Offline Server for when SHTF happens. Anyone seen this yet? It’s from the guys over at crosstalk solutions. Wondering if it can be loaded as an app or a VM???

if im not mistaken it looks like it isn't a docker application. you'll likely be able to get it running inside of a linux vm

Ignore me, I just found the 'expand' button 🤦‍♂️

Hey there, unsure if this is the correct channel to post a suggestion, please direct me elsewhere if not. I was just expanding an existing pool from inside the UI after adding a new drive to my NAS, and after doing that I (wrongly) assumed it would be almost instant to expand the ZFS pool, because it isn't something I have done before. When I did it, I was surprised to see it stay on 25% for a long time, because I didn't know any better, and assumed something had gone wrong/got stuck with HexOS being beta software, which wasn't helped when I checked the TrueNAS interface and the running jobs said it was created by [object Object] which really made it feel like an error had happened somewhere.... After a bit of research I realised how expanding pools actually worked, and could see in the CLI that it was actually working and there wasn't an issue at all. I suspect it being stuck at 25% is an upstream TrueNAS issue, but a warning message that this process will take a long time to copy the data to the new disk (and maybe warn it will be stuck at 25%) within the HexOS dashboard would probably be a good idea to ease the worries of less savvy people who would see that and assume something went wrong, and potentially cause themselves issues by rebooting or something like that. Thanks, loving the software so far and I hope my suggestion can make it just a little bit better, keep it up!

I’m currently trying to migrate from Synology to HexOS/TrueNAS, and I’ve run into a major adoption hurdle. While TrueNAS is clearly powerful, the migration experience is not approachable for users who don’t fully understand every feature and configuration detail. Despite trying multiple approaches—including rsync/rsyncd and several YouTube tutorials—I wasn’t able to complete a successful migration from my Synology system to HexOS/TrueNAS. The tooling assumes a level of familiarity that many prospective users simply don’t have, especially those coming from more turnkey platforms like Synology. What’s critically missing is a guided migration wizard: something that can automatically discover or map existing Synology file shares to target shares on HexOS/TrueNAS and handle the data transfer with sensible defaults. This would dramatically reduce irritation, shorten time-to-value, and prevent users from abandoning the platform during their very first experience. In my view, a first-class migration experience should be a top-priority feature. Making it easy to move data from popular platforms like Synology would directly lower the barrier to entry, increase confidence for new users, and significantly accelerate adoption of HexOS/TrueNAS.

Currently doesn't look like there is one - I would definitely like a search as well. Maybe if they swap to Discourse?

It seems like the TrueNAS Scale build repo on GitHub is "no longer actively maintained": https://github.com/truenas/scale-build Will this affect HexOS in the long term?
