Incognito fixed that login loop. I was able to get in and upgrade from 24.10.0 through HexOS. However now when I attempt to add a new folder to my storage pool, I get an error saying "Failed to create folder 'name_of_folder'". Not sure why that is...

The deck.hexos.com page was saying 'down for maintenance'. Looks like it has returned to a normal login page. However when I try to login now, it just redirects me to the same login page. Any idea what's happening?

So I set up a NAS for my org to use. We deal with a lot of video data, so I purpose-built a system with a lot of fast NVMe storage. After some mishaps with bad NICs (turns out, Realtek is trash!) the system is up-and-running! I set up HexOS. That was super easy, after I dealt with the bad NIC - good job to the HexOS team! Then I started looking into the available apps... and I was totally not prepared for all the cool stuff you can set up on a NAS! My conception of a NAS coming in is it's a filesystem that can be mounted to computers on your network, and nothing else. Turns out, TrueNAS allows you to do a whole lot more than that! I did some research and settled on adding the NAS to my Tailscale network. I took it a step further and installed Dockge. I was able to spin up a deployment of Nextcloud using this guide, gave it a domain on my Tailnet + HTTPS cert. Now everyone in my org can get off the Google Drive & start using this on-prem solution. I love it. I noticed there is a whole lot more that can be done in Nextcloud other than a drop-in replacement for Google Drive. I may try to set up a CalDAV server next to solve a calendar sync issue I've been having. Beyond that, there are so many other apps listed in the HexOS page. I see a lot of stuff related to video/audio/eBook multimedia - Plex is a big one. That's got me thinking - what else can HexOS / TrueNAS do? Would love to hear what others think about this setup! And please, do share any cool ideas or setups of your own 🙂
