I don’t think this device is compatible. It has an unsupported cpu.

See this article. Perhaps it give you enough insight, so you can make a choice. https://b3n.org/truenas-vs-proxmox/

It really depends on what the goal of your server is. I have two licenses. I run HexOS bare metal, where the main purpose is data storage and backup. I also have a Proxmox server that runs a HexOS VM. I use Proxmox with PBS as my virtualization platform and HexOS/TrueNAS for storage. However, HexOS/TrueNAS can also be used as an app and virtualization platform. To some extent, Proxmox and TrueNAS share similar functions, but each has its own focus and strengths.

Looking forward to the Q3 release. Bring it on!

I have this same experience. The NAS functionality is pretty stable.

This would be a nice feature. A lot of people struggle with reverse proxy setup.

Nice!

Or low power 10 gbe. https://www.servethehome.com/new-intel-e610-nics-shown-for-low-power-10gbase-t-and-2-5gbe/ It will take some time until we will see the NIC chip in prosumer products. But it is promissing. Watching my low power 10 gbe network speeds while doing nothing 🤣

I think you are right, but it is still tempting to try a 10 gbe network 😉. But I don't do video editing or things like that. So probably after the first backup my 10 gbe network will do nothing most of the time. For me the upgrade from 1 gbe to 2,5 gbe feels like a major upgrade. And from an energy use perspective 2,5 gbe is more the sweetspot.

I am thinking about a small network upgrade. The backbone of my network is already 10 gbe (SPF+). But my main network is still 2,5 gbe. I have a Mikrotik router and 2 Mikrotik switches in a 10 inch rack. I like to add a 10 gbe copper switch. I have already a few devices with a 10 gbe NIC on board. 2,5 gbe is nice, but 10 gbe is the extended version of nice 🙂

I have the same hobby 🙂. But the good news is, a homelab is never finished. There always will be new hardware.

I can’t test this right now. I have to upgrade my switch to 10 gbe first.

I have the same issue. HexOs shows my 10 gbe NIC as 5 gbe.

Thank you for this guide. I was able to install HexOs in UTM on a M3.
