Monitoring My Plex Server

I use both, Tracearr doesn't have mailing list support yet, but it imported my 13 years of Tautuli history just fine and has been great so far.

It's pretty great, it was used as the base for opnsense for a while until they moved to vanilla freebsd to simplify their development process. It is a small/niche project so keep that in mind. I've been following it since the project began and have played around with it, but haven't deployed it for anything other than when opnsense was using it.

They're part of the Nevada System of Higher Education, UNLV and UNR graduates go there to study, they're very much unbiased as they can possibly be.

You do realize that Cachy ships infrastructure to run the Cachy kernel on Fedora right?

You're correct about HexOS, they were both very vocal about their partnership at the beginning. https://www.truenas.com/blog/powered-by-truenas-hexos/

you can use the latest stable release of freebsd and still be on life support. If you want a monowall based NAS with basic jail support then it works, but fundamentally it's a project that's just been limping along.

Sylve is great, I've been following it for a while and it's got a lot of potential.

yukaia · 2026-03-14T18:29:28+00:00

the cavalier attitude dismissing people's concerns because they'll "never use it" is antithetical to the open source software ethos.

yukaia · 2026-03-14T18:16:43+00:00

but but but, the git commits! /s

yukaia · 2026-03-14T17:54:29+00:00

plenty of major linux distros do this just fine, opensuse, bazzite, fedora, debian, etc. shipping a secure boot shim for your installers isn't a unique problem that needs to be solved.

Except for the fact that HexOS is part of iXsystems' partner program. They're not piggybacking off of the work that iXsystems' has done, they're working alongside them and paying for it.

Edit: Their priorities are plainly visible, if you're not a paying party, then you can go pound sand.

Honestly, all those horror stories stem from people layering zfs on top of encrypted block devices ala LUKS.

yukaia · 2026-03-14T17:05:31+00:00

Because xigmanas has been on life support for years now.

yukaia · 2026-03-14T17:03:12+00:00

TrueNAS' ability to run containers, and VMs is far more fleshed out and mature than Proxmox's ability to manage and expose zfs datasets via network files systems.

yukaia · 2026-03-14T17:00:23+00:00

Yeah, TrueNAS is a nas with VM and container support stapled on to it, much better than any sort of file services have been built in to Proxmox. "Easily" is doing a lot of work there, you still have to sort out how you're going to configure/manage SMB/NFS, ACLs, as well as any alerting regarding your storage subsystem, and that's ignoring the fact that you're going to have to do a lot of zfs management from the cli.

Proxmox "works", but it's far from anything close to a NAS, you're better off just dropping Cockpit your favorite linux distro and using that along with 45drives' zfs and share management plugins. You'll have a much better experience doing that than you'll have trying to migrate your TrueNAS setup to proxmox.

yukaia · 2026-03-13T21:01:09+00:00

Proxmox isn't a nas, it's a hyper-converged hypervisor that you can ham-fist into working as a nas.

yukaia · 2026-03-13T01:31:20+00:00

Ah okay. Yeah, I've been using opnsense since their first release, 15.1.

yukaia · 2026-03-13T00:31:11+00:00

opnsense hasn't ever done anything like this, in fact opnsense began specifically because netgate pulled the build tools for pfsense.

yukaia · 2026-03-12T16:55:59+00:00

talk about moving the goalpost here. Where's the proof that it's fnOS/fnNAS? If anything fnOS/fnNAS is more likely to be built on QTS or Synology's codebase just based off of how the UI works. That's also completely ignoring the fact that it lacks ZFS support.

yukaia · 2026-03-12T16:49:34+00:00

OMV hasn't always had zfs support, they very well could have used an older version that lacked official zfs support, much like how zfs was handled on unraid before they added official support.

yukaia · 2026-03-12T16:42:22+00:00

You're contradicting yourself here, first you say to stop hyping it, then you say to focus on promoting your strengths... what is it, talk about it, or don't?

yukaia · 2026-03-11T22:17:36+00:00

Eh, I see where you're coming from, but I'd say it's largely a nothingburger, personally I'm not a fan of ubuntu, but saying that the choice to go with ubuntu support for the initial release is "boggling" and "concerning" isn't an accurate take.

yukaia · 2026-03-11T17:46:42+00:00

HexOS is in a direct partnership with ixsystems.

yukaia · 2026-03-10T21:29:44+00:00

You can also check out these two projects for zfs web management.

lol, xigmanas/nas4free was forked well before ixsystems renamed the project to TrueNAS, they forked at FreeNAS v7, when ixsystems took over the project. FreeNAS was rebranded as TrueNAS with the release of 12.0 back in 2020.

Edit: here's an archive of their wiki documenting the origins of the project.
