I'm deeply disappointed to hear this. We did have a banner on the forums for a while pointing to the Q2 update, but the post itself is still where all of our update posts have been going: the Announcements forum. In addition, there have been multiple Command Deck updates since then that have seriously improved deck.hexos.com performance and responsiveness, as well as resolved a significant networking bug. Check out the Announcements forum and specifically posts by @jerod (our CTO). FYI, I'm Jon (the CEO and Co-Founder). Clearly we're missing some simple comm relays (like the Q2 update dropping) and some of our terminology could be more clear (differing from major and minor updates, OS vs. Command Deck as well). I do apologize for that, as comms are ultimately my responsibility right now. I've told our dev team to stay out of the forums beyond reading posts and communicating with @mill3000 on relevant support tickets. No blame on them for their lack of activity here. And while I greatly appreciate your input and desire for a dev-blog, we honestly just don't have the appetite to do it right now. Writing blogs wasn't part of the job description for the dev team either. We're putting all of our effort and the capital that was entrusted to us by customers (like you) towards building the product. I'm not sure what you mean by this comment. Is there an app you're trying to bring to HexOS that you've developed? I get it. You feel strongly about the devlogs. 😮‍💨 I don't. We're not even making big investments in marketing right now (our website is still the same from after launch week). All the capital is going towards making this thing really great (including backing/funding the ZFS AnyRaid project). Maybe that changes in the future when it makes more sense to me. Right now, each on-the-clock keystroke from our dev team goes to writing code or communicating ideas internally to further the project. I provide updates as I can and when there's something important to say (such as a release dropping). Clearly you're missing some of those and I'm struggling to understand how and why. It's important that I get this sorted because if it's happening to you, I'm sure it's happening to others as well. Especially as we're now moving at a faster pace than we were in the first half of 2025 and anticipate more frequent updates moving forward. I feel this too. 🤦‍♂️ I see the purchases you made and when you made them. @mill3000 referred to you as an OG and he's not wrong. No worries, I ignored all the BS from your post....mostly ;-). I definitely recommend checking your server for the Q2 update (the Command Deck will immediately be different if you haven't noticed already) and if you haven't, apply the available OS update from the Activity card on the dashboard. We have a lot more in store for Q3. I'm working on a few blog posts now. one to catch everyone up from June, and another to talk about our upcoming plan for apps. Thanks for taking the time to let us know how you're feeling. I'm confident if you purchased based on the vision you saw from us last year, you'll be happy you did by the end of this year. If you ultimately feel sour about this and want a refund now, let me know and we'll take care of it for you.

Did I miss this somewhere, or is it still not implemented? Considering that we are relying on your website security to protect our systems, I would have considered MFA a priority.

100%. We are opening that up this week and doing a little forum reorg. Support forums will still be locked to paid customers only, but announcements will be opened up.

