00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.040
if you're anything like me you are rightfully tired of paying for monthly

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.840
subscriptions it feels like every day there's something new that's demanding a

00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:14.480
monthly fee whether it's a TV show you like your car's heated seats or a piece

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:19.640
of software that you need for work the corporate meta these days is you own

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:22.359
nothing you pay forever and you could

00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:27.599
just lie there and take it or you can do what we do and use your hyper nerd

00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:30.039
powers to push back you can load your

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:33.840
media into a private Netflix with Plex you can automate your home with home

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:39.320
assistant heck you can even host your own cloud photo backup with image the

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:43.600
problem is all of those things require at least some storage and more

00:00:41.559 --> 00:00:47.800
critically some knowhow when it comes to setup and maintenance now I'm sure that

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:52.640
most of you are more than capable of figuring it out and you might even enjoy

00:00:50.199 --> 00:00:56.000
the process but if you like me you probably also enjoy relaxing at the end

00:00:54.760 --> 00:01:02.320
of the day without your family complaining that the garage doors won't open and that Plex is buffering

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:07.080
what if there was a way to take that complexity wrap it up in a nice little

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:12.680
package or interface if you will and make it so that anyone could be their

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:15.200
home's Tech hero okay maybe not anyone

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:19.680
but the truth is I have no idea exactly how user-friendly it is because even

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:26.400
though I invested $250,000 into the idea that became hexos

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.960
over two years ago I have literally

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:34.079
never tried it until today like right

00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:36.960
right now Jake is it any good I'm not

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:43.040
telling you before our sponsor ODU don't let mismatching apps

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:46.920
slow down your business use ODU to make your life easier check out their

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.479
all-in-one business Suite using our Link in the video

00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:02.920
description the story of why I decided to invest in this is actually kind of

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:06.520
funny John from their team reached out to let me know hey I'm leaving un raid

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:13.599
I'm going to embark on this crazy Journey would you like to be an angel investor and I kind of went yeah thank

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:19.840
you so much for thinking of me but I'm out then the very next weekend I burned

00:02:17.239 --> 00:02:26.920
an entire evening fighting with a new trunz setup and well one thing led to

00:02:23.720 --> 00:02:29.040
another and here it is to uh answer your

00:02:26.920 --> 00:02:32.879
earlier question it's still pretty beta so there is a lot that's missing but

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:37.599
what's available today in the Early Access version they're launching it's

00:02:34.920 --> 00:02:42.760
actually pretty promising exciting maybe but we should probably give everyone a

00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:44.640
quick tldr before we get into that cool

00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:49.000
hexos what you're seeing on the screen right now is an operating system like

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.360
say Windows but purpose built for running your own storage and your own

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:58.879
apps on your own Hardware whether that's at home or a small business now none of

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:02.560
that is special network attached storage or Nas operating system systems have

00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:07.159
been around for longer than I have and we have featured similar software like

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:11.840
traz and unraid numerous times over the years the Special Sauce is that hexos is

00:03:09.799 --> 00:03:18.400
designed to be easy to use even if you're not a jake what's that supposed

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:20.720
to mean it means show me how to set it

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:25.680
up nerd well you've got your USB right here have at her all got it yeah off the

00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:29.080
floor now we could have used a fancy pre-built server like we usually do but

00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:33.319
we figured it'd be better to show it off with something from eBay like this

00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:37.319
Optiplex 3050 we got for 45 bucks it's got solid quad core bones but it's

00:03:35.239 --> 00:03:42.680
missing storage and only had a 1 gig Network Port so we picked up a used 256

00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:47.799
gig SSD to boot from an Intel 10 gig network card and a pair of 4 TB C8 Nas

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:51.599
hard drives which fit as long as you're willing to get a little bit creative

00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:56.120
with the stubby from Mt store.com that brings our total before accounting for

00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:00.920
bulk storage to a nice $69 nice we're going to have links to

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:04.599
those down in the video description if you want to build something similar now

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:07.840
we've already updated the BIOS and if you're rehabbing an old machine like

00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:13.200
this it is a good idea for you to do the same install-wise then it's the same as

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:17.400
any other OS plug in a bootable installer USB you can make one of those

00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:22.440
with the iso image and a tool like Rufus or etcher hold your system setup key

