We've discovered a handful of different issues with immich plaguing users. We are on the case and it's a priority issue for us!

Hey it would be cool to have a straight forward way to install Nextcloud (e.g. the all in one edition https://nextcloud.com/blog/how-to-install-the-nextcloud-all-in-one-on-linux/) on HexOS. I set it up myself on my homelab, but the setup was not as easy and while the software itself works great, I'm not as satisfied with my implementation. It offers a lot of features with a client that is available on a lot of devices already, essentially substituting Cloud storage, Google Calender, Contacts, Office products, Slack (e.g. for small businesses) and as I just saw even LLM like ChatGPT. This would add huge additional value to HexOS, since you easily could substitute a lot of subscriptions that way, while having enormous privacy benefits, a thing the target audience of HexOS would surely profit of. Especially if there is also a way to safely expose it to the internet.

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.

Hi, i don't really know if it's possible or if it has been discussed earlier but is it possible for HexOS to display differents pcie cards information (like what card is in what slot) or direcly display the GPU informations like the usage the drivers etc a little like it is done with the cpu informations? I think it could be a great options for those who use gpu for transcoding or in VM... thank you all 😁

When you reinstall remember to remove the old dataset structure. I forgot to do that and it made things more confusing for me as I did the new install.

Ditto. I had to change my external library processing but that took 5 minutes once i recognized it.

Reinstall should work, I had the same issue and honestly didn't want to keep fighting, so I just deleted and reinstalled. It's been working and updating fine ever since.

You may need to clear your browser history on Chrome. I thought the deck was down for a sec because of your post and I couldn't find my server, but it turned out my Internet had gone down at the same time. Apologies to our dev team for starting a false alarm ;-).

Appreciate everyone taking the time to participate in the forums. It helps us and other users. Thanks 😀

We officially announced our intention to delay VM support as part of the Q1 status update back in March. Since then, its important to note that TrueNAS pivoted their VM strategy again when they decided to drop Incus for traditional VMs and go back to their previous implementation with libvirt (as of 25.04.2). Due to all of this, we decided it would be best to restart the VM implementation in 2026 once development is finalized. I can see the confusion here, but we never promised all of these features would be delivered with the 1.0 release. Our focus on 1.0 is achieving platform stability. Furthermore, you're forgetting one pretty major feature that wasn't listed on the site: Local UI. This is the next feature we are focusing on after the Q3 release. Snapshots and Buddy Backups are still possibilities for this year, but likely would continue to carry the "beta" tag into 2026 to give more time for public testing. The Q3 update is nearly complete, which will carry some pretty big features including MULTIPLE new curated apps and folder support for Apple Time Machine/Quotas. Furthermore, we will have a new "Experimental Features" toggle that will enable users to create Encrypted folders as well as provide access to our new app templating/install scripts solution.
