After many, many many hours of self learning (Google-fu) I came to that same conclusion. Truth be told, I figured hexOS for my tinkering and went straight to true NAS. I'll find a use for hex later. I tested with an SSD mounted to my pool in a few ways and it never changed much. My big bottle neck is network mostly, pinging off that 1 gig redline pretty much. As for my VM stuff, i got a Windows VM up after many hours, but found it I can install a makemkv docker instead of struggling to pass through a sata device to the VM. Overall, I rate my experience... Cry/10 Spent hours trouble shooting to get miniscule victories. The dopamine from problem solving wasn't "woohoo! I figured it out!" It was "f**king finally, I can stop googling this obscure garbage and not deal with it anymore" I'm still having fun, deep down, just exhausted from making the same VM settings 100 times lol

Hello all, I have been using HexOS since the beta started as a simple for storage server. Make a folder, put my "legal game dumps" into it and using the apps to run an Immich backup. However, unfortunately for my server (named "Wheatley"), I broke my arm 2 weeks ago and so now I'm bored as HELL... So now I'm taking it out on my toys. I want to watch movies, but I want to burn my Blu-rays to a Plex server to watch at any screen in my house. But I want to do it in a Windows VM. So I started trying to poke around in the TrueNAS UI and trying to teach myself how to spin up a VM and use it for my needs. But making a network bridge has been the "Jesus nut" that has caused everything to explode. After I restarted my server, it stopped being recognized on my network, and therefore the hexOS deck. After many restarts of the network and system, I eventually went and reset the network settings and that allowed me to access the server again... But now the HexOS dashboard is freaking out 😅 i will be poking at it more here soon, luckily I exported all my data so it's not gonna get lost by re-installs and whatnot. I will be posting more as well, as my learning continues and I find more funny problems, thank you for reading 🙂 Hardware: cpu; ryzen 5 5600g gpu; gtx 1050ti (for passthrough) Memory; 64 gig (gib?) gskill ddr4 3600 GAMER RAM storage; nvme boot drive, 2 WD blue 4TB hard drives. (might drop in an ssd to speed up transfers, dunno how that works tho.) Im a mild tech hoarder, to the chagrin of my wife, but it comes in handy when i can just cobble together machines from my scraps 😅

I have had my NAS up for a while now, and I want to run Hex OS under KVM. I am wondering if I can transfer my hex os from bare metal to virtual without losing my data? If not, it's not the biggest deal but it would be cool to not have to transfer all my stuff to a backup and then back I am very new to virtualization an KVM but the benefits i want from visualizing like that are juicy.

id love to see the ability to host a teamspeak server. theres probably a way already through truenas but i am lazy
