as far as i can tell all the "native" hexos apps are just streamlined docker installations. It'll defintely be a lot easier to use te hexos 1 click installs when the apps are supported (currently only immich and plex are 1 click supported with more to come) if an app isnt supported you can only request for it and wait it gets 1 click supported or you install it like you have previously theoretically there should be no difference regardless of whichever method you choose

also worth considering what you want from your cache drive. Read caches are a thing but write cache ssds are not really a thing. The ram is mostly used as the write cache. For more information look up l2arc vs slog

turn off your machine go to the deck hit the disconnect server button turn on new server adopt new server in the deck

for the boot drive you can get away with anything over 16gb but might be safer to go with 32gb+ i've been recommending jonsbo cases with the n4 being a pretty great value while looking pretty good too. if you care about things like subtitles i would suggest getting a used i5 8500t on ebay with a used motherboard.

i'm hopeful that it will just know that it is installed

i think during the beta you can move your license as many times as you want but i think the team mentioned they plan on limiting it in the future to every X amount of decomissions in Z months

just curious what else can it do that gdrive cant?

found my extender. I tried it. i placed the extender about 5 feet from the router i was able to access my smb share on my mac that is connected to my main network via wifi with no issues. a 1.45gb file took about 2 minutes 45 seconds to upload it took about 2:12 to retrieve that file when directly wired to my router it took around 1:10 to upload the file and then 18 seconds to retrieve that file

I would happily accept being wrong about this. I didn't even think about theoretical transfer tools.

i think it actually depends if you wanna just decommission a sever and then turn on a new server, 1 license is enough. but if you want to move the data from one server to another before decommissioning it then you might need need a second license

Yeah i defintely look at things through my own lens a lot. I love watching anime with subtitles so its important to me to bring up where things might go wrong with it but i do try to also be objective

i'm just going off of posts i read on reddit. N100 will work on jellyfin plex without subtitles here is one of the threads ive seen

i don't have a kill a watt for me to test. if there is a way to test in software i'd be more than happy to check edit: found a kill a watt for a reasonable price online, i will use it if i can get it. That said still curious about any software method

n100 will struggle with plex/jellyfin if things like subtitles are at all important. but im sure itd be more than adequate for say next cloud or immich usb drives are not recommended for truenas/hexos in general 9500t will likely serve you quite well for a long time using an hba + a 3d printed enclosure sounds like a solid idea as of now hexos requires all drives (exccept the boot drive) to be in a pool of at least 2 drives

if i can find my extender i guess i can try it. Its an older model so i imagine newer ones with wifi 6e or 7 would work slightly better but im sure itll be more than enough to tell if network shares work

some sections of the form let you edit your posts and others don't. I think it was also mentioned the edit timeout is also quite short. i think hexos is close to having a good enough forum if they move search to a more obvious place allow editing in all areas without timeout add the upvote/downvote to all sections add some more of the text modifiers to the mobile version of the site

the main work around is to get something like a tp link wifi extender with an ethernet port but they hurt power efficiency compared to built in wifi and they are also more flakey from my experience

thanks truenas/hexos does not support wifi so i have to use lan. For a casual user like myself i would be plenty happy if wifi worked and i could stick the server in a corner that is out of they way. hopefully its a feature thatll be implemented in a few years.

$4/kw makes sense electricity costs are insane i don't remember the exact but I'm pretty sure my cost is somewhere between 0.38¢ - 0.48¢/w So power efficiency is hella sexy Things i kept in mind are 1) no rgb 2) no dgpu 3) external das will likely use more power than internal drives and possibly have other issues 4) Wolfgang has a spreadsheet with psu efficiency and 20/40/60/80w so you can make sure you have a decently efficient psu at idle 5) try not to go overboard with case fans, just because there is space for it doesn't mean it's needed.

If hexos sees it as one drive it won't work currently. As of now hexos needs to be the one making the pool of at least 2 drives. External drives are also not recommend in general

I agree with cake

There is a list of apps incoming to hexos and sonarr is one of them the other one isn't familiar to me but worst case you can install it via truenas

i agree

I agree with the others only time it's worth upgrading is when your system no longer meets your needs. If it runs fine yeah keep on keeping on with it. I built a beefy machine because i could not because it made the most sense
