We are working on increased app support this quarter. The plan is to build an app templating system that will allow us to more rapidly publish our curations and allow for the community to participate as well. I will be publishing another blog post soon to talk about this and our other priorities for Q3.

Another Command Deck update went live today. This release includes: Fixes to the networking layer for users switching between DHCP and static IP modes Improved performance across the app based on the observability metrics added last release A new queuing and caching layer to handle folder loading for users with a large number of folders, preventing API overload with TrueNAS A fix for a bug that caused folders to appear missing when a private folder user had been deleted Performance work is ongoing. Let us know if you spot anything.

I would like to see first party support for placing any app behind some of the most popular VPNs (PIA, Nord, Express, Proton, Tailscale, etc), as well as custom VPNs (WireGuard, OpenVPN, etc). For example, you may install “The Lounge” IRC client and have all internet communication pass through a PIA VPN so that your home IP is not exposed while chatting. Traditional methods of doing this involve painful configuration of iptables or other firewall rules. I believe this is an area where HexOS could really simplify things: Install a VPN plugin, authenticate with it, and then simply assign an app to a VPN plugin via the app’s settings if desired. It would be fully accessible from the home network without going through the VPN, but all internet traffic would go through the VPN with a kill switch in case the VPN goes down. Thoughts?

If visual changes you may need to do a full refresh like delete your cache and stuff.

Can the notification be changed slightly to make it clear it's a Command Deck update and not something locally we need to install? The notification said "HexOS has received an update" so people may be looking around to see where to update. You can see it's a Command Deck update if you click "Release notes are available here." but if you aren't the type to read release notes you may still get annoyed looking around for how to update your HexOS install. Not having a moan, just wanting to keep it as clear as possible for everyone - Thanks! EDIT: Actually now I'm not sure if it's actually an update we are meant to do or not 😂

Hi all. My $.02 is that there should be a way to echo or display the TrueNAS errors from within the HexOS management GUI. Basically, I have been trying to apply the new update(s) to my system, and it took me forever to realize that they were failing because I didn't assign enough space to my boot drive to download and unpack the update contents.

FYI!

Nextcloud would be great to have. I’m looking for an alternative to Google Workspace and it seems like Nextcloud might be a good option.