I ran into the issue that my boot drive was corrupted and I had to restore my HexOS install from scratch. I found posts that said basically just reinstall it but nothing that explained the process. I had several issues, when I reinstalled HexOS it wanted to wipe my raid, once i disconnected the raid and went through the initial setup, I had no shares. So I wanted to document this so that others with this issue find a solution instead trying to rename and recreate shares and move data between datasets. This was done after I figured out a process for doing this so sorry if I missed any steps. Step 1. Remove the bad boot drive. Step 2: Disconnect the Raid drives. Step 3: Install your new boot drive and usb HexOS install media. Step 4: Follow the standard install process, including setting your admin account and claiming your server. When you finish the setup you will not have any disks so you will name your server and just continue. Step 5: Shutdown the system. Step 6: Reconnect your raid drives and boot up. Step 7: Log in to the TrueNAS gui by going to the IP address of your server in the browser and using the credentials you set up during install Username: truenas_admin Password: <whatever you entered at install>. Step 8: Go to Storage Tab and select Import Pool. 9: Select your pool from the drop down it should be named 'HDDs' and select Import. It will take a few minutes to import and complete. At this point the storage should be detected in HexOS and you should be able to start creating shares, but your existing folders and shares will not have returned. To get your shares back you must recreate them by renaming your datasets and naming them back as follows: Step 1: Under Datasets you can find all of your existing data on the RAID. Find the Dataset you want to restore in HEXOS and note the name. Step 2: Back in HexOS go to the Folder tab and select 'New Folder' Note: you may want to recreate your old users manually or create your folders with public access and recreate the users and add permissions later. Step 3: Create a new folder with the same name as the Dataset but add a 1 (In this case 'Plex1'). Make sure to keep the array the same 'HDDs; and give it the permissions you want (this can be adjusted later). Step 4: Back in TrueNAS go to Shares and select the edit button on the 'Plex1' share, depending on screen resolution you may need to scroll the horizontal scroll bar to the right. Step 5: In the side bar remove the '1' from the Path or use the drop down to select the original shared folder, then click into the Name field which should auto update and remove the 1. Step 6 Scroll down and click 'Save' and you will be prompted to restart the SMB service, do this and your share should be updated. Step 7: Navigate to the dataset tab select the 'Plex1' dataset and click delete on the right side. It will make you confirm by typing the whole dataset path. Step 8: When this is done you should be able to refresh the folders tab on the HexOS page and see the updated folder name (it took a minute to refresh for me). Redo this for each share that you wish to recreate. Once I did this and set up the users and permissions correctly, other servers I used to connect to my shares started working seamlessly. I didn't experience this but I can imagine you may run into some permissions issues since the new users in HexOS could have different IDs than before. Unfortunately you would need to manually adjust permissions on the files and folders. P.S. I imagine minutes after posting this someone will tell me I am dumb and should have done it this way, or someone else posted better over here. If that's the case let me know and Ill point to a better example, but when I needed help I couldn't find it.

Hi all. My $.02 is that there should be a way to echo or display the TrueNAS errors from within the HexOS management GUI. Basically, I have been trying to apply the new update(s) to my system, and it took me forever to realize that they were failing because I didn't assign enough space to my boot drive to download and unpack the update contents.

Hey, With Ryzen 1000-3000 CPUs you have to disable all the C-states or else the server is constantly freezing, just something to keep in mind

Yup. It's 2 x 6 wide z2 vdevs or rather it will be once my transfer is complete and i can move over my drives for now is just 1 6 wide z2 vdev I'm using rsyncui, a rsync gui for Mac My old server is barely a server. It's a Macbook connected to das. I had it run a samba server and my old jellyfin server. It's also WiFi connected so that limits my speeds Not yet, i put it off since i haven't had a power outage once since i moved here 3 years ago. But i definitely need one sooner than later. Part of the reason i kept putting it off was that the nut compatibility list always seems so daunting

Hello, not sure if it was requested already, but a curation for the "Actual Budget" app would be greatly appreciated. I found it by looking at the apps tab, and did some more research on it and i would love to switch to it instead of my current app of Quicken since I pay yearly to use it. I think it would help many nowadays due to inflation. Thanks!

I used to be able to give a confident yes before but im actually not sure. I think truenas scale 25 added some new flags to zfs pools preventing being used on machines running at the latest truenas 24 (which hexos is still based on). hexos will be getting an update sometime in q3 that should bring it up to truenas 25. once that happens it will go back to a confident yes. ofc i can be completely wrong about 25 update to zfs feature flags breaking compatibility with older os versions or misunderstanding it. I think it was a manual update too so if you didn't update it simplifies things. i don't have enough experience on the matter to confirm any of your other questions. hopefully someone else can chime in with more info. at this time a lot of hexos features have not been fully implemented. if you switch over now you will be seeing more of the same and having to deal with a lot of truenas stuff for apps because hexos only supports 2 apps for one click installs right now. Once the q3 update drops im expecting hexos to really ramp up with more 1 click install apps.

