Tailscale works super great in unRAID, it just works simply login your account and voila, all shared folder on that server appears I even can access by typing \\servername

i just testing Tailscale, i'm just blown away how easy it is. just login my tailscale account on server, and install tailscale on my PC and laptop. just like that, and i'm already able to access my shared folder via SMB, even using //servername awesome

I don't think you can migrate fron unRAID to TrueNAS (hence HexOS too) because they using different file system for storage. And technically, you can install to USB drive, but highly not recommended. USB drive tends to fail more frequently.

Your license is tied to your account. You can move your license to another PC by disconnecting your previous PC. (In case you want entirely new build of server) But for upgrade path, please keep all your boot drive and pool drives. You can change the CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, except drives. As right now, HexOS doesn't recognize existing pool and configs, but hopefully in v1.0, you will be able to import existing pool so you can change your boot drive. If you want to increase your storage, you can expand by adding dditional drive to your pool. Or if you want upgrade/replacing drives, you can pull out the ONE drive and put in the new drive and let the OS rebuild your data, wait until it finished and then do it again to another drive (one by one). There will be a documentation that will explain everything and step-by-step to do it.

it is coming. you don't have to worry. They're promising, at least it will some within v1.0.

great job. Welcome to the club of NAS owner and Custom Built PC (although with Dell's shenanigan pre-built PC) but nonetheless great start point.

that is the purpose of beta, finding bugs, errors, misbehavior, etc. if you want to truly using HexOS as a daily drive or into production, wait at least until version 1.0

Happy testing!!!

unfortunately no, it would violating the HexOS terms. https://hexos.com/terms

Your license is active, but, to get your beta invitation, you have to wait, or comment on this topic to get earlier.

Up until this point, i not really sure what's the point of the license key, because its automatically adopt the server via user account. And there's no settings page about Registration or Activation. Everything goes automatically via Command Deck web UI. But, giving your license to someone else is violating HexOS's term. https://hexos.com/terms

adding to that, there will be an option (manual configuration) to just configure your HDDs as is. No RAID whatsoever. Probably in version 1.0. But stick to recommendation configuration for the best.

as far as i know, the update will be through web UI, and will not require to wipe out your entire pool configs

If you move your old disks entirely and just change the hardware (CPU, motherboard, etc). Don't click the Disconnect button, the OS will regconize the old disks and boot up like usual. The way disconnect button for so if you bought another server, complete with brand new disks, and want to retired your old server. You could disconnect the server from HexOS, therefor your license is free again and be able to setup and claim the brand new server. But the Disconnect button doesn't mean the old server just suddenly stops working or being deleted, the server still work, all config and files still there, untouched. Heck, you can still using it if you like so. It just no longer being managed by HexOS, just open TrueNAS UI by typing the server's IP address in the web browser.

unfortunately, yes. each install require license. unless you disconnect the previous server, then you can use that license again.
