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.

HexOS is looking to add an App Support & Curation Specialist to the team! Position is Full-time, Remote You will: • Help users with app issues • Approve and maintain our one-click app installs • Write clear announcements and docs • Work with developers and communities on solutions • Report and help fix issues across HexOS Read the full description: https://docs.hexos.com/careers/app-curator/ Apply by sending your experience to join-apps@hexos.com

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.

Have you considered pulling out the Immich update notification from the release? Or at the very least, posting announcements in-app an pinned on the forum about the issue, what users should be doing, what is your plan. I have had to scan multiple threads and posts to come to the conclusion that I should probably just wait, not try to update Immich, and that you might be sorting this out in a future release. What I know from the team is that you are working on the issue, it's not your fault, but no guidance 😕

Would be happy to read more updates. The last blog post is from May. An update every 4-8 weeks would help maintain belief in this project. Actually, it looks dead.

I know, you've already got Plex - but I rather like Emby. Please and Thanks.