Ah i tried to look for parts using the same region as you using pc part picker, guess it didn't work. Honestly the different variation of the cooler are all pretty similar so i wouldn't worry about v1 vs v2 or digital or whatever variants they have. It might just drop to lower speeds faster since it'll cool the cpu faster. You can always edit the fan curve to one that makes more sense for you You are always better off using less fans that don't have to work hard. In the long run you'll save plenty of money just on electricity from having less fans on top of not having to buy as many fans. Mesh in general will heavily increase airflow and keep it so your system is at s lower temp in general. It might sound contradictory because i just recommended increasing fans for your cpu cooler but that is more fans that don't have to work as hard. Yeah that's a good idea. Just avoid Arctic's heat sink. If you of have a heat sink on the back of your motherboard use a thermal pad to connect the ssd to the case instead (generic advice because too sleepy to check your motherboard again)

not the 7e10 series there are a lot of segate exos 12tb drives. exos x24, x18, x16, x14, x12 serieses all have 12tb drives.

defintely also check out the prices for seagate exos drives, they are surprisingly affordable. its very possible your cpu despite its age is more than adequate for transcoding. i would test it on its own first prior to committing to a gpu. a gpu would add idle power draw and the costs do add up over time.

Looks like a solid system. No dramatically oversized boot drive, Intel NIC, CMR HDDs (if you stay with the Red Plus variant, absolutely avoid SMR drives) Depends on what your needs are, but as a NAS with only plex and not to many streams in parallel, this should be up to the task. You can edit a post 5-10min after you posted it, after that you can no longer edit it.

A reorganization of the forums is in the works and the team is aware that having a few sections hidden can be a bit confusing.

highly highly recommend you post your parts list PRIOR to purchasing things. There are so many gotchas in server building that was never relevant in pc building. honestly even i wish i had someone check my parts list prior. Now after making all the mistakes i'm able to point everyone else in the right direction 😅

I'll just answer myself. It is. I had previosly updated TrueNas to Fangtooth which is not supported and I messed up the boot pool so I wanted to reinstall but was worried about it (I was thinking on just dropping HexOS and use TrueNas directly with the latest version). I was able to reinstall everything following these steps (I had a recent copy of the truenas config): Follow steps 1 to 6 Update TrueNas from the UI to Fangtooth Reimport TrueNas config profit This was easier than I though and I didn't lose any data.

Yeah I couldn't decide on drives either. I found HDDs too slow to run VMs, and never spin down if apps were using them for storage. I experimented with an 'all NVME' setup (using small/cheap/spare drives) and found it suited my needs very well, so have just gone ahead and ordered 4 X 1TB WD Red drives for my next re-build. I don't know about the rest of the world, but if you order them direct from Sandisk (2 or 4 at a time) you can get them really cheap... https://shop.sandisk.com/en-gb/products/ssd/internal-ssd/wd-red-sn700-nvme-ssd?sku=WDS100T1R0C-68BDK0 I'll put it up in the 'show and tell' in due course...

It's not about delivering on a milestone promise, it's about how customers experience the product. Imagine being someone who thinks they're buying a "plug and play" NAS software, meant to hide the complexities. They particularly like the idea of local image storage. They pay $200 for HexOS. They install it, see Immich, and find that it doesn't install. Assuming this person was not involved in the forums, this was their experience of the product between the time app installations and updates stopped working in last year's TrueNAS version, and the delivery of the Q2 update where (if I remember correctly) there was a prompt to update TrueNAS. And now? Same thing. A new customer would again see a broken feature. Assuming they do go to the forums they see it's supposedly "top priority" to fix, but a month and a half later the response is "wait and see in Q3". Your perspective as a company seems to be entirely technology focused, but you have users now. Who are customers. They're not all geeks. They don't all read forums. I think it would be a good idea to spend a bit more time considering how they experience the product and any issues with it. That doesn't necessarily mean throwing everything else on the back burner to hurry up and fix an issue immediately, but at least surfacing information in the HexOS interface where most people would expect it to show up, might be a good idea. I can think of no good reason for instead letting users just try and fail to use a feature that is currently known to be broken. My intent here isn't to bash. It's the same type of feedback I give our R&D department where I work, when they try to release products that are fine for a technical person, but six months away from being ready for consumers. They can get laser focused on making the technical side work, and aren't always able to take a step back and think like a user. If you (as in the company) don't really care, fine, it's your business. I think you _should_ care more than you seem to be doing, is all I'm saying. 🙂 I won't flog this horse any more now. No need to respond, I just hope it's taken onboard as constructive feedback.

