SMB Shares Broken recently?

I got my HexOS NAS set up last weekend, got all my folder shares set up, and got all my data pushed to the folders and Plex and everything was working great. I had the folders mapped to separate network drives (S: for Shows, M: for Movies, P: for Photos, etc etc etc). And for a week or so it worked fine.

Then I try to access them today, no dice. Windows tells me I don't have permission to access the folder, even though I've double and triple checked the password is correct, local account users are set up to access the folders, and all that. Windows also shows the drive as "up" (aka it's green), it just won't let me access it.

The only thing that has changed with my setup recently is that I set up a Reverse Proxy through Cloudflare for my Immich server, so I could share albums with my sister. That still works too. Plex still works, Plexamp as well. As far as I can tell, everything else still works, except for the SMB shares which I can't access anymore.

Happy to provide any information, I can dig around through TrueNAS with someone's help as well. Fairly technically proficient, just new to all of this.

Repaired my windows install and am now trying to access the dashboard. I logged in through my normal credentials and am now facing an “Update Personal Information” prompt. It is demanding I give my name. WTF do you need that? I already have an account fully set up and never have seen this prompt before. I paid for the product, you do not need any more of my information. I got this specifically to try and lessen that amount of shit that is taking my data. This needs to be removed! Anyone know of a way to circumvent this prompt and just access the dashboard?

So I just noticed that under TrueNAS

the hexos "app" is shown as having an update

screen shot

However usually Hex OS shows updates on the Dashboard or shows that they have automatically been installed...

Currently there is nothing showing... is it safe to install a hexos update this way?

is there something else I am missing?

Having trouble with pools

Hello, I am working on my very first NAS. I have a SSD for boot and 4 one terabyte drives. I would like to split them down the middle, having 2 TB to use and 2 TB as a backup. But when I create a pool it only allows me to do 3tb with 1 as a backup. Is there a way to change that I am not seeing?

I renamed my HDDs drive pool in truenas to hdd1 as I don't want data redundancy for my use case, and now I've noticed I can't do anything with the apps in hexos as it is still looking for "HDDs". My system also crashed as the 120gb boot drive filled up, I assume from logs related to this. Is this something I can fix? Apologies, I won't be able to test anything for several weeks, as I am in the hospital for cancer treatments.

Hi everyone,

Edit: it's fixed now! Rebooting it and using the prod.hexos.com URL worked for me thanks everyone!

Last week I tried to access my server dashboard but to my surprise It couldn't find it. The week before I was able to access it (even showed me it was running local if my memory is correct).

The server is running, I can access plex and truenas.

I have looked around on reddit and I saw that I should try prod.hexos.com, but same thing happens. So with my limited (and mostly basic tech) knowledge I've tried unclaiming the server in the hope it would pop up again, but that also didn't work. Does anyone else have this problem?

Just updated my server to version 2026.05.05.58eae70 and had an issue where everything on the HexOS dash disappeared, no storage pools, no apps, nothing at all.

But my TrueNAS dash was working fine.

Turns out for some reason my local server IP had changed itself from 192.168.5.61 to 192.168.5.84

How this happened during the update? I have no clue. Was it something I did? probably. I just can't figure out what, as all I did was press the update button.

Anyway, the solution was to go into the HexOS app in the 'apps' section of the TrueNAS UI, then select edit, scroll down to 'container configuration' and find the variable for Local LAN IP and changed it to the new, working, IP Address.

It's now all back up and running like normal. Not sure if this was just a me thing, but it's worth a shot if anyone else has a similar issue.

(I'm not good at networking, I installed hexos for a reason lol, this is the advice of an idiot, take it with a mountain of salt, it's just what worked for me)

CPU temperature has been misreporting for an unknown amount of time. All cores individually don't show Max temperatures close to the reported. Suggestions?
