Sept 29th or 30th the person who really administers my Unraid setup stopped over and we looked at HexOS. He said in his professional opinion, he could see what HexOS was trying to do but was surprised how much I needed to do in TrueNAS. To be clear, he says he has a functional knowledge in TrueNAS but is not an expert. I mentioned my security issues because I didn't think any apps but the ones I forced to use a certificate of any kind. We he asked for an example I chose Nextcloud. He timed how log in to to start the stopped app, how long it took to launch the app, and a couple of the addons. He mentioned the launch was slow especially since I logged in as me, not administrator. He questioned my Microsoft Office and the Talk app as they could slow things down. After removing those addons we did it again from server bootup and it wasn't any faster. He looked at cpu and memory numbers and said it was way more this server should need or use. I showed him that I had increased the CPU count and available memory Thinking that would help but not really. His general assessment was it was very slow for only two users and no internet intensive addons because copying/moving files was lightning fast. After a few more app demos he said I was right in worrying about security and when HexOS was live I need to secure every app to HTTPS at a minimum if I intended to continue running this NAS. But he also said the apps that were slowest were the ones I installed myself from TrueNAS so if HexOS gets a curated version it may noticeably improve performance. As an example he gave me what the company he was currently working with (that I retired from) launch and addon startup numbers were. They wouldn't accept an app that didn't start in half the time and while that is a full production tuned app, it has +200,000 users in the USA and another +50,000 worldwide.

Having AMP (https://cubecoders.com/AMP) supported would allow users to get game servers up and running super fast and easy! I know my primary use cases for hexos is media streaming, image backups, and gaming servers. The first two are already covered with plex and immich. Just need a game server app for hexos and therefore recommend AMP!

Saw your post and I’ll add this to the list for us to curate. Seems like a good one!!