I think it only right that multi factor authentication on accounts be something that gets implemented relatively quickly. The simple Username/Password for the account is very 90's With HEXOS being relatively new and gaining a lot of attention. Last thing you want is negative publicity due to weak security posture. some sort of MFA should be standard option.

+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

its not just slow during rebuild but slow during all operations. ahh candian dollars. you should be able to find similarly priced exos drives as well at smaller sizes.

its not a hexos issue but rather cmr drives don't play nice with raid in general. if you use raid with your drives you are not gonna have a good time regardless of os. you can still use them but they will be slow as sin if you can return then you can get a significantly better value at the same price or less https://www.ebay.com/itm/236143802502 this is in the same price range, sold by seagate themselves, almost double the size, cmr drive and a more vibration resistant enterprise drive. you can probably find even better values since this was less when i bought it a month or 2 ago.

So don't know when it actual happened but today i was able to create a pool with one 500gb SSD that I am using for all my ISO files and it seem to be working great just upload about 60 ISO on there a few minutes ago. Keep up the good work. I would rater wait on proven CODE that have issues that I think its all my fault AH!!! P.S. I have not been around much for the last two months, wife has been in an out of hospital but I am back now.

i was able to mount 6 - 2.5" drives where jonsbo only recommended 4 In the product images for the n5 case they show 2.5" drives being mounted with the long side horizontally i ended up mounting them with the long side vertically and having the connectors on the bottom of the case. it was definitely a tight fight for sure and while i was able to get it to work with standard non angled cables, i will highly recommend left angle sata cables like the ones included in the image below. The other issue i had was that i ran out of screws for the ssd mounting. i think jonsbo gave enough for 5 ssds (the 4 they intended you to mount and 1 more incase you lose screws) At first the only screws i could find freely slid left and right on the mounting rails without me even noticing. I can imagine if i didn't notice the klinking and clanging it would inevitably cause would drive me nuts. Eventually i found 2 screws that worked perfectly in my stash of screws from the various pc cases i have bought. My 7th 2.5" ssd got the short end of the stick and was vhb taped to an empty area. the power supply situation gave me so many headaches. I couldn't decide between an 850w or a 1000w psu. pcpart picker estimated my wattage above 850w but my math didn't match theirs i couldn't find a lot of what was available on the best psu list the ones i could find didnt have enough sata power ports I also did not want to use molex to sata adapters or vice versa for risk of fire or damaging components chatpt essentially told me it was a bad idea eventually i was enticed by a psu not on the list but i guess a step up from one that did decently on the list The Super Flower LEADEX VII Platinum PRO 850 W which had a TWELVE sata power ports. i was torn between the 850w and the 1000w versions of that psu and the prices were only $10 apart when i first looked. they both even came with super flower's high performance megacool fans (that are as loud as jet engines) when it was finally time to bite the bullet the 850w psu price dropped by another $20-30 and the bonus fans that came with the 1000w changed to something that was less desirable to me. The reduced price, more desirable fans and my own math showing 850w was enough to convince me to get the the 850w psu. A cool feature that i previously thought was a gimmick is that on the psu end almost every connection uses a universal plug. This lets your buy more sata power cables in case you want use the psu in a case that can fit even more hdds. A psu with enough sata power connections was only one of my problems, another was that my sata cables were too short. even with creative routing of cables i just was not able to connect 2 of my sata power cables. i reluctantly had to purchase sata cable extensions. in hindsight i could have just bought 1 or 2 more of the universal sata cables and route them where i need them but i was near the end of my build and really didn't want to pull out the psu again. Also finding the right cables would be a risk too if done wrong. Im sure i have more to comment on but these days no time to sleep or think with the overtime shifts this darn server forced me to take 😅 next part to come eventually

