Hey, just click back on the top left and then skip.

Follow up, @shpligthe updated driver's removed support for non-RTX cards as I understood so 10xx series and below no longer work with containers/apps but should still work with virtual machines because you install the drivers in the virtual machine and just have to make sure the card is passed through. @CosmoI am hoping the TrueNAS 26.1 update will address my specific card compatibility. A thread on the TrueNAS forum seems to suggest that NVidia driver 570. 172.08 is what shipped with Goldeye 25.10 and comparing that against the earliest Linux driver for the 5060 Ti on the NVidia website shows a driver version of 570.211.01. Long story short, I think this card just missed the boat on support but according to a recent TrueNAS blog post 26.1 adds NVidia driver 590.48 which means it'll definitely be supported on the next major HexOS release

I followed the instructions and it solved the problem for me. Can confirm an instant CPU usage drop. Thanks!

Hey, The Team believes there is a bug in Truenas itself related to the vendor service which triggers the command deck connection. This is currently under investigation.

I'm having the exact same issue on 25.10.2.1 — so the update alone doesn't fix it. I dug into it and found the actual root cause: The ix-vendor.service runs /usr/bin/start_vendor_service on boot, which calls vendor_service.py. This script starts a transient systemd unit called websocat.service (the websocket bridge between your local middleware and deck.hexos.com). The problem is that the script doesn't check whether websocat is already running before calling systemd-run --unit=websocat. If websocat is already active, the call fails with "Unit websocat.service was already loaded", but the script always exits with code 0 (it has a finally: sys.exit(0) block). Something then re-triggers ix-vendor, it fails again, and you get a rapid restart loop. Each loop iteration spawns a Python process that opens Docker sockets, and since the middlewared service only has a soft file descriptor limit of 1024, the FDs get exhausted quickly — hence the "Too many open files" error. Here's the fix that worked for me in truenas shell — a systemd override that adds a simple check before running the script: sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/ix-vendor.service.d/ sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/ix-vendor.service.d/no-loop.conf << 'EOF' [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'if systemctl is-active --quiet websocat.service; then echo "websocat already running, skipping"; exit 0; fi; /usr/bin/start_vendor_service' EOF sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl restart ix-vendor.service After this, ix-vendor shows active (exited) with status 0, websocat keeps running, and deck.hexos.com works fine. No more loop, no more FD exhaustion. I also raised the middleware FD limit as an extra safety net: sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/middlewared.service.d/ sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/middlewared.service.d/fd-limit.conf << 'EOF' [Service] LimitNOFILE=65536 EOF sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl restart middlewared Both overrides live in /etc/systemd/system/ which - as far as I understand it "so far" - survives reboots. After a HexOS update you may want to verify they're still in place. Hopefully the HexOS team can add the is-active check to vendor_service.py itself so this gets fixed upstream.

Hello, It seems the after the update some systems on reboot are reaching out to our server so it doesn't know your there. Try the following. Login to TrueNAS interface. Left side select "system". Then after screen refreshes select "shell" from the list. Paste in the following command. Can't use normal short cuts Will need to use Shift + Insert Key for pasting. sudo python /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/scripts/vendor_service.py If that works within about 1 min you should be able to go to deck.hexos.com and see your server or claim it.
