Getting there, my show and tell

Getting there, these are what I have running at the moment. iX App is owncloud running, that took about 30 hours and 4 different AI chat bots mainly. There wasnt much out there to help with getting it to run. Why owncloud and not next cloud. I had next cloud installed, didnt like it. So I tried owncloud which feels tidier and more refined and it does what I want it to do. I would love to try and make an install app for it (if your listening  hexos people and turenas people) .

Whats next, reverse proxy so I can access it all securely from the outside. I did have something like jellyfin.home working with https for my local, however the tv doesnt like it. Computers are fine.

Install guide are critical for the beta test to pick up more of the steam it had at the beginning.  The "I can't get this o work" forum posts seem to outnumber the "Wow, this is great' posts.  There are also few posts that show what people use and are bringing over from TrueNAS.  And even less on how they did it.  And for people like me I'm not even thinking about trying other apps on my own until I see more folks nailing down the initial install.  Right or wrong, I saw a guide for tailscale and was able to use it to get remote access to Immich and the storage within HexOS itself.  I'm slow to look at apps that cost though I have a Plex pass because getting the value of that  app is within my skill..

It seems that if you put an install guide that the new to NAS folks can follow, you are helping to set the apps that will become the defaults in the near term.  First dropbox type self storage apps with a working install will be way ahead of the other apps people like even if the HexOS devs chose a different app to list.  As it is often said, one in the hand is worth two in the bush.