jellyfin was announced as the next app and an template was announced too

Hi All, I'm super excited about this project and I finally have all the components I need for my new NAS, I wanted something small, quiet and with decent power, here is the breakdown: TerraMaster F8 SSD Plus 48GB DDR5 RAM - TerraMaster says it only supports 32GB, but it seems to work fine 8 x 8TB WD Black SX850X NVME drives 512GB NVME Boot Drive - This is a 2230 nvme inside a small USB case and connected to the internal USB port on the motherboard where the TOS USB drive lives. The only downside is that this is only USB2. Things to note: There seems to be an incompatibility with the Debian backend which resulted in the system to go into a boot loop. To fix this I had to make the following changes in the BIOS Disable Secure Boot Disable VT-d Disable ‘Boot TOS first’ Once this was done I was able to install HexOS, all 8 nvme drives were detected and setup with raidZ1 giving me 56TB of total storage. The RAM and 10GB NIC also function correctly, though the dashboard icon displays it as 5GB, however I was able to confirm it is actually 10GB from the terminal. I've setup my first shared folder and performed some basic copy and paste tests, I'll do some proper performance testing and report back. As the Intel processor has an iGPU I will also get Plex installed and test some transcoding. I'll probably wait until version 1 is released before making the jump and migrating all my data from my Synology NAS. Until then, I look forward to testing new features as they are released. Keep up the good work HexOS team 🙂

That's impressive, glad that it's working as you expected it =D Is your pool 2 now RaidZ2? 🙂 How do you intend to copy the files over? If the old server is Hexos/Truenas I would recommend replication task via network or just chuck the old drives in the new server and do a replication tasks from one pool to the other. If it's none Hexos/Truenas then good luck 😁 nah just kidding rsync is also awesome and if you leave it running you should be done in a week 🙂 Do you have an UPS for your setup?

would love to see that

The update is ok to do. It was a minor hotfix change related to Active Directory support (doesn’t directly affect us). With activity UI in place, only valid updates should show up now. We are still locking users to the 24.10 train, but updates within that train are fine.

yes bite the bullet and use the 1tb drive for something else. i wouldn't use it for cache but you can make a single drive pool to install your apps to.

Hi, I have a similar issue. I installed HexOS completely new. A single Folder(also share) and set all the location to a path in the folder. I tried to install Immich but it just says that there is server error. In truenas, the app pool is set. I dont see any running jubs during installation. Can some one provide guidance on where i should look? Another note is that my folder is Private with access to one user. Also let me know if you need any other info.

i am waiting for that

Thanks for your feedback and I wholeheartedly agree. I have gotten some very helpful messages from another community member here who actually acts as a Community Manager for some other pretty popular products. We are planning to expand the team in the future specifically in this area. I'm confident that by the end of Q3, you'll be much happier with the frequency of communication and updates!

Hello, I successfully installed HexOS using UTM on macOS with an Apple M3 CPU (ARM). UTM, which is built on QEMU, allows you to emulate* a different architecture if you’re running something other than ARM. In this case, it was used to emulate x86_64, which is required for HexOS. Notes: • Disable UEFI: Ensure UEFI is disabled in the hypervisor template. • Use BIOS: During the HexOS installation process, do not enable UEFI; choose BIOS instead. • Add Pool Drives Later: Pool drives (IDE) were added after the initial setup. If this step is not followed, the deck may not be able to locate the local server. • App Installation: Apps were added via the TrueNAS interface because the HexOS installation was failing at 60%. • Hardware Settings: • Architecture: x86_64 • System: Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) (alias of pc-q35-9.1) (q35) • Emulated Display Card: virtio-vga-gl (GPU Supported)

FYI!

i'm thinking something similar to our smb instructions would be nice. Just a few links with write ups on how to setup rsync on different platforms.

