https://docs.hexos.com/release-notes/command-deck/2026-08-07 Pretty significant update and groundwork has been laid for buddy backups (coming soon)!

I would like to propose a pair of features that would work in tandem. A dynamic DNS system (like DuckDNS) run by Eshtek could work wonders for users that have not purchased a domain name and might find it confusing to set up CNAME records to point multiple services to the same address. The cost of running DuckDNS is apparently negligible, so hopefully there would not need to be a subscription for the service (or if so, then maybe only a few pounds per year). Combine this with a built-in reverse proxy like Caddy -- which can automatically provision LetsEncrypt SSL certificates -- and curated apps would then be able to be made securely accessible over the internet via an address like: ${service-name}.${user-chosen-name}.hexos.com Apps could then advertise this as their address in the dashboard, making secure configuration of user apps significantly easier. The only user-configurable step that would be required would be to open ports 80/443 on the user's router, something that Eshtek cannot control, but crucially, something that the HexOS Deck *would* be able to check for, notifying users if their router is configured correctly. Since there is already a web service running on ports 80/443, this reverse proxy would need alternative ports, but most routers can receive a connection on one port and map it to a different port internally, so this is unlikely to present a major problem.

New Curations We have curated 3 financial apps this week. Vote for your favorite here on Hexos Hub or on reddit. Actual Budget - Actual Budget is a super fast and privacy-focused app for managing your finances. Firefly III - Firefly III is a free and open source personal finance manager. Sure - Sure is an all-in-one personal finance platform. Curation info Actual Budget Experimental curation that uses self signed https certificate. Users can expect to see certificate warnings regularly. Curation Updates Syncthing Bug fix - Media, Movies and Shows folders are now connected as intended. Special Acknowledgments khowe085 Reported the Syncthing bug

Yes, that is indeed the case. I'm more refering to the fact that HexOS does not account for this limitation, just happily upgrades from 32 to 34 and in the process bricks the installation. In fact, it doesn't even have a method of performing such a sequential update, I needed to go into TrueNAS Scale in order to do updates 1 major version at a time. The "can't skip major versions" of Nextcloud's update process should be well known by now, and the app is not marked experimental. HexOS's update process shouldn't allow an update skipping major versions to be performed at all.

This would be a nice feature. A lot of people struggle with reverse proxy setup.

+1. the amount of time I've spent trying to configure things through njinx proxy manager and have it not work is silly. If they offered a solution, even if it only worked with official apps at first, I'd reinstall Hex right away

Integrated default reverse proxy for docker apps so all apps available on 443 inside home network. integrated DNS to support app name.internaldomain.com with reverse proxy (this puts all apps on 443) Lets encrypt SSL by default for all apps all user has to do is buy domain name and enter it above and all just works support for split horizon DNS consider running the DNS service for folks to allow tight integration (this shouldn't preclude use of other dns services) this is not me advocating for how to expose anything externally, that's not an argument i want to get into 😉
