Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion! Seems like something we could do!

I’m going to say probably! But I’m not sure how and when yet.

Hi there! As the lead designer on HexOS this is something I'm very interested in accomplishing! The current beta probably has several issues and we will be working to making this a great experience for all! If you or anybody else who needs assistive technology discovers any issues, feel free to send me a DM here on the forum!

Hi there! Firstly a disclaimer: I'm a designer and not a developer, so I'm not vell versed in the TrueNAS/Linux underpinnings, what Im about to say might not be possible! In the future we might be looking at options to reduce the system requirements for lets say a 2-bay NAS that only needs regular RAID, but its not in the plans right now.

Hi there! Yes, it is in the plans! You can technically switch to Spanish now, but only parts are translated.

Hi there! Its not currently in our plans, we will need to control both servers for easy connection and setup. But you are of course free to use other apps and set up something else yourself.

Hi there! HexOS is based on TrueNAS Scale and uses ZFS. I'm a designer not a developer but as far as I know, its not possible to utilize different sized disks (the smallest would dictate the size).,

Hi there! If there is a Docker app for this for TrueNAS already it will work on HexOS (curated or not).

Hi there! Are you asking about running VMs? In that case no, you will be able to install pretty much anything you want.

Hi there! I'm uncertain about what you're asking, but right now we support Docker containers and will soon support VMs. Anything you could do in TrueNAS Scale before you can of course still do in the TrueNAS UI.

Thanks for your report! This experience will be different once we implement local UI. Are your other issues resolved? We had quite the load over the weekend.

Right now you can use the built in tools for backup in Windows and Mac. And we are in discussions about more options like native apps, but those would come at a later stage.

Hi there, by default we get the IP automatically (DHCP) so it should just work. It might require a reboot to fetch a new IP from the router though.

Hi there! Its in discussions for sure, what would you like to see in an official app?

Hi there! Local UI is coming and it will require a online connection for initial setup, but after that you can run and manage your server offline. Any features that requires internet (like installing apps) will not be available until the server is online again.

Hi there! Management works just fine from a Mac, and we will let you create folders for Time machine backups.

Our Command Deck can be updated independently from the base OS, but we will follow the same TrueNAS stable releases with a small delay.

Hi there! If you just want your roommate to have access to specific folders you can easily set that up. You can add as many local users as you want.

Hi there! We have announced buddy backups for backing up data between two HexOS servers. Additional cloud backup services is something we want to look at as well.

Hi there! As long as the drives you are using are the same size you can start with a 3 drive pool and expand it later with additional drives. I cannot comment on the feasibility of your second question, sorry.

Hi there! You would not want or need to expose your server public to the internet, but yes, we want to make this a reality by leveraging buddy backups.

Hi there! We will be offering a subscription to HexOS, but we don't have any details to share right now.

Hi there! I hope you found some answers elsewere, but essentially: 1) You can move your license to another server 2) No, a lifetime license lasts a lifetime, use it whenever. 3) this depends on what apps you use and possibly new features from us in the future.

Hi there! Yes, you can manage your server from anywhere, but remote access to installed apps or files is not currently supported.

Hi there! Local UI will be coming, but not within 30 days.
