Will I be able to mount remote shares from within hexOS in the future?


Question

Posted (edited)

I would like to use HexOS as a sort of app-server (to manage my docker) and not as my primary storage. 

I already have multiple dedicated separate NAS boxes (Synology and Ubiquiti) that contain my family pictures, linux isos and other data I want my applications to use. Thus, I would like to mount various remote shares on hexOS so I can pass them along to Plex, Immich and other apps.

I know (and I did in the past) that I can use the linux shell, create .smbcredentials and edit fstab to mount it, but it would be amazing to have a UI for it in HexOS. Is that something that is will happen in the future? 

As an explanation for why I don't simply run docker compose on ubuntu - truenas (and hexOS by extension) makes configuring redundant storage much easier - I can simply install truenas/hexOS and have mirrored boot drives and RaidZ1 pool for my appdata/cache/thumbs etc, while on a regular server I would have to do a bunch of shell stuff that I don't care to learn to be frank. 

To be clear: 

  • I am not asking about accessing hexOS-managed drives.
  • I am asking about accessing remote drives from other machines on hexOS and passing them to various apps.
