This does seem rather old, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work. It could just be that there has been no need to update it

Looks like there has been progress, actually a bit today.  And looks like they started a rewrite of it completely.  So maybe this next year they will have something.

Yeah this would be a great qol feature!

I can't find it anywhere in searching the forums. But from what I see a dedicated GPU will work with plex ect if done through truenas.

Currently, if I have an arc A380 installed am I correct in the fact that it doesn't show up under hardware? I don't see it.

Hopefully they will have support soon enough.

Seems as if the older Intel Arc GPUs are supported.

I would give it some time and a newer kernel will comes to TrueNAS, then it will require HexOS to also update their system to be tested and released with that updated TrueNAS Scale Version, it will be a bit most likely, for the newer ones.

But your A380 should be supported per these post.

Hello, I wanted to know if it's possible to connect multiple HDDs via USB because when I tested it, it didn't showed all of my drives that i had plugged in. 

As the other person said it is not recommended to use usb drives.

usb is not designed to be used this way.

on your board your manual will say what usb ports go to what usb chip on your board.  And usually they are 2-4 ports per chip.  This can cause a lot of stability issues, it will cause drive IO delays.  And don’t get me started on drive lettering for pools.

best bet.  Get an HBA card and shuck your external drives.

My Friend is tech savy enough to have a domain and website but has nothing to do with servers. I recommended HexOS to him and his first impressions are good, but as he has a domain he always wanted to use it for emails too.

Having an App thats a 1 click mailserver would be amazing, considering how annoying they are to set up otherwise. Would also pair great with the already existing roundcube webmail thing.

Containing an email server is not fun.  I have done it self host, vps, and the amount of bullcrap you have to deal with when it comes to spam filters, your domain being blocked because a company notices your home op was used for malware before years ago. Etc.

i like the idea but I would ask for this when they have matured the software more.

To access the apps you can click the app you installed and on the pop up should be a launch button.  If that does not work you can manually type into your browser the up is HexOS with the port number of the apps.

and for updating do not update truenas yet, HexOS has stated in some forum post that they are working on updating things.  You can update but you should wait for them to validate things first.

and for apps something.

but apps I am less worried about so I log into truenas and update the apps there

I would not recomend doing that.
You can, but you should NOT.

Here is a thread form the truenas scale forum: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/mixing-2-ssd-and-2-hdd-in-same-pool.115280/

HexOS is build on top of TrueNAS Scale so if you find something over there it should apply to the underlying truenas but may not to the hexos part.

But mixing drives will cause you a lot of issues unless you know how to move metada to a cahced pool or the like.

Set up an HDD pool and a SSD pool, it will make like more convient for you.

Looks like an awesome project! Keep it up!

Something like caddy-docker-proxy, traefik or nginx-proxy-manager would probably make it a lot easier.

What would the benefit of adding obs bring?

Currently, you can run obs on your system and store the clips on HexOS without HexOS supporting the OBS application.
You can also edit from a NAS already.
Map the folder you want to use for OBS and set it in OBS. Same with edditing.

I'm new to servers and hosting self storage and so on, so far I have enjoyed the easy UI of HexOS Beta, great work so far. As a new guy who doesn't fully understand all the terminology and how the raid stuff works I think it would be neat to have a calculator on the dashboard that you could tell HexOS "I want 8Tb of usable storage, what drive size/counts would it take" and it be like "You need 4x 4Tb for this config or 2x 8Tb for for this config".

 

IDK just thinking out loud as I try learning how this stuff works.

https://wintelguy.com/zfs-calc.pl
Here is a calculator for ya.
It might make sense but with how many different configs you can make it would be a bigger task then you would expect, and personally I would rather see them put time into new applications.

Your boot drive should not be part of your zfs pool ever, and HexOS does not set up your zfs pool that way.
When your boot drives do fail, and they eventually will.  You can install HexOS on it and log into truenas and import the pool that way, currently with HexOS not having an import function this is the way arround that.
If you boot drive dies you did not lose your data in your pull.  It is just zfs so as long as the host can recognize your pull you should be okay to import it.