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:27.720
configure to select your USB boot device restart and you should be good to go oh

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.560
there is one thing if you want to run virtual machines or apps you're also

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:36.360
going to want to make sure that virtualization is enabled while you're in the system setup once you're in the

00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:41.160
installer hit install select your desired boot storage administrative user

00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:45.800
enter a password and hit install when that's done remove the USB installer and

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:49.840
reboot pretty simple but it will hopefully get even simpler in the future

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:55.080
how could that be simpler oh you're actually asking yeah I actually just

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:57.000
going to remove steps oh cool all right

00:04:55.080 --> 00:04:59.840
with the system booted head to the hexos cloud dashboard and as long as your

00:04:58.440 --> 00:05:03.440
system and you are on the same network it should automatically detect it and be

00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:10.199
ready for setup hit claim enter the password you said earlier and this is it

00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:12.280
I finally get to look at hexos and since

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:16.160
I know you guys are going to ask yes a self hostable app for the dashboard will

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:20.319
be available in the future but for now it's it's Cloud only save on magnetic

00:05:18.039 --> 00:05:24.759
Cable Management screwdrivers and more at LTT stores Black Friday sale deals

00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:30.280
are still going on now so check them out at the link below or at lm. g/ Black

00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:34.960
Friday now you'll probably notice away that everything is pretty guided it does

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:39.240
compatibility checks for you to ensure that your Hardware is optimal and it

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:44.080
makes it easy to see if everything is working click on the hard drives let's

00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:46.720
see okay what do we got there oh yeah it's got the USB we don't need that

00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:53.199
anymore oh yeah we can take that didn't follow our own instructions oops okay

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.000
and here's my storage yeah so it should

00:05:53.199 --> 00:06:00.319
automatically set up your drives in the most optimal configuration which for us

00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:03.680
you can see with only two 4 TB drives

00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:06.000
is either a raid Z1 or a mirror I think

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:09.840
it's a mirror yep okay so that allows one of our drives to fail without any

00:06:08.039 --> 00:06:14.560
data loss which actually does a really good job of communicating extremely

00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:19.080
clearly yeah one drive can fail 4 tabes usable it's great what's cool is it'll

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:23.280
even create separate pools for ssds and hard drives if you have both so you can

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:27.520
put performance sensitive data like uh virtual discs for example on your ssds

00:06:25.960 --> 00:06:32.280
and then all the rest of it on your cheaper mechanical storage it is worth

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:36.919
noting that if we had more drives which we could have if we threw an inexpensive

00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:40.800
uh HBA card into our server it would configure it differently according to

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:44.240
ZFS best practices so if we had like five or six drives yeah but six drives

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:48.880
would probably do a raid Z2 so we could lose two without losing any data fun

00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:52.759
fact by the way if you're not trying to do anything custom like setting a

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:57.720
non-standard array layout which by the way will be supported in future releases

00:06:55.400 --> 00:07:02.919
all you have to do is click a few times click continue yeah I confirm that these

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:08.479
will be deleted I create a name for the server your dad's Dell uh confirm that

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:12.360
you're going to wipe the drives and that's it you've got your very own

00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:17.599
network attached storage server ready to go yeah that means owning your data in a

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:24.560
way that is not annoying to manage kind of awesome in theory but what can it do

00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:30.240
wait is it done already yes oh wow yeah that's pretty cool yeah huh this is this

00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:34.000
is actually surprisingly friendly all of the features are

00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:40.319
definitely not there but what is there is is polished so this is the dashboard

00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:44.960
right hey you got your processor that's doing stuff you got your memory that's

00:07:42.599 --> 00:07:48.120
also doing stuff yeah very clearly labels the speed that your networking is

00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:53.039
operating at I didn't notice that that's cute yeah which one is that the one that's working yeah oh look at the

00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:58.440
little graph right there nice most importantly our

00:07:55.159 --> 00:08:00.400
storage Okay cool so what do we got here

00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:04.159
uh we can expand this no we can't we don't have extra drives oh oh that kind

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:08.840
of expansion yeah I thought it meant expand the look at it the the view

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:14.319
drives you can do that okay cool I can view drives nice I think you broke D

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:19.800
break it I I think I broke it already oh you changed the networking settings oh

