🎄 Feliz NaviNAS, Friends! 🎄 As we enjoy the holiday season, surrounded by twinkling lights and the gentle hum of our NAS drives, let’s raise a toast (and maybe a firmware update) to the tech that keeps our lives organized and our data safe. 🖥️💾 Whether you’re upgrading your setup, streaming holiday movies, or just marveling at your uptime stats (guilty as charged!), this is the season to appreciate the little things—like a perfectly functioning RAID array. Wishing you all smooth backups, stable connections, and plenty of storage space for the new year! 🎁 Happy Holidays to everyone in the Coffee Talk corner!

Hello Friends! I’m excited to share an alternative method for testing HexOS using QEMU via Docker. This approach not only simplifies the setup but also gives you flexibility to create a virtual environment tailored to your needs. To get you started, I’ve included: 1. My docker-compose.yaml file as a reference. 2. A mini script for creating a virtual network using a macvlan. Using a macvlan provides an added layer of security by isolating your virtual machines on a dedicated network segment, simulating a real-world environment. If you prefer, you can also assign specific MAC addresses and IPv4 addresses to your containers for finer control. However, if you’d like to keep things simpler, you can use Docker normally without setting up a macvlan. Just remember to remove the macvlan network configuration from the setup. I highly recommend using a macvlan for enhanced security and network segmentation, but the choice is yours! A huge thank you to the amazing HexOS community for making this project what it is. I hope this helps you explore HexOS more effectively. Let me know if you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions! services: qemu: container_name: HexOS image: qemux/qemu-docker privileged: true deploy: resources: limits: cpus: '4' memory: 8GB reservations: cpus: '2' memory: 4GB mac_address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx networks: vlan: ipv4_address: 192.168.xx.xx environment: DISK_SIZE: "20G" DISK_FMT: "qcow2" RAM_SIZE: "8G" CPU_CORES: "4" DISK2_SIZE: "32G" DISK3_SIZE: "32G" volumes: - /media/ssd/iso/ISO-OS/TrueNAS-SCALE-24.10.0-HexOS.iso:/boot.iso - /media/ssd/iso/OS/HexOS:/storage - /media/ssd/iso/OS/HexOS/disk1:/storage2 - /media/ssd/iso/OS/HexOS/disk2:/storage3 devices: - /dev/kvm # - /dev/bus/usb cap_add: - NET_ADMIN ports: - 8006:8006 stop_grace_period: 2m restart: unless-stopped networks: vlan: external: true For this method, all credit goes to the amazing repository qemus/qemu-docker, where you can find more detailed information and resources.

Hi everyone! I wanted to create this thread as a friendly space where we can all introduce ourselves and get to know each other better. Whether you’re new to the community or you’ve been here for a while, feel free to stop by and tell us a little about yourself—your hobbies, interests, or anything you’d like to share. I’ll go first to kick things off: Hi, I’m Stefano 🙂 I’m a tech enthusiast and a bit of a nerd. I absolutely love exploring new technologies and working with Linux, especially when it comes to configuring servers. Experimenting with different setups and solving technical challenges are some of the things I enjoy the most. Outside of tech, music plays a huge role in my life. I’m a big fan of jazz and R&B for their smooth and soulful vibes, and I also love metal for its raw energy and power. My taste is pretty eclectic, and I enjoy discovering new artists and sounds. I’m always curious and eager to learn, whether it’s about technology, music, or something completely new. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you and hearing your stories—so don’t be shy! Jump in and introduce yourself. Now it’s your turn! Feel free to share as much or as little as you’d like. We’re all here to connect and learn from each other. Welcome aboard!
