Next cloud has already been curated by the HexOS

+100 on this! I'm a small business owner who needs to get a Nextcloud server up and running within the next few months. Just found out about HexOS today. Instant purchase if they so much as announce Nextcloud integration.

Hmm. Now there is an interesting idea. There is another post that asks about the long-term viability of HexOS with several outside the box thoughts. This would fit well under that thread. This might be a good fix if the specifics can be worked out..

HexOS itself? From what version to what version?

I tried to update my server, and it didn't work. Does anyone have any idea why?

Wondering if HexOS will partner with an OEM to make an official prebuilt piece of hardware for those who would like something off-the-shelf?

I got an HBA but its got data sata but not enough power My data is fine, it doesn't matter if I lose it. So I unplugged a drives, added the 3 larger ones to start moving some data around. I can see the drives working and displaying their full capacity as unused drives. But when I try to add the pool I get an error : TASK_FAILED_STALE and this link https://docs.hexos.com/troubleshooting/. Then 2/3 unused drives are gone from the HexOS deck. The drives are brand new Seagate Ironwolf, do you know what it could be ?

Hey, So, the save approach would be to get an HBA card so that you can connect all 5 drives together and copy your data using the task replication in the Truena GUI. You can use the HBA in future if you want to add more then 4 drives to your pool or if you want to create a 2nd pool. However, if you don't want to buy a HBA card, you could, although I strongly advise against it, unplug 1 drive from your current pool, plug in the 3 other drives, create your new RaidZ1 pool and copy the data over this way, again using the Truenas replication task.

Hi, I’m trying to upgrade a 2 drive pool to a 3 drives pools but with a twist I can only plug 4 HDDs at once in my motherboard And I have a bunch of apps running how would you proceed? (TBH it’s mostly Linux iso and a game library so losing it is not such a big worry but I’d rather not have to redownload the whole thing)

UPDATE I re-adopted the server into the HexOS Dashboard as a new install, and it was found in the notifications I could see that the update had failed, even though I do not see it available any more.

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to go, I just yesterday deployed HexOS on my main NAS box everything was working great when it prompted to update it never came back online on the HexOS Deck, but I can access my Immich instance and all public SMB shares. What I've tried A different browser to access the HexOS Deck from I've restarted the machine HexOS is running on Any help would be greatly appreciated!

this method likely wouldn't work well for you because your original pool is only 2 drives. Expandable pools require to originally made with 3 or more drives. @PsychoWards's solution is likely the best, plug them all in at the same time and then copy over your data.

This worked for me, Thanks!

I doubt it's hidden but I have never seen it myself.

I imagine this is being looked at but what sets this above tailscale. Tailscale already has scripts for someone to review to be curated so how does this app distinguish itself? Options would be wonderful. Especially if the are free to use!

That issue with high CPU usage that's affecting several of us is still present with version 25.10.2. I tried 25.10.2 today, but had to roll back again.

So, I am having major issues upgrading to 25.10.2 as that breaks API access for HexOS (HexOS Deck can no longer connect to my server). I am running Pi-Hole and Nginx on my TrueNAS plus some other apps. My thought is the required HTTPs for API access on 25.10.2 is breaking compatibility. Does anyone else have these apps and experienced similar issues or no issues?

Hey, this depends on a couple of things. Do you have any apps installed? If yes, I'm not sure how this is going to look like after the migration to another pool. Also, do you have enough slots to connect all the drives at the same time? If yes, creating a new pool will be the only way to get more storage with your current number of drives. Once the new pool is create, you need to login into Truenas and use the task replication to copy everything over to your new pool. This is the best and safest way to copy things over to the new pool.

Hey all, Im looking at upgrading my pool to a higher capacity storage. Currently have 5x 2TB drives and have picked up 3x 6TB drives. I saw that I could swap out the 2TB drives one by one and then once they have all been swapped the pool would upgrade itself to the higher capacity but I was only planning on putting the 3x drives in at the moment. Would the best way to go about it to be create a 2nd pool, copy everything over and rename the pool once the original pool has been removed? Thanks

Yes, it is implemented.

I have nearly the exact same question, Are you able to share how/what ended up doing @Tasche, and how well it went? I have a 500GB sata ssd that has the OS currently, but want to change that out to the 64GB emmc drive I took out of my steamdeck. Best

When I started TrueNAS was kind of daunting now, I don't mind hopping in feet first. I've got more horsepower than I know what to do with. I want to add a certificate for SSL but haven't had time to figure that part out. Right now, I'm debating adding a special vdev to the main pool since it's got 3 20TB drives and I plan on it growing any thoughts? Any ideas on what to do next?

Just started building my HexOS server/nas over the holidays. What do you guys think? How can I fit that 2 RU battery backup in there? It's an AV rack with wife approval. Should I add rails? Remove shelves? Remove the shelves and just stack em? haha I'm storing my personal and professional audio and video project files here for long term storage and backup. I often need to access and reuse old projects. So I'm accessing this server from work too. The 3Gbps Internet here rocks! I've also got a media server here too. - Dell Precision 5810 (Running HexOS) - Bell Modem - 5 Port 10G Switch - 24 Port 1G Switch - Mediasonic eSata 4-Drive Bay (16TB HexOS HDD Pool) - 24TB Backup Drive (with snapshots) - Livingroom Gaming PC - Dust Thanks!

this is correct however there is one more limitation, only pools that consist of 3 or more storage drives can be expanded. 2 drive pools have no option for expansion 3+ drive pools can be expanded with drives of the same or larger capacity of the smallest drive in the pool yes if you have a pool that has 4 drives you can add another later to increase the pool size, giving you more space

@PsychoWards i've never used truenas or hexos, are you saying that a pool can be expended if the drives have the same or higher capacity ? Gemini gave me an answer that I don't like, saying it's not possible to just add another drive to get more total capacity on the pool Soooo .... can I add more drives later on ? If I have a RAID with 4 drives, can I just add one more drive and get more space ? Thanks.
