Sounds like you'd be a good candidate for our upcoming offering: HexOS (https://www.hexos.com).  We hope to have our beta out in Q3 and could be right up your alley.

Looking forward to it!

Have you considered working with a case vendor like Sliger or 45Homelab to bundle to OS with a case?

When HexOS is ready for release have you considered working with a media company with a retail team that can put a video together showing a bundle of Case/PSU/Mobo/CPU/RAM bundled with HexOS that can be purchased all together?  Seems like a great way to get a large number of users on the same configuration that would make it easier to support.

Either as a limited launch edition or a regular annual release with updated hardware?

I just set up Docker manually and made Plex running on it. Plex recognized my collections without any explicit configuration in access control. You may also wait for the upcoming Electric Eel (24.10) release, in which native Docker support has been anticipated.

As we are partnered with TrueNAS themselves, we will have support on the Mini-R series, but as far as other vendors are concerned, it is probably premature. We are starting focused on people bringing their own gear and will expand after our 1.0 launch.

Docker is 100% confirmed for EE. We are running it in nightly builds already. Very exciting given our experience building out the docker ecosystem for Unraid. We've been eager to get another chance at designing that given all the things we've learned from that experience.

hey guys, Im posting this issue again in a (hopefully) more helpful section of the forums. I recently setup plex on my Truenas server, but in doing so i messed up the permissions to my media folder. I uninstalled plex and even tried to make new user credentials. ive tried editing my credentials. when trying to access my media folder i get "you do not have permission to access (media folder) contact your local network administrator to request access." I obviously have admin access to my NAS i just dont know what to do. at this point my googling skill have ran dry, and i guess im just that lucky.

 

any help would be apreciated, thank you

One thing you must take into account is the access control in SMB/Samba service, which is entirely isolated from the owner/permission control of each dataset. You may configure it in [IP_Address]/ui/sharing/smb .

In the following example, only the user Bersella has access to the shared dataset Photo, with others (such as TV) denied from access via Samba, even though they may own or have permissions to Photo internally.
