Can we update to 25.04.1 ?

[RahnOS]

Is it safe at this point to update or stay on 24.10?

It's not recommended to run TrueNas updtaes since it can break HexOs.

I did the update anyway - end result is an inability to boot TrueNas interface, never mind HexOS connectivity (API). I'm running HexOS (TrueNas) as a virtual machine on VMWare Workstation.

To fix this, during boot I selected the 24.10.2.2 boot environment and everything came back just fine. Then I went to System-->Boot, made the 24.10.2.2 active and deleted the 25.04.1 environment.



Not sure why this isn't possible given the upgrade/update path, but a quick Google search shows many others have issues after upgrading (TrueNas middleware not starting, checksum verification failed, etc.).


I wanted to ensure that I did an update because I am NOT doing a full reinstall. It takes over a month for IMMICH to re-index and transcode everything and I'm not savvy enough to figure out how to back up the IMMICH working directory and then restore it later. I only let it access my files elsewhere on the network for the purpose of generating a multimedia gallery. I don't upload to it. Also - I'm not going to reinstall NextCloud: I figured it out once with great pain and much time and endless nights with Chat GPT and don't get me started on the config.php file and "apt-get vim" to be able to do it. If someone wanted to inflict self-harm to themselves, figuring out how to install and work with NextCloud would probably be more soul-sucking than jumping off a bridge.

I've been on 24.,10.2.2 for some time, no issues and no conflicts with HexOS. It's Fangtooth (25.04***) that you need to stay away from for now.

I've done all the ElectricEel updates and not had any problems.  Just don't go to Fangtooth - I think that's the advice?

Correct. Learn from my mis-adventures. In any case - feel free to try, If unsuccessful, when booting you can select the previous boot environment (24.x) - from that blue screen. You can then make it active (System-->Boot) and then delete the 25.x that was unsuccessful.

Hi, I don't know if it's related, but I wanted to install Transmission, and it wasn't working on the version of TrueNAS I was on (Dragonfish I think), other apps were also not updating (Jellyfin, Filebrowser), so I updated TrueNAS to 24.10.2..2 and now deck.hexos.com/dash is showing server not available even though I can access all the shares through SMB and everything looks normal on TrueNAS including Transmission install and update of other apps.

Ignore me, it looks like everything is now back up and running 😅
