I am thinking about purchasing Hex OS for my dell poweredge r730xd. I originally had some issues when trying to install Truenas since it had no easy way to control fans. Im pretty sure this is due to the communication with the computer and the fans itself since I had to enter hex code to control the fans manually via Dell IPMI. My question is, with hex os is there an easy way to control this and if not would a feature like that ever be implemented in the future

As far as i am aware there is no way to control fan speeds at this time. I'm not if/when we would get such a feature. 

I would check if there are any docker apps that would work for fan control.

Truenas has no option to control fan speeds. There are some solutions available, but as far as I know they are very experimental.

See as example:

This script is tested in Proxmox on a Dell Poweredge R730xd. Since Proxmox is also Linux based, perhaps this script will also work in Truenas Scale. (Truenas Core is based on FreeBSD).

I'm in the same boat @Matt11 running a dell r730xd, and currently doing the same thing with IPMI, just have a word document with the hex codes I need to input. I don't really see there being a day where HexOS really implements a fan control within the software.  Thankfully since my server just runs 24/7 and my load remains mostly static as far as CPU usage, I don't have a huge problem with the set and forget fan speed via IPMI.
