I really like this feature request! Using NFS in Truenas is way to complicated. I already had a lot of Truenas NFS permission denied errors in the past.

Hi HexOS team, Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to work with HexOS. Even though it’s still in beta, HexOS shows a lot of promise. Creating configurations is super simple. I’ve also adjusted quite a few things using the TrueNAS interface. Compared to that, creating an NFS share suddenly feels much more complex. I also have some ideas for potential HexOS features. What I’m wondering is: which user group or groups are the sweet spot for HexOS? Let’s take NFS shares as an example. For a user with a homelab, using an NFS share can be an interesting use case. The average homelab user is capable of configuring settings in more technical user interfaces. However, for example, my parents would never use NFS but do have a need for the simplest way to store and access their data. I’m very curious about your product vision for HexOS regarding the different usergroups. Thanks in advance for your response! Let me know if you'd like any adjustments!

Hi Dylan, Thank you for your suggestion. I am familiar with the command line and rsync. I use Truenas next to Synology DSM already for a long time. But in my opinion this is not an easy solution. Synology Hyper Drive and Synology Drive are easy to setup and easy to use. This should also be the strength of HexOS, ease of use and ease of setup. If I want to do more complicated stuff, I can always use Truenas and the commandline.

Next to Truenas and HexOS I still have a very solid Synology NAS in my network and I think I am not the only one. It would be very nice if there is an easy way to Backup HexOS data to Synology and the other way around
