only hexos gets installed to the boot drive. Apps get installed to a separate pool. I agree with @Sonic, the effort required to sell ddr3 is not worth the profit and Hexos loves ram. One thing to keep in mind is if you buy HDDs for a storage pool just make sure the are CMR drives and not SMR drives.

You never can have to much memory. If you have 64 gb in your machine, leave it like that. 😀. You also have buy new memory if you sell the 64GB. And that for a few $ or euro "profit"

It is a must these days to have TailScale support, especially for secure remote access. It is far too easy to mess up a WireGaurd/OpenVPN Config, if the goal is security and simplicity, Tailscale VPN access should be a high priority.

Noted, thank you! I will be buying hard drives for it when I get to this project. My current NAS drives are in my QNAP NAS, and I plan on keeping them there. Moving them to HexOS would mean I would lose everything on them. The QNAP will act as a file server and a backup location for the home. My intention was to keep all the RAM, but I wasn't sure if 64GB was pointless or not. It turns out it's not 🙂

That would be a perfect hexos box

I don't really know how easy difficult this would be.. but: It would be nice if you could make a hexos intergration for HA. Could be just monitoring, or could be basic actions too. But would be quite cool and nice

Had already installed the HA app through truenas and ran into countless issues, it was unusable! plus had been so long since i'd not be running bare metal / HA OS that i completely forgot about the lack of Add ons and other key features, which was a another blocker. Thus what would be amazing is a 'One-Click' option for Home Assistant BUT the option to install either as: VM (HA OS) App (Container) That way, users have the choice, and could be presented with the pro's / con's of both up front!
