I agree, i would think an android app would at least be easier to distribute as you could just offer the APK rather than having to go through apple's playstore checks so i'd be surprised if we saw an ios app before we saw an android app

This seems like a similar problem to what I saw with Home Assistant: I'm currently between giving up and just going to truenas community vs continuing to troubleshoot.. I might try the fix you did with my issue as well to see if that works.

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?
