Pushing out a small patch today. This release addresses issues with app installations and includes updates to the forums. Bug Fixes App Installation Fixed issue with long running app installs - App installations that took longer than 2 minutes were incorrectly marked as failed, even when they completed successfully. The timeout handling has been improved to properly handle longer running app installs. Forums Along with these small bug fixes, you may notice a few changes around the hub. We’ve added new sections for each curated app supported by HexOS. This update will help us stay organized and respond more efficiently to issues related to app curation. It also makes it easier for us to share announcements, provide updates on ongoing bugs, and post solutions as they become available. Immich Following our recent Q3 update, you may have noticed some issues with Immich. We’re aware of what users are experiencing and are preparing a guide to help address these problems, which should be available soon.

I really appreciate the note acknowledging Immich as an open issue! I got my hopes up that this would automatically fix it. I will happily wait for the guide to walk me through what is needed!

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.

Absolutely, on it!

@csmanel is in charge of our docs site and I agree, this could be a good addition. Cole? You mind taking a stab at that?

Settings > Locations is where this functionality will live but it doesn't have the ability to remap locations in use at this time (have to do it before you load them up) but will have that in the future! When you install an app that requires a folder for say media, we auto create those folders for you to use to store them in, but if you have already manually done that, we have to add the ability to the command deck to remap those (coming in the future). For now you could remap via the truenas UI but it requires a bit of handholding from a TrueNAS rockstar to know what you're doing in there 😉

are we able to use our vpn with qbittorrent? I have privado

Evening, or morning for some. Here is my rantings about Permissions. If asked you what an app in the app user or group would be able to do with the following permissions, what would you say? USER : READ WRITE EXECUTE GROUP : READ WRITE EXECUTE OTHER : READ WRITE EXECUTE You'd think that yeah the apps should be able to read, write, execute etc. (Before you ask, yes the user/group were both set to App), but for some god unknown reason no. it didn't want to. Then eventually after a random stripe it did work and then I realized, "hey I can't access my shows file I set up to review the work of Sonarr?" No I the user, aka the Other in this scenario, CANNOT access my files. Alright I'll just go to ACL and add, "User : ME" Me being Me the user I set up for my Truenas, "Great i can now access my shows... hey why did my TV stop playing Plex videos?" Now my Plex and Sonarr don't see and can't read my shows, Why does adding ME as a 4th user in an ACL cause it to bug out? Alright let's double check maybe my User is set to like some weird settings... Nothing noticeable let's set everyone to be Read write execute again, and for good luck, i'll add an EVERYONE full control of EVERYTHING. For some added context though, this is what I dealt with today for the last hour or so when yesterday I was tearing my hair out with the same issues with just setting up Sonarr. So here's my proposition, a simple feature for simple people. a basic toggle button for what apps see and have permission to each dataset folder.
