@TheCamba Here you are! https://www.gingerling.co.uk/hexos-its-immich-time/

Thanks so much for this @Todd Miller - It's helpful and interesting, especially the word Experience of Technical. I would like to write a post specifically about what I do and don't know about HexOS and how that has affected me so far. The difficulty I have is in describing what I don't know, I am not yet at a stage where I have figured that out for HexOS. I found it easier to write what I do and don't know about building a PC, for that first post, as I've been watching LTT for years so I have herad a lot of words I don't understand. For HexOS I felt like I knew almost nothing. I will have a bash at a first draft and maybe we can work on it here? Try and add in some terminology and fill in some total blanks!

Hi @TheCambaplaying with Immich atm and working on my next post. I'm getting pretty frustrated with it but having fun. I love next cloud! Didn't know I could run that here, how exciting!

It's a tricky line, I try to be clear what my knowledge is around each topic. I know nothing about networking almost nothing about servers, and am deeply uncomfortable with managing important security, anything comand line or code etc. that said I've worked doing QA on software for years and am an IT consultant by trade. I would never ever want to set up TrueNAS for example. I'm interested that you see these things im as technical, however, which bits? Thanks for reading 💜💜

Hi all, here is the next chapter! https://www.gingerling.co.uk/playing-with-hexos-part-3-installing-an-app-automated-backup-and-peeking-at-truenas/ @TheCamba Thanks for the comment. As you'll see, I predictably did the not sensible thing and installed a totally different app. Next post I think I'll look at Plex. I'm having a LOT of fun!

https://www.gingerling.co.uk/playing-with-hexos-part-2-unable-to-access-location/ A fun but detailed dive into how this is going for a less technical user

Thanks Dylan, really appreciate the feedback 🙂

Hi here is the next instalment https://www.gingerling.co.uk/playing-with-hexos-part-1-losing-my-mind-and-my-pool/

Hey thanks all I really appreciate the feedback 😆

Hi I added a new one: https://www.gingerling.co.uk/playing-with-hexos-part-1-losing-my-mind-and-my-pool/

Thanks will do, I'm slowly asking things here. I find it interesting to document the edges of my knowledge and my assumptions when it comes to tech and to try and understand what average users may or may not understand. It's a really fun project to play with, am a bit distracted by a freelance pitch atm but will be back at it next week

Hi I think I am probably an ideal HexOS customer and so I have decided to document my user experience as I go, I think it's fun and also really useful. How I chose hardware: https://www.gingerling.co.uk/how-i-chose-hardware-for-my-hexos-nas/ Building my NAS: https://www.gingerling.co.uk/building-my-hexos-nas/ Installing HexOS: https://www.gingerling.co.uk/installing-hexos/ I'm working on the next post already and it's got lots about this forum - best behaviour then folks 😄