Currently, I'm running Unraid and have Gitlab running as their "omnibus" single container. I've been thinking of switching to Truenas due to various issues with Unraid stability, but as you can imagine that would be a huge pain.

I've also been wanting to set up Immich, but it requires being run as a bunch of individual containers and I don't want to have to spend an entire weekend debugging that, so the one click install of it that HexOS offers is really compelling!

If I were to switch, I could just drop down to Truenas and run Gitlab as a container again, but it seems like it'd also be relatively easy to add it as an app if everything is already in place to run something with a more complicated setup like Immich.

Bonus points for Forgejo. Gitlab can be a bit slow and has tons of features that just distract from the few that I actually use, so if Forgejo was a 1-click install option, I might just migrate everything.

Gitlab would be really nice, but it is such a big app I would not be suprides if it is a while before an app taht complex is implemented in the one click.

I am unsure if HexOS supports DLAN it self, in the current state I would say no (Dec 2024), but Plex if avilable to install currently native to HexOS.
If that does not work HexOS is TrueNAS Scale and you can just log into TrueNAS and set up DLAN application how you want to.

Currently only the devs know this as the buddy backup is not yet released, heck idk if they even stated on it yet.

Here is my guess, I am not a member of the HexOS team nore am I a mod for the hub, but from what I have learned from the hub here it goes.

HexOS is based on TrueNAS, but HexOS can update cloud side with out TrueNAS updating on your system. Not for everything though.

TrueNAS should not be out of date that far if at all being that HexOS does require an internet connection into the computer, so unless they backport security updates my guess is that it will be more of a rolling release.
If for some reason they need to rewrite something major and you need a reinstall for v1.0 you can install HexOS and log into TrueNAS to import your drives that way, as of now, so it SHOULD not be a big issue if at all.

Again, this is my guess based on what I have gathered.

Found the webgsm page, but it’s been a while for updates.https://github.com/LoadingStill/WebGSM

Yeah. That is true

For the most part, unless there's an actual problem, there isn't really a need to access the the terminal. Other than like manually updating and verifying files, which I'm pretty sure the containers do on startup

And any "advanced" configuration is done in the LGSM config file

game management will require terminal access, not difficult but challenging to make it easy.

maybe something like a gui htlm set up.

i found what looks to be an idea of that a while ago called WebGSM, I don’t think it’s under the official linuxGSM pages. And I forgot where I found it but it looked to be the right idea for this, I don’t know if they ever got it out of alpha or beta, let me see if I can find it.

Found the docker link I was looking for

I'm not quite sure if it would be better to have each server as its own individual app or one universal app where you can choose the server during setup...

The former would make one-click installs easier, but the latter would probably be easier to implement

For ease of implementation, linuxGSM has docker images for almost all the games they have documented.  Which is a lot.  So it would just take time to implement the first one then making it to working with the rest.

a lot of management commands are exactly the same expect specific game commands are different.

the issue is LinuxGSM is terminal based.  No user friendly gui.  But the commands are very easy to use and find documentation on.

2nd day of not being able to click like... 😶

Welp HexOS no longer likes you.  Jk

Would love this.

this would make game integrations a lot easier then custom one.

I know some post are floating arround asking about updating and I know the answer is wait for HexOS to notify the user.
But for apps like Immich and Plex, the phone apps will keep updting over time and the server won't as of now.  If there a plan to add these functions in soon for apps as to not cause issues long term?
Immich being a beta software still and the server and client mismatch versions, idk if that is an issue but I thought I would ask.

I had issues with and SSD pool as well, what I had to do was log into the treunas side and go to drives, then wipe the ssds in the gui, then create the pool in truenas, it then showed in HexOS.

I think this was due to not being wiped with a lvm locked partition on them prior.  BUT I did discover 3 of my 7 SSDs had really bad smart reading and just failed during all this. So take what I said as a may work but my set up had issues.
