outside of running hexos as a vm, its not possible. glad i could help

it might work but jgreco, the guy that wrote the truenas 10gb primer, called it garbage. yup nvenc should be more than adequate for plex but we usually recommend intel cpus for the lower power draw vs amd cpu + gpu. I get not wanting to deal with 13th and 14th gen. its why i usually recommend 12th and older or the new core ultras. How much it matters really depends on your power costs, for me with my shit rates itll cost me close to $40 usd a year just from gpu idle costs. if this is your OS drive, i would recommend spending less and getting a smaller drive as OS drive doesn't really benefit from being larger than 16gb as the rest of the storage is locked out. you can save your self a bit of money getting arctic p8 max or p8 silent fans, both highly rated. 80 plus efficiency means almost nothing for us homelab nas users as our systems will be at idle most of the time. Check out this article of best psu's from the ppl that do the cybernetics ratings You want to scroll to the graph for idle 20-80w power at 230v (assuming your are in australia) and just find whatever has the most efficiency. in general psus that are rated for smaller loads tend to be more efficient at 20-80w

yes Kinda sorta. adding a m.2 ssd as L2ARC will automatically cache. the most used files and speed up the performance when reading them. A special VDEV will also speed up the entire ssd to a certain degree especially when you have thousands of folders with thousands of files in them like what i'd expect from database workloads. However its not actually tiered behavior

Great write up. I'd do it the same way Steps 1-6 is all that's needed (at this time) to reclaim a disconnected server using the same boot drive for anyone with that problem

in most cases its not but its also not making money like mining theoretically is.

Hexos vm support will be based on the the new truenas 25.04 incus for vm deployment system. I'm not sure if the specifics of what hexos will add to that system has been revealed yet to us. I imagine if hexos does modify it, it will just be for streamlining the process if it is required. Hexos vm support had not been implemented yet because the Hexos team was waiting for the new truenas system to release so they can build off it. At this time changing the kernel is not supported and I imagine its not going to be a supported feature but i can ask the team when i get a chance, if they ever plan on it.

Good observation, i'll see if i can look into that hypothesis

I haven't actually looked into how to do this myself. I'm still running a test server 😅 I would probably just follow along to a youtube video. Officially yes but there are workarounds for at least maintaining your storage. i'm not sure yet how nicely hexos plays with restoring app setups for config files.

very cool setup. One recommendation, since you are using a perviously used and older ssd as your boot drive, look into auto backing up your truenas config file maybe in the cloud. In case the boot drive fails itll just make the process slightly less painful. That said its probably a good idea for everyone to do this

last i heard it was coming sometime in 2025 with the version 1.0 update.

I imagine you will have to go into the truenas interface and configure the jellyfin app to see the same directories as plex. That said i am far from an expert on the matter, heck i only bothered to install jellyfin myself last week.

question did you have a raid z1 pool or a mirror pool? I'm just trying to figure out why hitting delete works for some users and not for others

Most users have reported not losing data but it is at your own risk. The less risky alternative is unplugging all your storage drives then going through hexos deck setup, once you are done with that you can turn off and then put everything back in

I think it's the not upgradable 2gb of ram

I believe windows 11 introduced some complications with smb shares. As a mac user i just never looked deeper into it and forgot the fix for it. hopefully someone else can point you towards the right direction

i believe he is using a readynas 422 here are its specs

Came across something really cool in a short circuit video TLDW its a ups/psu all in one unit. The second there is a beefier higher wattage version of this, i am most definitely getting it.

are you sure? i got some new drives in today and made a 2nd pool (using hexos interface) without any issues First pool was made using truenas ui (mismatched drive sizes) so maybe making pools in truenas makes a difference? edit: maybe installing 1 click apps are broken with 2 pools? edit2: i got plex to install just not immich, weird

It was for more of a because i can since 3 still cost less than one of your previous boot ssd. Ofc you can just do 2 and you'll more than likely be fine. It's more of a future proofing, eventually if you'll want to expand you can expand with 24tb drives which will no doubt go down in price. And your final total capacity will just be that bit higher. Plus 5x24tb with 1 parity drive will use less power than 6x 20tb with one parity drive and give you a similar amount of storage. I first made my storage server around 5 years ago and filled up with 14tb drives now the only good way for me to expand is to get a second system since sata slots in my opinion are pretty valuable I just woke up so sorry if this didn't make too much sense

I tried to keep to a similar budget and made the build i would rather have for the price. https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/Wb3wZc cpu: 12700k - cheapest cpu with intel uhd 770 igpu Mobo: asus something or other - has intel nic so theoritcally shouldn't cause you trouble and i like asus motherboards ram: gskill 64gb 5200mhz cl36 - slightly cheaper ram that is slightly faster and personally i like gskill ram, its the only brand i purchase ram from anymore cooler: thermalright peerless assassin 90 - its cheaper, should still fit in case and a reoccuring theme here, i like thermalright coolers os drive - cheaper ssd - its as big as you need, significantly cheaper, from a trusted brand and for fun i made it a triple mirror storage drive- 24tb exos, i like going with big drives and there are 4 of them because we can lol psu: went for a cheaper 750w psu because you have no need for a 850w even at max capacity, we could go even smaller but this one is very efficient edit: seems like i was typing this out before your newest post, so i'll look into it edit 2: i would say just take my list and adjust storage to your preferred budget you may even be able to find new exos drives for less on ebay but as i'm in a different part of the world than you its hard for me to check just make sure with any segate drives your purchase, regardless of how trusted the retailer is, you check the farm data to see if it actually is new.

I personally would go with intel if you plan on hosting a plex or jellyfin server. If you don't it doesn't really matter what you go with. One thing to keep in mind the network interface card (nic) on your motherboard is not compatible with hexos. the cheapest compatible one i could find is this one https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/WQTp99/asus-rog-strix-b650e-i-gaming-wifi-mini-itx-am5-motherboard-rog-strix-b650e-i-gaming-wifi However that one is short on sata ports. like your original pick so you will still need a hba card. you should go with the seagate exos drives that are higher end and cost less. (don't ask me to explain why its like this because i have no idea)

i have over 50tb of personal blu ray rips and linux isos with so many more blu rays i want to add. I'm eventually gonna combine my old server and current hexos machine (which has an empty 50tb) into one bigger 100+ tb server. once it gets that big itll also be used to replace google photos and computer storage. I'd get to stop purchasing anything more than the base storage for macbooks and phones.

The power savings compared to 12 hdds and reduced noise is just mouth watering. Fast ssd storage sound like such a treat, what do you plan on using yours for?

I still want a jonsbo n5 but outside of that the 120+ tb ssds are what i see in my dreams 😅

yes, usually people use immich here but photoprism should work too If your friend is on the same network as you it should plenty easy for them to back up stuff as well if they are on different networks, you would need to setup something like a reverse proxy for them. this can work, just the ease of it is pretty variable. I believe this can be done easily with plexamp but some features are locked behind a paywall. It does get a bit harder when you try to do this outside of plex absolutely no idea, not something i have done myself or even looked into. hexos is going to get built in vm support in the future. at this time outside of plex and immich setup most things are done manually via the truenas interface in the future more apps are planned to be able to install in 1 click
