around each topic. I know nothing about networking almost nothing about servers, and am deeply uncomfortable with managing important security, anything comand line or code etc. that said I've worked doing QA on software for years and am an IT consultant by trade. I would never ever want to set up TrueNAS for example. I'm interested that you see these things im as technical, however, which bits? Thanks for reading 💜💜

Just did a rollback and everything is back to normal. Not sure what the issue was.

Crap. I let Plex update and now nothing but the webui can access my content. One step forward, two steps back.

I have used gear builds posted like this

There will be a PoE version in the future (according to the FAQ on Kickstarter)

I just got confirmation from the JetKVM support, that USB-C PD is indeed unsupported by the black splitter.

You can also change the password from the NAS itsself . You will need to plug in a keyboard and monitor and go threw the options to reset password for GUI login

For file sync have you guys considered Seafile instead?

hi brain trust; i already went through a lot of the forum but can't seem to find an answer.. hope for some good recommendations; I currently run a Synology DS3615XS with 1 expansion bay, 2X 12 disks in RAID 6, so 2 different arrays, around 200 TB in total. i need to move away from the Synology and with all the consumer unfriendly stuff that has been going on, i want to move to a different system. I have already invested into hexos and bought a perpetual license. while it would be nice to have the NAS run additional software in the future, for now being a SMB is enough for me. I run all my dockers on a different MS-01 from Minisforum that has all the processing power i need. so, what am i looking for? i am looking for a storage server. ideally rack mountable with half-depth, quiet and simple. if possible 24 disks so i can expand.. i would need at least 200tb as a starting storage pool and be able to expand later on. I was hoping ubiqity would release an enterprise version of their NAS since it does everything I need, is cheap and super simple but alas.. while i can figure out most of it, it's the chassis that has me scratching my head.. does anyone have any recommendations?

syncthing, webdav. Would be cool if immich, syncthing and webdav can share files so i can use joplin too!

Support will likely come no earlier than q3. Here is a link to the most up to date roadmap https://hexos.com/blog/hexos-q1-status-update Theoretically you MIGHT be able to migrate to hexos using work arounds but i can't guarantee it'll work. Personally i would still recommend waiting unless there is a reason you need to stop using unraid sooner.

They went into folder which only syncthing app can use. I was confused too, but i think no other apps can use that folder that syncthing uses...

Hi @Mobius and all. Are there any news? Is this something that can be expected already during beta or more likely during or after release 1.0? :)

You are right, in Truenas

The updates are performed within the TrueNAS app and not HexOS right? Or at least that is where I see them.

With those 2 options plus replacing all fans with Noctua, the HD chatter (the clicking from HD usage) is louder than the fans in my Dell server

@mill3000 can you take a look into this

Add another to the pile. I have not had to log into the deck for quite a while, but found it unable to connect today. Shares, Plex, and TrueNAS ui are working fine, TrueNAS is version 24.10.0.
