Unless if @Mobius has another solution for your specific router (brand), you can also add 1.1.1.1 as the DNS server in your router, this way, you don't need to add a DNS server per device.

this is exactly what i would do for a tp link router.

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.

There is a chance this is happening because of how your router handles dns rebinding. Disabling dns rebind protection should allow you to access local. If you can share with me the brand of router you have I can share instructions for how to disable dns rebind protection

Still learning about NAS servers in general, but I'm potentially looking to build my first NAS though I'm still not sure of some of the finer details; I'm quite familiar with hardware but not so much on the software. All I want to do is have a storage server for all my video work and general backups, but I have poor internet at my parents house and want to avoid a network bottleneck as much as possible in the meantime. It seems on typical NAS units it is possible to connect directly into a device via ethernet using it's IP address, but is this possible to achieve on a DIY NAS through HexOS? Was considering HexOS because it seemed easy to use for a noob like me with minimal compromise and the ability to expand my storage capacity fairly easily, but bouldn't find anything regarding whether it's even possible to do a direct ethernet connection from desktop to desktop.

Hi All, this guide is now in the HexOS docs https://docs.hexos.com/community/community-guides/ReplicatingVirtualMachines.html

I just tried that and it seemed to work thank you! The truenas button is also not greyed out now so thats great. I am logged into a different computer on my network using a different browser but I will try it on my other computer as well

Another typical problem is if you use Pi-Hole together with Unbound or possibly Adguardhome.

Try the following. Most likely this will fix your issue. If this does, TrueNAS has a fix that is in it's next update. 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. You might need to run this after reboots. Let us know if this works. Thank you,

Hi everyone, this moring i though of a very good feature to add: gluetun + qbittorrent through a docker compose, just need to implement an interface where you select your vpn provider and fill the needed infos, you can add port forarding through the yaml install script ( for example for proton vpn) and i think i could be a very good option for the users who doesn't know how to setup a thing like this. i add below an example of a yaml docker compose file (mine): services: gluetun: cap_add: - NET_ADMIN container_name: gluetun devices: - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun environment: - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom - VPN_TYPE=wireguard - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - WIREGUARD_PUBLIC_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=10.2.0.2/32 - VPN_ENDPOINT_IP=185.246.211.193 - VPN_ENDPOINT_PORT=51820 - VPN_DNS_ADDRESS=10.2.0.1 - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=on - VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_PROVIDER=protonvpn - WIREGUARD_MTU=1420 - FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS=192.168.1.0/24 image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest ports: - '8080:8080' restart: unless-stopped volumes: - /mnt/HDDs/Applications/gluetun:/gluetun - /mnt/HDDs/Applications/gluetun:/tmp/gluetun gluetun-qbittorrent-port-manager: environment: HTTP_S: http PORT_FORWARDED: /tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port QBITTORRENT_PASS: password QBITTORRENT_PORT: 8080 QBITTORRENT_SERVER: localhost QBITTORRENT_USER: admin image: snoringdragon/gluetun-qbittorrent-port-manager:latest network_mode: service:gluetun restart: unless-stopped volumes: - /mnt/HDDs/Applications/gluetun:/tmp/gluetun qbittorrent: container_name: qbittorrent depends_on: - gluetun environment: - PUID=568 - PGID=568 - TZ=Europe/Paris - WEBUI_PORTS=8080/tcp image: ghcr.io/hotio/qbittorrent:latest network_mode: service:gluetun restart: unless-stopped volumes: - /mnt/HDDs/Applications/qbittorrent_vpn/config:/config - /mnt/HDDs/Applications/qbittorrent_vpn/data:/data - /mnt/HDDs/Downloads/qbittorrent:/downloads version: '3.9'

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.

I have a very similar situation, I want to use an old PC to make my first NAS for backing up important files from my Windows Desktop automatically (daily). I'm also new to NAS servers so I like the idea of using HEX OS for it's ease of use. I currently still live at University, so I imagine since I don't have any access to their router or admin privileges for the WIFI or internet that setting it up through a network connection like I would at home would be very difficult. It would be adequate for me to just connect to the NAS via a wired connection for now but before investing in Hex OS I would want to make sure this is possible.

Just a few things spring to mind that I’d love to see implemented at some point: - Jellyfin (my personal #1 most wanted) - Tailscale - Game servers (Minecraft, Valheim, etc.) - HomeAssistant would be super handy
