Mobius

New tutorial about time machine setup here

I completely agree, i want my apps to be on a single ssd with a large hdd pool for my data i don't wanna lose

you are very welcome, glad to help anyway i can

i like the gigabyte board better because of the usb 3.2 gen 2 port, the extra full size pcie slot and the 2 extra ram slots since more ram is always appreciated in a server. That said it uses a realtek nic which more than likely will not work without some tinkering for the foreseeable future. I have a mobo with what i suspect is the same realtek nic (wasn't able to find the model number of the aorus board nic), I cannot use it at all and resorted to using a usb adapter i had on hand instead. If you can splurge on your 10gb ethernet sooner than later def go for the gigabyte

It would also be nice if we could up/down vote all posts and not just q&a

Can this be done with any vpn? I already pay for proton vpn so it would be great if i could just use that

you are welcome. I just want to clarify that many brands can be powered by realtek and you sometimes need to look deeper into the product listing. Another user had issues with a 2.5gb ugreen usb to ethernet dongle because it was powered by realtek

you could probably use something like this with a usb to molex adapter and pcie/m.2 to sata adapter I have no idea if this is the best product of the sort but it would like work much better than a usb enclosure

there are m.2 to sata adapters if you have free m.2 slots. Keep in mind you would still need free sata power ports as well

i know that i can do that, i just want to make a sub user than can only access one of the 2 servers

any chance you guys plan to implement a sub account? i bought 2 licenses planning to leave a 2nd server with family. It would be nice if when i login to deck i see both servers and if they ever wanna log in they can only see the one server. i feel like no one that cares about their data would even consider buying a sub account on the black market.

I would skip the gpu unless you have any workloads that need a gpu or if you think the igpu is adequate for handbrake. Gpu is gonna be adding a non negligible amount of power consumption. On a 24/7 idle 6700xt at my admittedly high electricity rates it would cost me north of $40 a year

i mean the bigger problem would likely being any future troubleshooting. We won't be able to tell if any bugs will be caused by it especially since hexos beta is pretty finicky with what it wants and going around that via truenas causes mild to severe bugs

Yeah seems like for anyone with multi drive usb enclosures only one drive gets shown. That said in general usb drives are not recommended

just make sure it is not realtek since they have a bad reputation with support for certain realtek nics being straight up disabled in truenas for causing issues

You can try making a z2 pool in truenas ui but it is possible things like one click apps will break if you do like it does for mixed size pools

you are welcome. if you want so save some money you can even go with like a used 8500t and compatible mobo from ebay which would be ~$100

seems like it is powered by a realtek rtl8156. There is a driver issue with that realtek ethernet adapter and iscusi so the truenas team optted to disable support for it. You can turn it back on via tunables (i have no idea how), someone else mentioned that installing the new updated drivers via command line might fix it too (but i also dunno how to do that)

yeah your 12600 is more than good enough for plex/jellyfin along with the rest of the thigns you mentioned and you don't need a Dgpu for those tasks as the Igpu in the 12600 is plenty adequate

had no idea it had addons let alone so many of them

this alone will make the hexos worth it over truenas for me, with all the other QoL stuff being the cherry on top.

defintely their own section in the forum. However a shoutout with an article would not be something i'm opposed to. One of the sites i used to frequent gave out a giftcard every month to someone that made a new quality tutorial they liked. I'm not saying monetary rewards are required but i think even a monthly achievement being given out to someone would greatly incentivize making tutorials

Limited access sub users would be nice feature to add down the road. I been spending too much time on these forums and i think this is the first time i've seen it brought up. I don't think the team has made any comments on it

Those are defintely things many of us have expressed wanting. I'm hopeful the Hexos team knows and are working on it for us.

I think you can do this with nextcloud but you would need to do some extra effort to make it work. check out this reddit post with some more information
