Is HexOS right for me?

[Tyler Holdener]

Sorry in advance if this isn't the right place to post this.

 

I setup a homeserver a few years ago that is currently held together by good vibes and duct-tape. I want to make something more streamlined and better organized than whatever it is I have going on now.

I am currently running windows 11 with an ubuntu VM that handles all my docker containers. I was curious if I could just run HexOS and use it's on app store to more or less recreate my environment. I have listed the services I use below along with the specs of the PC (the drives are setup super weirdly I know) Thanks! 🙂

 

PC Specs:

 CPU: i7-9700k

GPU: nvidia 3080

RAM: 64gb DDR4

Storage:

2x 500GB SSD drives (one for the operating system and one for a backup)

1x 6TB SATA (first drive I got for setting up media still holds some movies and TV shows)

1x 20TB SATA (Media, tv, movies etc)

2x 8TB SATA that are currently configured in a RAID0 I know this is weird I was learning and never raided a drive before (More media)

 

Services:

Windows: .Arr stack (Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr), OMBI, NZBget, qbitorrent, RustDesk, Scaletail and Tantualli 

Link/Docker Containers: Portainer, Adguard Home, Karakeep, Homepage

 

I've already backedup all my configs and wiping all the media off my drives isn't a big issue since there is nothing important on them. Any help of advice would be appreciated.

Hello.  If you want to run a Windows VM then hold off on buying till we release that feature. Also try to setup your drives the following.

Boot drives. 2 256 GB or 128 GB drives.

3 Hard drives for data. 3 minimum so it can grow. 

If possible 2 NVMe drives for apps. This makes everything run much faster. 512 GB or 1 TB should be good. 

Also a good branded UPS. 

 

Hope this helps.
