I am not aware of any special pricing but feel free to reach out to support@hexos.com and welcome!

This might be slightly off topic but I found it to be an interesting product and hope it's helpful.

Hi @migcooper I would follow THESE instructions when replacing your disk.

Take a look HERE.

Probably. What does TrueNAS UI show?

I wouldn't know having only used Plex for about 3 months now. So far, for what it does as measured against my needs, it does it decent-to-well. I wish the interface was more responsive.

I don't disagree with you. But I do understand the need for a (relatively) small org like Plex to raise prices especially if that promotes better or consistent feature enhancement. With that said, what will turn me to the Dark Side is when price goes up with feature reduction (looking you Amazon, you piece of garbage). I want businesses who make decent products to be able to continue to do so. I also want to extract value from the price I've paid. What I do NOT want is to see orgs like Plex to be swallowed up in some corporate M&A that puts you back in trash heap like Amazon. What I think I'm trying to say is, I'd rather gamble and pay a Plex and hope they do the right thing than give the devil my money. There is, of course, the total DIY route, which I've done before (and am willing to do again) but would rather throw some loot towards Plex/HexOS which makes me fee like my money is better spent. At least that's the idea. Fcuk inflation BTW.

Cool break-down of the recent changes Plex plans on implementing next month. Kinda glad I got the lifetime for $99 a few months ago but, as dude said, this doesn't affect me.....yet.

I know exactly what you mean. The joy of discovery is immeasurable.

Smart. I would also check heat and material temperature thresholds when using non-standard components. Looks like a lot of fun @ulfn! Looking forward to see and hearing about it when you've got it all up and running.

I think you're either going to have a blast doing whatever you want or turn into an evil genius rat who tries to take over the world.

Nice blog! You do a good job of providing personal contextualization and remain mindful to link when referring to previous posts (so annoying when you have to go hunt for that). Thanks for sharing!

No, but I should be very clear. My use-case is very limited and intentionally that way. I hope to grow my configuration and what it does as HexOS expands its capabilities. Does that make sense? So, yes I run Plex, Immich, TailScale and Radarr with no issue (mostly - check my posts for where I've hit issues but they are almost entirely config based not HW or otherwise). I'm sure you've heard/seen this before but Hexos is still very much in beta and with limited official support for apps. With that said, we DO strive to document our growth HERE and often use the TrueNAS UI to deploy apps that are not yet fully supported - do so at your own risk tolerance. We're not quite 4 months out from release so there is still a road ahead but we have MANY talented contributors to this forum and I've enjoyed engaging with all of them!

@freid I'm one of these people. I have the N100 version now and am very pleased with it. I also have the AMD version on order that I should be getting in the next few weeks where it will be used to backup the N100 device (my main media server). Happy to answer any questions if you have them!

For real for real. I can get things done in TN but I don't really want to.

NFS is not likely any time soon and totally agree that slow SMB transfers can largely be mitigated with proper network management and file size awareness.

Well said! This is certainly a "deeper" look into ZFS file and backup management - just something I am looking at how to deploy when my new NAS arrives, which will be running HexOS.

That is the expected behavior, yes. But please be advised that because this is still in beta things can be wonky. Backup your data, first.

I agree entirely as well. If @Sonic ever feels so inclined a post about backups and associated scripts would be greatly appreciated and likely should be saved in out Directory of Guides.

I was reading THIS arsTECHNICA article on ZFS (as one usually does) and was so impressed that I started looking at other stuff the author has worked on. Turns out THIS guy created a ZFS snapshot application that looks really promising. I've not done anything other than look through the repo but I like what I see so far and wanted to share. Tagging @Sonic @Theo and @PsychoWards because of the thread comments in THIS post. While not totally on topic to that thread, it made me remember that I should share this content.

https://aoostar.com/blogs/news/the-aoostar-wtr-max11bay-is-about-to-meet-you-all This looks like it could be really fun. It's more than what I need but I bet this things sells really well. BTW - who uses SFP at home?

WOOT!! Progress, progress, progress!!!

Fantastic content - really!

Dude, you just noodled through an installation via TrueNAS, which is non-trivial, and ended up with a working configuration - congrats! Thank you for your thorough follow up. I am going to add your post as a place holder in our Directory of Guides until or unless a more complete installation write up is submitted - which I totally hope you contribute towards! Thanks again!!

@kickhiminthenards Okay, I'm kinda shooting from the hip here, so please bear with me. It sounds like a mapping & permissions issue. My fellow mod @Theo posted a really great tutorial on how to install RADARR which I just followed this past weekend. In it, he shows how certain directories need to be created and "mapped" for the app - in this case radarr - along with setting certain permissions. Because Handbrake will be similarly run as a container I suspect there are parallels here. THIS video shows how to install Handbrake in docker (container) and maybe there are some clues as to how to properly configure Handbrake installation via TrueNAS. I hope this is even a little helpful and if I'm off-base here, my apologies - totally not trying to send you down the wrong path, only help figure out how to pull this off. If you DO make some progress, please keep this thread updated as I'm certain others would LOVE your feedback. Best of luck!!