It does not break anything, myself and others have been using it this way for months

I was able to get it to work by uninstalling Plex and re-installing it directly from TrueNAS. The key thing is make sure you set up the Data, and Cofiguration Storage locations all as ixVolume (Dataset created automatically by the system) This should only take you 5-10 mins

I'd be happy to work with any/all commenters to help create a guide we can add to our DIRECTORY OF GUIDES - @Tamaluko Is your first post sufficient or would any additions or edits be helpful?

Honestly wish I was more help, new to this whole hexos/truenas thing... it is 100% working, plex shows HW in the dashboard when transcoding and CPU usage doesn't jump with 6 transcoded 4k streams going. As to what I did... I tried installing plex through Hexos, which made the folders and stuff for me, but transcoding didn't work despite showing the GPU, ended up uninstalling plex, and reinstalling via truenas using the default save paths that Hexos did, that also didn't work. I then uninstalled again and installed using truenas default install paths, and just adding the paths for my movie storage. Then the transcoding started working fine. I'm sure it's some permission issue in the background somewhere, but I couldn't figure it out but this worked for me. Your mileage may very lol

Hey folks. Just want to share the the HexOS team is aware of the IntelARC GPU passthrough issue and has a test system being used to try and ID and diag/resolve the issue. Thank you for your patience.

I do have an intel A380 working with Plex, I ended up having to do the plex install in Truenas instead of Hexos and fight for a bit... but was able to get HW decoding going.

In truenas go into 'system > shell' Run this midclt call app.gpu_choices | jq Take note of the output - you need the pci_slot value, this should look something like 0000:01:00.0 and you need the uuid value which should look something like GPU-ab0fdc2d-e1f7-d2fc-54e0-5b34ff44c3d9. You can copy from shell by highlighting the text and using CTRL + Insert Then run the following replacing PCI_SLOT with your pci_slot value and GRU_UUID with your uuid value sudo midclt call -job app.update plex '{"values": {"resources": {"gpus": {"use_all_gpus": false, "nvidia_gpu_selection": {"PCI_SLOT": {"use_gpu": true, "uuid": "GPU_UUID"}}}}}}'

Great job on the FAQ HexOS as I think it covers the bulk of the initial potholes people could step in. I making this post to remind people this is a "Beta" software. By definition that means it is far from complete or even ready for prime time / public release. The whole point of a beta test pool is to provides developers with valuable insights into the user experience, which they can use to make improvements before the product is released to all users. (in other words, it's absolutely not going to work perfectly, nor should you expect it to). The reason we all got it for $99 is (by default) we agreed to find all the faults in the current state of the software. Although HexOS is built on TruNAS Scale, it is NOT TrueNAS Scale. Please keep that in mind when proving your feedback. Also, it should go without saying, but I'll state it outloud, It is highly recommended and should be common sense/practice to not take risks with your most important data. If you only have one NAS, and every important document, photo and video that you own in the world is on that, I would suggest you wait before you install the beta software, and or be sure to back up those files somewhere easily accessible "off the nas". Lastly, regardless, if your current nas manufacture, allows installation of third-party software or not, you should always make a back up or clone of your original/current boot drive in such a way that if the unit completely crashed, you could re-insert a USB/SSD or log in some other way (ssh, terminal, etc.) to restore it back to its original operating software. These are good practices to have with any software changes, but even more critical in testing beta software. If you don't have more than one nas to test this on, or a way to backup your data off the nas, then I would recommend (like so many have chosen to do) that you sit tight on your current license, and hold off installing in till the software is further down the road or all the way to "Production Release" (see attached image.

