Is #Hexos worth paying $299 for today the answer for me is probably no, not yet. If you want a really easy to use, low effort operating system then use #ZimaOS. Hexos is built on top of #TrueNAS and the team at Hex are trying to unseat #Unraid, but as of today, they have a long way to go. #homelab

Timmmeeehhhaccess though a website? ouch. Sounds worse than it looked from the bit of research i did

Oct 4, 2025There are a few choices they made that I'm kinda confused why
TimmmeeehhhThe entire point of having your own NAS for a lot of people is to not rely on the cloud. I don’t understand why they would do it like this. This would definitely be a dealbreaker for me. Maybe the idea is to have it be easily accessible from outside.. but could just use cloudflare tunnel for that

Oct 4, 2025That may have been their thinking but will it allow streaming data? So I could use it as a remote folder for video files?
Timmmeeehhhyou mean with a cloudflare tunnel?.. it’s essentially a reverse proxy, you install a service for it on truenas, setup the tunnel, setup which port you want to access from cloudflare and you can access it without opening ports on your router. You can do anything you want with that tbh, i run nextcloud like that.
joe dirt$200 for an API wrapper is wild. lol

Oct 3, 2025I know right, I can see the long term vision, but today not worth it.
David Tullylove these. nice one dude. we have moved over to proxmox and it's great. might be overkill but the learning is great.

Oct 3, 2025I think the learning part is actually the fun part, the tools and apps are just tasty cream on top.

You have to go through a portal on the web to administer your locally hosted machine? That sounds terrible and also prone to unwanted data mining. And 200? That’s crazy.

Oct 3, 2025I think that the idea is OK, make truenas easier to use. But that's already well solved with unraid, and if it's to make it beginner friendly that's solved for 10% of the cost in Zima, so I'm really not sure what the plan is for them.

Ted Joneslike you said & imo, I don't see the point in paying all that money, just for a web skin for truenas.

Oct 3, 2025I'm honestly surprised at the price point and the current feature set, it feels very rushed to market.

Ted JonesI first heard about it last year. I signed up for the news letter & I only got 1 email, months and months ago. to be honest, I had forgotten all about it, until I read it in the comments of one of your vids. isn't Linus tech tips a major backer of the project? 🤔
Creator
Oct 3, 2025Oh, I think your right, I think I remember something like that.
Fred MorrisonThis has been a great series and I'm really glad you bought that micro PC! Appreciate all the work you put into these videos
Creator
Oct 3, 2025No problem at all! Glad your liking them :)
RodThese have been great, has made me rethink using omv in the solution I was considering, are you going to do an overall summary of them all?

Oct 3, 2025Yeah, 100%, I'm going to talk about linux/Ubuntu next, then a final wrap up.
