I bought a license at the $99 offer, not sure i would pay much more for a nas OS. If it was $100 with all feature updates for 3 years and 5 years security updates that would be fine. I do currently run proxmox with 4 VM's and hope to move those duties to HEXOS when it's ready.

HexOS is 100% Truenas with a stupid WebUI on top, it would never replace anything as home scenario. Where unRAID is the smart choice if you want a simple and better OS to use.

What a comprehensive review of real world use. Well done!

The UART module is useful for engineering and industrial applications.

HP has technical reference and service manuals that have a lot of useful information. Helped me a lot in the past. Great video!

i have a old core 2 due processor PC laying around in storage. so my question is can this able to handle the small cloud storage server ? and how much storage can I use with this processor.

License for 300$? Thanks, no.

This sounds less than beta. Its missing a lot. The asking price is more like an imvestment. It bothers me its not advertized as such.

A left field concern I have for performance, especially for the A310, is PCIe speed/version. I'm using a Gen8 Microserver right now, and looking at ways to eek out as much from it as I can. That includes looking into a graphics card for transcoding over the onboard Matrox GPU - but given the age of the machine I'm not sure if the raw performance of the A310 would be lost through the use of an older generation PCIe slot?

Very nice, but im not sure the point of all these machines and switches. You can just run a single machine and have all the functionality.

Adding new devices is way easier than shown. `btrfs device add /dev/loop2p1 /mnt/my-btrfs/`

pin out isn't a problem if you know how to program and change code, *if you take the time to change the pins via duponts or other ofc*

Hexos is basically unraid but with truenas sublayer

Definitely an awesome project HH! Since i been thinking about a NAS or to repurpose my lab server. For the fan i would've cut the grill off the back mount the fan outside, bolt it on, drill a small hole for power leads to fan to go through, then build a 3d external fan cage thingy. I want to do something with less work though lol!

One word: firewalla

This thing is perfect, too bad it's sold out.

No.

or just install freebsd

Lanner Lapistor RAIDMate NAS - NS04-4200 (No Software) NAS I have this nas doesn't have any software on it. What is a good software for 4bay nas

The headless option was in the previous bios. :P

As a tech guy who enjoys fiddling, I'd actually be interested in HexOS once it matures. Sometimes setting up and managing a server/NAS can just be tedious, and I'm not interested in my home server becoming a second job. I'd actually like having HexOS hold my hand, but have the option of diving into TrueNAS when I need to customize something specific, and then jump back out to HexOS afterwards. Definitely needs more time in the oven though. PS: For reference, I currently run a 4-bay Synology. It fits my needs, but I feel like Synology is losing focus and their software quality is being chipped away at. So I'd be interested in rolling my own NAS in the future, with something like HexOS.

at 300$ i think this is competing with synology

I appreciate what they are trying to do and it's not easy due to developers hating to release anything easy. Or don't understand that regular people don't want to spend half their life learning a new terminology trying to figure out why something doesn't work. What they need is true simplicity. For regular person that wants to store photos and videos and share them. Back up their computer or phone. Download stuff. That pretty much covers 99% of "home server" The rest like raid vs zfs, or you need to ssh in, doesn't mean anything to most people.

I'm just starting out and looking at your video title /i was expecting something different. There is no way that I'm be paying $300 for the software, and especially that is solely a cloud based that defeats privacy and security. This is what I'm trying to evade or escape from potential of Windows future editions that there will be solo cloud based there is a nonsense.

Thanks!

Cloud only access put's this on the hard pass list. I'll look again in the future.

At this point it would take a lot for me to move from unraid which for me works perfectly.

Forget piss

Would an Intel U300 seem like a good video idea?

I got 2 lifetime licenses for 100$ each, just to have the option once the product has matured. Currently I run both a Qunap and a Synology NAS at home, but they won't last forever. Once those machines have reached their end of life I will give Hex OS a chance, but only if they have a fully local setup by that time. Im a network turtle when it comes to data security. I had some good experiences with the Synology NAS so far. It performed way better than my Qnap NAS though it cost only half as much and on paper had far less performance. However Synologys restrictive Hardware policies make me think multiple times before buying more of their stuff.

Is it normal to after installing debian in my USB stick it deletes evert single thing in there and reduces its storage from 32gb to 9mb?

Proprietary subscription based shit

While I like these short videos, I hate that anytime a link is posted you are unable to click on them because they are just text and not a active hyperlink. I do like this board, but it is a bit out of my price range.

DVR?

Siudo comants dount work 😢

i have what i call a very old server a hp ProLiant n36l its i think 18 years old back in the day it had 4 drives in it with 1 SSD the 4 drives was 2tb each i ever used it as a drive storage device it still runs now but I'm thinking of putting it back in to service but not sure what to use it for i do need replace all the drives and put an OS on there mind

casaos but its not free

use the GPIO header for sata activity

Would you take this over a Healuk?

Really no mention of using a SBC? if you're trying to save on the initial costs, SBCs can easily let you experiment with different computer roles, be that NAS, app server, switch etc. My journey started with a single Pi1, 8 years later it's now 4 x Pi4, Ubiquti DM, and a repurposed X64 Intel gaming rig now proxmox server.

I didn't realize opnewrt was still around. I thought that the FCC had pretty much killed it by some of the limitations they placed on the manufactures.
