How to update HexOs? Confused, because updating via Truenas can break compatibility?

[Rudy De Volder]

I see many updates on the website. Mostly in the Hex.OS DECK interface and these go of coarse automattically but what about updating the local TrueNAS engine without breaking things? Today I saw in the command deck a message that my TrueNas can be updated, but I was afraid to do so. Can someone tell me how it happens or how it is supposed to work to keep the 2 updates in sync ?

Maybe in release 1.0 there will be a update knob that installs a script to update TrueNas for the version to be in sync? It would be very clear for NEWBIES when there's a warning in the deck when to run this script and a warning not to do updates via TrueNas.

First, considering we are still in beta, it is likely (thought not common) that updates will break things.

Anyway, the job of keeping things in sync is on HexOS. If HexOS tells you you can update TrueNAS, they are ready for it, but it is not mandatory.

(it could happen that, eventually, HexOS will tell you that you must update TrueNAS to be able to receive new versions of HexOS, but we are not there yet)
