have you tried claiming your server via the ip address? alternatively i have heard that sometimes a reinstall of hexos can fix the problem

This is the way 👍

I could be wrong but my understand of deep link is that Intel themselves need to create a version for Linux and once they do that truenas/hexos can add support

More than likely once battlemage is supported by truenas it'll be added to the next hexos update.

i have around 50tb of stuff so thats def gonna take a while when i finally transfer it.

some users have reported it not breaking HexOS the official stance of the HexOS team is that it is not a supported usecase and it may or may not break things.

we have a virtual machine manager as part of our roadmap. No idea when we can expect it though.

If i had to guess it'll be the apps the community wants the most. As for when the release of 1.0 will be, it's hard to say. It would be great if it'll come out by the end of the year but with any evolving project it's hard to predict that far ahead into the future.

This will eventually come to HexOS. Can't give you a timeline but we know that a lot of users actually want to migrate over from Scale.

we have a roadmap here in a blogpost. An updated one will be coming in the not too distant future. joining their partner program is an interesting suggestion, i can pass on your suggestion but no promises it'll go anywhere. it's an interesting program and something like it may be considered after we leave beta.

There should not be a time limit for activating a license. Many of us here have bought a first or second license intending to activate it a lot later (myself included) Activating a license is pretty easy, once you install HexOS and turn on your machine, on a different device (on the same network) you go to Deck.Hexos.com and you can claim your server which will automatically activate it. Yes you can play with HexOS in a vm and there are a few users that run a HexOS vm in proxmox. You can always remove your Hexos license from your vm and move it to a different machine if you desire. If you have anymore questions don't hesitate to reach out.

More RAM is always better but we tend to recommend 1gb RAM per Tb of storage.

so far my gecko browser of choice has been floorp but i'd defintely check out zen if every get fed up with vivaldi

this past year ive been hopping from browser to browser every month looking for a good chrome replacement. I've mostly come to terms with the perfect browser doesn't exist sadly. If majority of the internet wasn't designed to run perfect on chromium and treat Gecko as an afterthought, i would have happily stayed on a Firefox fork like zen. It's been a while since i used a gecko based browser (i front loaded them in my browser testing) so i don't remember examples but i remember just being frustrated with its compatibility. I eventually settled on Vivaldi a chromium based browser.

very impressive but hard to beat the shock of seeing doom on a pregnancy test

My Hexos build is shelved for now as well. I think once single drive pools are supported i will start my machine up again. i'm also saving up to purchase a Jonsbo N5 case after which i can fully setup my nas.

Defintely a good watch for someone that plans to buy new HDDs in the future.

ah i figured that buddy backup would work on same site too.

Well once buddy backup arrives that will likely be your best bet. until it arrives your best bet is checking out this page to see what makes most sense for you https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/gettingstarted/configure/setupbackupscale/

Theoretically it is possible however not officially supported at this time. I can only give your the possible methods but can't make any promises it will work Option 1: transplant the boot drive and all the drives of your current machine to the new one (Deck might not think it is the same device in which case you will have to reclaim it) Option 2: install hexos on the new machine, claim your new server on Deck, you will have to bypass drive erasure in 1 of the following ways when it asks you if its okay to delete your drives , hit yes and it will fail (happened to me and multiple other users but no promises it will work for you) bypass erasing your drives by plugging in 2 usb sticks and letting hexos make a pool with that keeping your HDDs unplugged and hoping for the best when you claim your server creating a new pool with drives that werent part of your original pool Once you bypass the drive erasure screen you go into truenas and migrate the pool from there. This may or may not work.

Not sure where you are located but in the United States i can find the jonsbo n4 for cheaper than the n1 and have been recommending that case whenever someone is trying to make a system with 6 or fewer HDDs. N4 looks like it has better airflow too.

i don't disagree

I've also never heard of burning in HDDs If i had to guess it probably stems from if its defective, itll fail during the burn in period but i could be wrong.

Good luck, looking forward to hearing back from you. I think some users reported performance issues with usb drives but maybe with a fast enough drive it wouldn't feel too bad. If i didn't find solid used options near me i probably would have gone for ssd you found on amazon.

Some users on main truenas have reported using a usb flash drive, might be worth checking out. Alternatively you can probably do something similar to what i did. I went on craigslist and got cheap used nvme drives for $10 each while it's not safest thing, i am confident that my 250 gb samsung 960 evo (that only have 700gb written) will last me a long time I am currently on a test system but when i fully migrate i will be mirroring it with another drive.
