This ended up working for me! After running these commands though, I did have to go back into the TrueNAS UI and enable the 'Use this GPU' button.

It would be a very useful to be able to connect an external hard drive and then copy data from this directly, rather than needing a second computer and a (potentially) slow(er) network connection. Especially since/if this is targeted at non-professionals who will quite likely currently have things backed up on an external hard drive.

Hey all, as the name implies I would like to see a simple checkbox to make folders available via nfs. As a bonus a list of IP ranges that are allowed to access the share would be perfect. The user mapping to the user owning the folder so that I do not need to care about permissions and just access the data via NFS could be handled automatically as a default. Please feel free to ask for clarification and to add your ideas below!

I'm using TrueNAS 24.10.1. Can't seem to find the setting for SMART APM. Ideally I want to set Level 64.

Hey all, similar to what TrueNas offers out of the box as the multi-user Time Machine option, I would like to see Time Machine Backup support for macOS devices. This could be a special type of folder for that special purpose only where settings are locked in and only user access permissions can be set as with any other folder. Hope to see this implemented at some point together with a quick tutorial on how to set up the backup in macOS with automatic drive connection on system start and so on. Would make the whole process of setting it up very easy for everyone. That feature would make HexOS a real alternative to the mac mini as a home server for "all-in on apple" people. Please feel free to ask for clarification and add your ideas!

Integrated default reverse proxy for docker apps so all apps available on 443 inside home network. integrated DNS to support app name.internaldomain.com with reverse proxy (this puts all apps on 443) Lets encrypt SSL by default for all apps all user has to do is buy domain name and enter it above and all just works support for split horizon DNS consider running the DNS service for folks to allow tight integration (this shouldn't preclude use of other dns services) this is not me advocating for how to expose anything externally, that's not an argument i want to get into 😉

I Used an HP Z Series i7-12700, 32gigs memory, 500gig Samsung 870 SSD for HexOS and 3 4TB Crucial NVMe drives for 8TB available space. My main system (my first mass produced computer in 35 years) is an Alienware i9-13900K, 64gigs DDR5, RTX Founders 3070TI and 2 WD Black Series 2TB NVMe's in RAID0. I have an HP SFF Mini handling Scanner web duties for my Uniden SDS200. My server is an HP G9 ML350, server 2019, 192gigs of HP Smart memory, with 8 900Gig drives in RAID6 (being rebuilt with 2TB SSD's next year) Quadro P2000 (for the Plex server) and it provides shares for the family plus media etc... , the HexOS box will be handling server backups and testing possibly replacing the HP server when they have video card support. I control the Z, Mini and ML350 locally with a KVM and remotely with Chrome RDP. I'm looking forward to HexOS getting the dashboard locally and seeing where this goes! Hopefully it gets good enough for me to shut down the server some day, or at the very least I can shrink the server size down considerably, we'll see.

Feature Suggestion: UPS Integration for Automatic Shutdown Enable Hexos to natively support UPS devices for automatic safe shutdown during power outages. • Benefits: Prevent data loss, monitor power status, and improve reliability. • Implementation: Integrate protocols like apcupsd or NUT for broad UPS compatibility and allow configurable shutdown actions.

Definitely interested in this. Main concern is scammers. That said, I bet there is a happy middle ground. I would want to consult with our legal team before I commit to this, but I’m certainly not opposed to the idea.

@Erik Andersen I see you Flexing on us , good looking setup you have there

This is my pre-show & tell post as I have been waiting so very patiently for my new gear to arrive. I have everything but the chassis. Sitting here with 5 new drives, new RAM...everything. All ready to go with no home. Excited!

Me right now trying to get some of my LoRa projects

This is all to familiar 😉

I mean it looks like it meets minimum specs for truenas/hexos. Based on some random pdf i found online it supports a max size of 1tb drives which could just be from back in the day when 1tb was the highest available hdd size. I think since you have it, its worth a shot.

2 x 2.3Ghz Quad-Core AMD Opteron Processor 2376 CPUs, Bus speed 1000mhz, 8gb mem, system mem speed 800mhz. I also only paid $10 for it.

I love that! TO THE MOON!

I would need to know the specific specs of said machine because googling it shows many different machines with the same name. for example the first one i saw with an opteron is probably not worth the effort.

No, you cannot change from a RaidZ1 to a RaidZ2, this is defined once during the creation of the pool, but changing it requires to destroy and recreate the pool with RaidZ2, which will wipe all the data from the disks. If you want to have a RaidZ2 you either need to wait until Hexos supports it or create it manually in truenas and live with possible side effects in Hexos or ditch Hexos for the time being and switch to a truenas installation and migrate back to Hexos once pool migration because available some time after version 1.0.

Since hardwire is not always available for some people, will wifi card support be available?

i was thinking about it and if someone were to use mesh wifi, it might work slightly better than a repeater, even if they are just using wireless backhaul.

This image. It spark a primal fear deep within my very being. If there is a god. They have definitely forsaken this image. Sins have been commited that generations will speak of, stories will be told and folklore spread through eons. Of the one who has eyes, but does not see, who has ears but does not hear and has knowledge, but does not know. May there be mercy on those weary souls who stumble upon this sight.

Thanks, I didn't know that email existed. The "Contact Us" page is only a message submission form. It would probably be helpful to have the email address listed there as well!

With HexOS I am forced to use 3 drives otherwise it won't work properly? I have an ssd (HexOS) and one hdd and I want to be able to use the system without the need for RAID. I understand it is better to have RAID, but I have a 24tb hdd and another one of the same size costs a lot of money.

I completely agree, i want my apps to be on a single ssd with a large hdd pool for my data i don't wanna lose

Yup! We went through great pains to make our UI mobile responsive, and this will make porting it to mobile apps easier in the future. For now, navigating to the deck from mobile is already a pretty pleasant experience.

For those who don't have a buddy interested in HexOS but DO have access to a secondary location it would be really nice to have a stripped down/feature-limited install that only functions as a backup box without having to pay for the potentially-prohibitive cost of a secondary full license. It would be even nicer if we could configure a backup on another machine as an application to allow for backups on other operating systems, low power setups on ARM or RISC, etc. This is a game-changer for those who have rolling blackouts/power outages/solar-battery/cellular. Failover to backup would be amazing as well. Main system down? Data goes to the buddy backup and then duplicates to the main system when it comes back up.

Would be wonderful, if there's a way to easily setup NAS as a cloud NAS, so i can hopefully access it from anywhere and replacing gdrive/onedrive that i'm currently use. Even though i'm tech enthusiast, often i can be lost when setting up NAS as personal cloud storage. Especially when my home (and many others) ISP doesn't offer public IP (multiple NAT). Hope you can adding this to the future development as soon as possible. Can't wait and very exciting.
