Thank you for the thoroughly detailed report! This definitely helps. @jerod and the team and looking into this further and exploring different paths to resolve.

@jonp here you can see what it looks like when a user tries to update the Immich app through HexOS when they haven't manually migrated to new folders. I am having the exact same issue since the Immich app in TrueNAS stopped supporting the old folder structure. See the attached screenshot for the error you get in TrueNAS when attempting to upgrade the app. When upgrading through TrueNAS it fails instantly, but HexOS is "in progress" for a very long time before giving up.

Additional Apps We’ve just added Jellyfin, Home Assistant, and qBittorrent! And this is just the beginning, thanks to our new curation process, we expect many more apps to come online soon. Intro to App Curation We've added an interface to the HexOS frontend to make iterating on apps easier and to let the community contribute their own curations. By enabling Dev Mode in Preferences, you'll unlock the Custom Script option for app installs. From there, you can tweak existing install scripts or create new ones then share them with friends or submit them to the official HexOS curation templates. Right now, the feature focuses on streamlining the app install process. Soon we plan to surface installer questions directly in the UI and automate post-install steps (such as in-app setup wizards). That work depends on the in-development Local UI project, we will share more news about this in the future. We'd love your feedback as we refine this, let us know what's working well and where you're running into friction. Official Docs We've launched a documentation site! This new resource brings together everything you need to know about HexOS, including getting started guides, feature documentation, troubleshooting help, release notes, and community resources. Along with App Curation, we are opening the docsite up for community contributions. Learn about how to contribute here. - Docsite contributions - App Curation Folder Wizard Arrives We've extended our simple folder creation interface with a new wizard-driven process that unlocks specialized use cases like encrypted folders and Time Machine backups. With this foundation in place, we're now ready to move forward on bigger features including Snapshots, Replication, and Buddy Backup. First Flight Updates We've made improvements to First Flight, our onboarding experience, to help new users get up and running with HexOS more easily. Key improvements include: - Progress Tracking: When you complete tasks shown in the First Flight modal, it will pop up again to show you which tasks you've completed and what's still left to do - Persistent Banner: A banner now lives at the top of every page, keeping First Flight guidance accessible throughout HexOS This feature is designed to make the HexOS onboarding process a little more intuitive, especially for users new to home server management. --- NOTE: This update was applied automatically.

I think there may be a few gremlins at play here and it's worth spending a little time investigating given the amount of feedback we see here.

I liked the blog post thank you for making it.

Its disappointing that out of the very limited amount of apps initially provided, Immich and Plex both still have issues. I appreciate this is early adoption but at minimum I think the HexOS team should write clear documentation on how to overcome these issues (even if this takes you away from the deck into truenas)

That's my understanding too. Say you got 3 small drives, buy 3 large drives, pull one small out, one big in, let it rebuild, pull second small, insert second large, let it rebuild, then do the last one. Might be safer to buy fewer and bigger drives to start with, and later just expand with adding same capacity drives.
