We recommend only torrenting legally, that could mean Linux iso's or free domain tv and movies. As for a vpn bundled release, we will evaluate that in the future. For now I recommend using a socks5 compatible vpn and setting up qbittorrent with a socks5 proxy in the app settings.

ram speed can help a little bit but more ram will vastly out perform faster ram for most homelab usecases.

Can confirm that this fix still works, I had this happen after HexOS updated today.

I found a fix for the problem. "The solution was probably to do the following in the TrueNAS shell: sudo python /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/scripts/vendor_service.py i will never know 100%, as I gave up long before mill3000 posted it here: " best of luck to you all.

Hello Eshtek team, Online are many guides to set up a perfect QBittorrent, Sonar, Radar, and Lidar setup with Gluetun for maximum convenience. With the new additions to scripts, would it be possible to make an all-in-one solution so that one just has to pass one's VPN credentials at the beginning and then everything is set up?

Like Cantos mentioned buddy backup and backing up to your own second server will be built on top of the same foundation and should be coming out together

Here is what Jon has said on the subject for HexOS. "The problem with SMART is that it leads to a lot of false positives. Users often replace drives too early due to a SMART notification that was being misinterpreted or overstated. SMART tries to be a crystal ball and predict when a drive is about to fail, but a lot of times it could be something totally unrelated to the drive that is causing SMART to act up (faulty SATA cable, bad PSU, etc.). In the world of TrueNAS, ZFS is the ultimate arbiter for deciding when a drive needs to be replaced. So I understand why TrueNAS doesn't feel the need to have a secondary "early warning system" when the system is already designed with fault-tolerance in mind. Furthermore it creates a giant burden of support as users constantly ask "well what does this SMART error mean to me?" I can tell you that from years of reading SMART data from customer systems, the answer on whether or not a drive replacement is really required is more often than not "it depends." Users that believe in using SMART can install the Scrutiny app. Our official stance on this is that ZFS is there to protect you from device failure, so SMART is just not necessary."

Hello, You shouldn't rename pools. It could brake SMB shares and defualt locations. Not worth it.

I encountered the same issue overnight. I was able to update the app in TrueNAS interface to 1.3.10 (can't recall the previous version) while it was in the "Deploying" state using the "three dots" next to "Edit" under "Application Info". Server still up as of 8 minutes ago.

Hi all! I wanted to share my NAS journey starting with something completely nonsensical to something I actually daily drive now. The first one was a DIY fully 3d printed case before I understood what all of this home lab stuff even was. I tried to connect several SSDs and an HDD to a raspberry pi via a USB hub. Surprisingly, it worked, but very badly. Open Media Vault didn't quite like this setup. The next attempt was a mini NAS based on axzez's Interceptor board crammed into a Sony DVD RW drive enclosure. It was actually decent! But too little space for upgrades. I initially ran OMV on it, but after a while HexOS came out, and that was my first HexOS NAS. That's when I began getting a grip on how a NAS actually works, what HexOS is for, and how to get the most out of it. So the next interim solution was a spare converted Mac Pro case with some custom 3d printed HDD holder bars, but still based on the aforementioned Interceptor board. This worked ok for files but lacked versatility for any other home lab use cases. I later upgraded this setup to a normal PC motherboard and relocated the HDDs to the top shelf. That was way better and that's when I got into all of the side apps that HexOS/TrueNAS could run like local AI, Immich, Plex, Jellyfin, etc. Finally, I shelled out for a case designed for a NAS. And what a difference that made! Building a NAS in a case designed for one is night and day compared to building in a hacked together Mac case.

Having AMP (https://cubecoders.com/AMP) supported would allow users to get game servers up and running super fast and easy! I know my primary use cases for hexos is media streaming, image backups, and gaming servers. The first two are already covered with plex and immich. Just need a game server app for hexos and therefore recommend AMP!

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 love the purple 3d printed case! It's really sweet.

Well, I don't recommend either one I tried but they were a fun distraction for a day. It also shows the overall ability of HexOS/TrueNAS that, in my case, it ran on a PI 5, loaded PLEX and played a video off an external HHD Not well mind you but it worked. And please don't tell the admins I said that because I will just have to deny it. I have my reputation to consider. 😉

radarr, sonarr, prowlarr, qbittorrent have already been curated into 1 click install applications Portainer, Adguard Home, Karakeep, Homepage, NZBget, RustDesk, and Tautulli are available on the TrueNAS app store for manual installation Ombi can be installed via docker compose or you can use seerr to do a similar task.

Since the rollout of HexOS local the "hexos (ix-app)" showed up in the TrueNAS app list. Makes sense for running HexOS local software on TrueNAS. The app is showing to have available updates in the TrueNAS app list. Of course, this app doesn't show up the HexOS Deck interface. So I cannot update it from there. My question is: - What should I do with this app? - Should I update it manually? - Will HexOS update it automatically? When? - Why does it show an update but didn't update automatically yet? I understand, that the intention for HexOS is to never have to touch TrueNAS. For my use cases I do very often and just wondered about this.

Hi there :). I'm upgrading from a hdd enclosure that I had connected to a mini-pc to this. I'll have 48tb of usable space and plan on upgrading with another 5hdd's at some point and then another 5hdd's even further down the line. I'll eventually add a GPU as well. Looking at the Nvidia Quadro p5000. Named the server Leela 🙂 CPU - Intel Core i9-12900K Mobo - ASUS Z790 Prime Gaming Mem - 64gb DDR5 (16x4) Boot Storage - 1tb nvme Teamgroup Mass Storage - WD Red 12tb NAS HDD's x5 SAS - SVNXINGTII SAS9305-16i PSU - NZXT C1000 ATX 3.1 Case - RackOwl 4U Server Chassis

Yep! Since ZFS uses RAM for caching, more RAM means more cached data which means faster retrievals. Compared to the bottlenecks like 1Gb networking, HDD speeds, etc, RAM speed shouldn't be very impactful.

Concerning question 1: Nowadays, the memory controller is baked into the CPU, so the CPU defines the supported Memory speed and quantity (mainly). In this case it is the 2666 which was mentioned and since everything higher then this is considered overclocking, and a lot of H370 boards don't support overclocking, that's why you are likely limited to this speed. Some Mid- to High End H370 boards support overclocking but I doubt that an OEM board does. Therefore, don't go with faster RAM and take more RAM instead.

before i built my server i did a decent amount of google searches to see if faster ram makes a difference. Pretty much everyone just said to focus on more ram than faster ram.
