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'm deeply disappointed to hear this. We did have a banner on the forums for a while pointing to the Q2 update, but the post itself is still where all of our update posts have been going: the Announcements forum. In addition, there have been multiple Command Deck updates since then that have seriously improved deck.hexos.com performance and responsiveness, as well as resolved a significant networking bug. Check out the Announcements forum and specifically posts by @jerod (our CTO). FYI, I'm Jon (the CEO and Co-Founder). Clearly we're missing some simple comm relays (like the Q2 update dropping) and some of our terminology could be more clear (differing from major and minor updates, OS vs. Command Deck as well). I do apologize for that, as comms are ultimately my responsibility right now. I've told our dev team to stay out of the forums beyond reading posts and communicating with @mill3000 on relevant support tickets. No blame on them for their lack of activity here. And while I greatly appreciate your input and desire for a dev-blog, we honestly just don't have the appetite to do it right now. Writing blogs wasn't part of the job description for the dev team either. We're putting all of our effort and the capital that was entrusted to us by customers (like you) towards building the product. I'm not sure what you mean by this comment. Is there an app you're trying to bring to HexOS that you've developed? I get it. You feel strongly about the devlogs. 😮‍💨 I don't. We're not even making big investments in marketing right now (our website is still the same from after launch week). All the capital is going towards making this thing really great (including backing/funding the ZFS AnyRaid project). Maybe that changes in the future when it makes more sense to me. Right now, each on-the-clock keystroke from our dev team goes to writing code or communicating ideas internally to further the project. I provide updates as I can and when there's something important to say (such as a release dropping). Clearly you're missing some of those and I'm struggling to understand how and why. It's important that I get this sorted because if it's happening to you, I'm sure it's happening to others as well. Especially as we're now moving at a faster pace than we were in the first half of 2025 and anticipate more frequent updates moving forward. I feel this too. 🤦‍♂️ I see the purchases you made and when you made them. @mill3000 referred to you as an OG and he's not wrong. No worries, I ignored all the BS from your post....mostly ;-). I definitely recommend checking your server for the Q2 update (the Command Deck will immediately be different if you haven't noticed already) and if you haven't, apply the available OS update from the Activity card on the dashboard. We have a lot more in store for Q3. I'm working on a few blog posts now. one to catch everyone up from June, and another to talk about our upcoming plan for apps. Thanks for taking the time to let us know how you're feeling. I'm confident if you purchased based on the vision you saw from us last year, you'll be happy you did by the end of this year. If you ultimately feel sour about this and want a refund now, let me know and we'll take care of it for you.

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.

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.

Supposedly should see more info By end of September. I believe the last quarter (Oct, Nov, Dec) they're rolling out something to help move Apps faster.

Do we have an update on the apps? This is the main reason why I purchased two licenses. But so far there's only two apps available and both haven't received any updates

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 😂
