Welcome Capox! HexOS license are easily transferred, so you need not worry! Many of us do have multiple licenses however, as we have multiple machines we are running at once. A local backup server, and a physically remote one for off site backups, for example.

I am very interested in this!

Sliger has a few 2u chassis that may work... they don't offer one with a built in drive cage, but a few have front 3.5" bays that you could put something like an IcyDock cage into. https://www.sliger.com/products/rackmount/2u/

Very soon... 👀🤫

I'm not sure quite what you are asking. RAID 5/6 are not used by HexOS or TrueNAS, instead they use ZFS pools. RAIDz1 is currently the only option through HexOS, though RAIDz2/3 can be configured manually through the TrueNAS interface

+1 for curating Home Assistant!

If the app's devs are interested and willing to supporting the curation that would be ideal, but I believe the plan is that both options will be possible. HexOS community members doing manual setups of apps will be able to give useful information about features and settings that the curation should include, as you say. And yes, power users are gonna power use, but the good news is that even using when installing a curated app you can still go change things away from the defaults set in the initial install, so there's really no downside!

Hi Duncan! I believe that community involved/led app curation is planned, but it is not available yet, as we are still kind of early in the development cycle.

@TwoStroke How are you liking the Sliger NAS case? Do you like the hard drive mounting system? I have one of their 4u units for my main PC and I love it.

Currently I believe you can ignore all notifications like that. I seem to recall that the system is sending erroneous notifications

"Annoncements" LOL

Given the how wildly successful the $99 promotional price was, I think a case could be made that another promo like that would make sense if It brought in similar numbers. Not the same necessarily, but enough to where the math made sense. EG, 4X as many licenses sold in given period would still be double net the income, even at 50% less revenue per license.

Synology was the first topic on WAN last night:

A more likely candidate would be IX systems, makers of TrueNAS. They already have hardware they sell with TrueNAS, so building something for HexOS might be as simple as changing the software image that is installed, possibly with some branding/aesthetic updates from TrueNAS to HexOS. Most of IX's offerings are 19" rack-mount chassis, but they do also have a couple smaller units: https://www.truenas.com/truenas-mini/

Good call, yes, I am using SwitftKey
