Hi all, Just seeking clarification here - the HexOS team have said they're still targeting V1.0 for release this year. A topic on Reddit has a response from the HexOS_Official user stating Can the team clarify when VM support is coming, as that was a major selling point for HexOS. Will V1.0 be launched without a major feature? I understand that 25.04 pushed back the release of VM features, but from the how I read the Q1 update (the last time this was spoken about, in March...) I took it to be that it was being done, just at a lower priority than the App support, but would still be coming this year. If I am looking at the HexOS website, we are currently at 3/6 of the below features. Even if they launch App deployment in the next few weeks for their Q3 update, I don't see how they are able to complete VMs, Buddy Backups & Snapshots in the next 3 months, which means they can't actually be targeting a 2025 release, but we've had no official word saying the release has been pushed back. The last word on this was from March 7th:

Is there a new roadmap or can we get a new road map? the one on the website is coming up on a year old.

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.

It would be useful in the dashboard if I could see a snapshot of users connected to services like SMB, NFS.

I believe integrating Home Assistant with HexOS could be a game-changer for the operating system, offering functionality that is sorely lacking in almost all other OS platforms today. A Home Assistant integration would allow users to monitor and manage their NAS more effectively. Imagine being able to track critical metrics such as system uptime, array health, disk health checks, and the overall status of your storage systems — all from within Home Assistant. Furthermore, adding control features would significantly enhance the user experience. It would be fantastic if users could automate tasks like rebooting or stopping/starting applications, VMs, or containers directly through Home Assistant. Additionally, automating disk spin-downs during off-peak hours for power savings would be a powerful and eco-friendly feature. The potential of Home Assistant integration is vast, and it's difficult to fully capture all the possibilities in a single topic. However, the core idea is simple: having such an integration, with continuous updates and new features, would be a major advantage for HexOS. While most other operating systems either lack similar functionality or offer only basic, limited capabilities, HexOS could stand out by providing a more comprehensive, user-friendly, and flexible solution.

As the title says, I would like to get updates about HexOS in my RSS feed on Fresh RSS. Unless I'm blind, I don't see an RSS feed link.

Hey HexOS folks. I know a lot of us are feeling both frustrated about the pace of updates and hopeful about what's coming in the future for this platform. I have always been intimidated by platforms like UnRAID and TrueNAS - so this has been an opportunity for me to dip my toes into self-hosting. That said, the pace of communication from the team on the forum, Reddit, and elsewhere has been so very frustrating. The mods here are great and do what they can but we're not just here to get a product, I'm sure I speak for more than just myself in saying I'd love to see behind the curtain a little bit as an early adopter. Please, please, please consider this a priority, because idk about the rest of you but I can feel a fair bit of frustration starting to build here.

FYI. An update from Robbie on Nascompares https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybOVCqDSLVg

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!

I hope Home Assistant integration is pretty high on the 'To-Do' list given its prevalence in the community and seemingly frequent pairing with TrueNAS. It'd be my first request as far as home automation handling goes after some searching
