Right now there is no concrete eta however you can checkout the hexos blog for an up to date roadmap on what to expect going forward As for what i'm using my server for It is 90% jellyfin server 5% storage for the family bc apple is allergic to giving fair upgrade costs. 5% tinkering

At this time not officially. We will be adding an official migrating feature in the future. As of right now there are only work around that are ymmv. Such as installing hexos without any storage drives behind plugging in to get though the installation and claiming process. Then turning off the system, plugging in the drives and reclaiming your pools in the underlying truenas ui.

sorry you had a bad experience. your storage is probably fine. once you install truenas you should be able to import/migrate your pools. just a heads up the middleware issue exists on truenas as well.

since the n100 does have quick sync you are probably right about that.

Yeah i think @PsychoWardsis likely spot on

i think this is a question for wan show merch message lol.

don't hesitate to ask lots of questions either i've made mistakes i would never have expected like getting an unsupported realtek nic lmao

It seems like the 10gb nics in general are more reliable from what i hear. 10gb gear has been dropping in price pretty fast, you can get noname brand switches with 10gb for well under $100. That said i dunno if im willing to trust that kinda of gear but there are youtubers that are happy with those switches

you can try this one https://a.co/d/3wca1Ek Seems like many people recommend skipping 2.5gb and going straight to 10gb

I would say be careful regardless because In Germany the used drives were bought from a legitimate retailer. As for the nic did you want internal pcie or external usb?

i dunno of anyone that has but hexos most likely will install just fine onto either or. That said we do not recommend using external storage such as the sabrent 4 bay you mentioned. Many of these external multi bay docks also can have issues with truenas/hexos where the operating system will only properly detect 1 drive.

I'd say just look for one preflashed to it mode I vaguely recall reading somewhere that the newer lsi cards didn't use it mode anymore but i didn't look into it

i haven't been following plex in a while but they kinda developed a reputation for not actually fixing their product. I wonder if things have improved since i last checked.

ah pain. even though i don't use plex myself the increase in price will just make convincing friends to get a plex nas all the more difficult. Jellyfin works perfectly for me but to my friends that want to use their playstation as a client, its not a great option sadly

Massive props its always impressive to see someone maintain the dorito for so long.

an ssd pool will likely help and hexos should automatically use the faster ssd pool for apps. When purchasing a network card just make sure you avoid realtek nics as they may cause problems and/or not work at all with hexos. keep in mind other manufacturers like ugreen sell nics but may hide that they are realtek powered. When purchasing HDDs be aware of bad actors selling used drives being sold as new. This is apparently become common with seagate drives and even prompted seagate to release a tool that helps you determine if the drive is new or not. It is possible that similar scams happen with other brands but i am not aware of them at this time.

you can defintely get away with using less ram but unless you already have something you have in mind for the ram, i would just keep em in your system.

Looks like notifiarr has a docker app so it should be usable in hexos. as for trash guides, I'm not sure what you mean by integrating with that. Do you mean the apps part of the arr stack like sonarr and radarr? If so then yes they work on hexos and we have installation guides for them already, with plans of further simplifying the process in the future.

only hexos gets installed to the boot drive. Apps get installed to a separate pool. I agree with @Sonic, the effort required to sell ddr3 is not worth the profit and Hexos loves ram. One thing to keep in mind is if you buy HDDs for a storage pool just make sure the are CMR drives and not SMR drives.

very nice is it still dorito powered?

Yes hexos will have similar limitations. You cannot expand with smaller drives but you can expand with same size or larger drives. If you expand with a larger drives it'll be treated as the same size as the smallest drive.

New roadmap dropped not to long ago and a template to let the community make apps Hexos one click compatible was part of it. I imagine one it is out we don't have to worry about what we get first

This topic is now locked. Please go to the other thread to chime in

best way to tell is just look at both the content yourself. That said I imagine it would be fine. its hard to give you a max number of connections since i dunno how many streams your device can transcode at the same time. It is very possible that will be your bottleneck instead of your upload speed.

You might see limitations if you try to install apps. Synology has a mature operating system built in already so i would suggest trying it before you try hexos if you have a Synology nas Edit: Thanks @Sonic & @PsychoWards for clarifying that synology doesn't support other os installations