Since its a NAS Software, I would like to see some Data management apps like Jellyfin- for tv, movies and music media Audiobookshelf - for audio media Kavita - for book media Tandoor - for recipies Paperless NGX - for Document sorting Trillium - for Notes BookStack - for wikilike knowledge base HomeBox - for real life storage management 😉 Some reverse proxy with with SSO Other Apps I would like to see but would also be fine with hosting it via dockge ScratchMap - because its fun and I can link to immich folders Vikunja - for kanban style planning exercisediary - for tracking my weights metube to download youtube wallos to plan subscription fees

I will be having family use my server for backing stuff up and as we all know end users always end up accidently deleting things and then wanting them back. Luckily, TrueNAS has a recycle bin option and hopefully HexOS can add it in one day as a setting that can just be turned on. For anyone who finds this and wants to do it, here are the steps: Set up the folder in the HexOS UI and then in the TrueNAS UI go to: Shares > Click edit on the SMB you want to add the recycle bin too > Purpose = No Presets > Click Advanced Options > Scroll to Other Options > Check Export Recycle Bin Then you will want to set up a job to automatically empty your recycle bin: Navigate to Chron Jobs in the TrueNas UI (just search for it but it's under System > Advanced Settings). Click add then you can either enter this into the command field as ONE LINE or save it to a file find /mnt/HDDs/FOLDER/.recycle/* -atime +30 -delete; find /mnt/HDDs/FOLDER/.recycle/* -depth -type d -empty -delete; If you want to test to see what files will be deleted with this command run it without the "-delete" If you save it to a file (like I did) you will enter this as the command. sh /mnt/HDDs/PATH_TO_FILE/empty_recycle_bin.sh Then just fill out the description, run as truenas_admin, and how often you want it to run and you are good to go. Hope this helps and hopefully it can just be a 1 click type of setup in the future!! P.S. Here is what the commands do: The first command searches for files and directories in /mnt/HDDs/FOLDER/.recycle/ that have not been accessed in the last 30 days and deletes them. The second command searches for empty directories in /mnt/HDDs/FOLDER/.recycle/ and deletes them. Also commands were stolen from here

I know this is a request for a more 'One click' Hex TM integration, but incase people wanted to test this now, you can do this in Hex + TN today. (already had mine running a week without issue. TIME MACHINE INSTALL GUIDE Create a Folder & name it time machine (or a custom name) Set the Folder permissions (I left mine open, add user permissions here to restricted access) Navigate to the TrueNas UI (Server IP > Username: truenas_admin Pasword: server password from install) Navigate to the Shares tab, you should see your newly created share. Click on edit (pencil) On the Purpose drop down change to > Basic or multi user time machine. Press save/apply, and it'll prompt a restart of the SMB process. Go to your mac settings > general > Time machine. Click the + icon and locate your time machine share, then click setup disk. FYI if you aren't already connected to your Hex server, you'd need to do so now. Either search for the server in the network tab of finder OR connect to the server with finder > go > connect to server > SMB://[THE IP OF YOUR HEX SERVER] You can now choose to encrypt your backup with a password + if you choose, restrict the total disk usage the backup will have. You should now see your time machine backup setup. This will start automatically, but you can create a back up straight away if you choose. AUTO CONNECT SHARED DRIVE SETUP Now that could be it, but to ensure your Time machine backup will always occur, you need to ensure your Mac is always connected to your Hex server. to do this, we need to add the share to the login items Open Settings > general > Login items > click the + icon Locate your connected time machine share, then click open. You should now see the drive in the login items. That's it, you should be all setup and running.

Sorry, if this has been asked before & posted elsewhere. Would be handy to have app support for steam caching, especially for big/medium family's/house hold share. I can understand this will not be on the radar as yet, while sorting other issues out/beta etc

Home Assistant, Tailscale. It would be super cool if there was a one-click install for game servers as well.

@Sam of HamPretty sure I saw some screenshots from the WAN show that HomeAssistant as being part of the one-click installs, so look forward to that!
