Why we NEED local config acces, eventually.

[Duhmez]

I saw in the FAQ where you said the reasons why local config is not needed, with ideas of internet outages etc not being  aproblem. But this misses the point. For one, this was promised as a SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE tha it would come eventualy, no rush no problem, on Linus Tech Tips.  One of the reasons why I bought it so fast.

But more importantly, if your company ever goes bankrupt, that is why we need access. Of if you have DDOS attack or any number of reasons your servers are not accessible, but mostly, if you close down shop. Truenas is free, we bought your software so we the noobs and power users can use it.

Understand where I am coming from, I don't intent to EVER use the local config interface when you make one. But it needs to be there for this reason. And by all means, NO RUSH! For sure get all the awesome important features implemented, I can wait. But I implore you to put a "yes for sure in the future: Checkmark on this.

I was kind of stunned after the Linus Tech video saying it is coming for sure later, then in the FAQ hearing you saig IF, and it's not needed....

I agree, i guess in a way that the TrueNAS Interface is the "local config" however, we bought it to be able to use the HexOS UI/Features.

I am happy to wait, but it is something I would like to see sometime in the future.

Local Hex UI is coming and was confirmed. it will arrive with the launch of V1 in the coming months.

Local UI/UX

One area in which we have received a lot of feedback has been in regards to a local UI/UX. While we still believe this is the right solution for initial server setup/configuration and for most remote access needs, we have decided to make a Local UI/UX and we are committed to delivering this with our 1.0 release. This means that even during Command Deck maintenance windows, you will still have access to the HexOS UI for system management.

Fantastic! I hope to never need it, but I want it there for sure!
