New blog post up today providing a status update on HexOS! https://hexos.com/blog/hexos-q1-status-update

It looks like it should support all drive configurations support in Scale, from what their wording says? Saying that this is required to adopt existing Scale installs into HexOS makes me think all Scale drive types will be supported, except maybe not cache drives or meta data drives yet because they're kind of off to the side of storage?

Correct. The local UI is one of the last pieces we will deliver before marking it 1.0.

In the first road map it was mentioned that it's coming with 1.0 seams like that didn't change.

Awesome, thank you for the thorough update and continued efforts towards a better experience!

Thank you for the update. Really appreciated! The next step in the HexOs journey

Thanks for the diagram, I was roughly aware the relationship but I wasn't sure if it was more a master+slave, with HexOS fully controlling TrueNAS (with the option for users to manually control TrueNAS), but the sibling relationship structure sounds good. I was thinking it might be the former becuase I've heard HexOS adviise users against performing certain actions via the TrueNAS UI as HexOS might not support those same actions and that could lead to HexOS breaking.

I don't know if I have the budget for 2 HexOS licenses (it'd be nice if there was a discount for buying multiple licenses at once). I guess I could always swap TNS01 on to TNS02's (much older) hardware and then prep the second NAS (with the newer hardware) for HexOS Yeah I think I heard that somewhere, Is that on the roadmap for the 1.0 release later this year? Or is that (roughly) planned to happen following the 1.0 release?

Regarding point 1; I was thinking of comparing the permission types between HexOS's TrueNAS UI, and then implementing those types on that second TrueNAS systems. I'm talking about the UID, GID, Mask types. Probarbly "Advanced" stuff for HexOS's target userbase but stuff TrueNAS users need to know.

Yeah, the price per port/speed is a HUGE differential. The goal, once both nodes are wired, not only will backhauling become way more efficient but I'll likely take the 2nd 2.5G port of the 2nd node and split that off to a small switch. From there attach whatever I want, keeping the primary router/node in my bedroom. You can see 4 of 8 antenna from the top of the chassis...not too shabby to look at....and you can turn the light off.