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:26.280
dude dude this is why I'm such a good beta

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:30.759
tester did I click apply oh yeah no I I totally clicked up you C 100% clicked

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:35.080
right that's why there was an alias there cool all right okay we're back in

00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:38.440
the Das trying storage we're trying to look at the storage yeah I don't know

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:46.839
how we ended up there view drives hey look at that we got some drives let's

00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:48.720
go hey healthy device ID temperature a

00:08:46.839 --> 00:08:52.600
lot of parts of the dashboard like this have basic functionality but there is

00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:56.279
stuff that's going to be added on later like eventually you'll be able to go hey

00:08:54.160 --> 00:09:02.680
run a smart test which is checking the drive's health or see your old smart

00:08:58.920 --> 00:09:05.880
test or schedule smart test but from a

00:09:02.680 --> 00:09:07.760
basic standpoint anyway this is working

00:09:05.880 --> 00:09:11.680
however we can't actually do anything with it yet there's another step that we

00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:15.240
need to go through before we can use our storage over the network and that's

00:09:13.079 --> 00:09:22.519
creating a folder or a share it does take a couple of extra clicks uh okay

00:09:19.040 --> 00:09:23.839
add a folder line of share and then

00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:31.880
managing permissions this is incredible this is

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:35.279
so need to add a user first simple uh

00:09:31.880 --> 00:09:38.040
yeah sure fine I'll add a user L and

00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.000
then I go into my folders oh boom brother

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:47.680
dude I sent some long emails to John oh

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:52.839
yeah bless his heart poor guy um talking about permissions and what a nightmare

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:55.920
it is on other Naas operating systems just Drilling in guys it's got to be

00:09:54.760 --> 00:10:00.399
simple and this

00:09:57.959 --> 00:10:04.680
dude this is the best I could have possibly hoped for are you telling me

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:13.160
you don't want to learn how to do acl's no no I just I just want to get my Linux

00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:16.160
isos onto my network storage and off the

00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:19.000
well right the idea here is that you can

00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:22.480
make users for your kids your roommate your spouse whatever and everyone can

00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:26.880
have their own private place to put files and you can either have readon

00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:31.839
access or full access so I'm going to give myself full access I'm just going

00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:37.519
to make this a public share which I wouldn't necessarily recommend doing but

00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:42.680
hey it's there now so theoretically I can just access this share immediately

00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:45.519
yeah here click on this though oh sure and then go click

00:10:45.560 --> 00:10:54.320
browse there you go it tells you how to do it oh oh oh cute yeah and you just

00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:57.800
copy paste and click enter and you're there I mean you didn't technically

00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.639
follow the instructions they told you to map it but you're there and there

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:08.040
there's actually if you click the drop down it gives you the Mac instructions too oh cute yeah wasn't that so easy how

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:12.120
long did that take you could probably have done that in like 3 minutes look at

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:16.800
that it's done already yeah do another one let's go it's a mirror so we're

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:21.480
limited to the speed of one hard drive but I mean it just works right to be

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:24.720
clear there is nothing groundbreaking about having a network share and being

00:11:22.959 --> 00:11:30.279
able to copy some flipping files to it but if you have ever set up trz you will

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:32.320
know that it takes a few more clicks and

00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:38.839
probably some Google searches I have no idea what you're talking about yeah

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:40.639
sure but while Simplicity sounds great

00:11:38.839 --> 00:11:44.480
in theory when it comes to trusting something that holds your precious data

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:49.360
you would hope that stability and security would also be priorities and

00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:55.399
they are and it's kind of the coolest part see hexos is not a groundup project

00:11:53.560 --> 00:11:59.240
that would have taken even more years to pull off and frankly would have been a

00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:04.360
complete waste of time which is why the the team decided to build off of an

00:12:00.880 --> 00:12:06.800
already respected storage system tras

00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:11.760
for the uninitiated tras formerly known as frez has been around in some form or

00:12:08.839 --> 00:12:16.399
another for nearly two decades and while their business focuses on reliable

00:12:13.880 --> 00:12:20.880
performant open-source Enterprise grade storage something that doesn't really

00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:26.880
need to be home user friendly they also love the idea of making it easier to use

00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:29.160
which is why X systems is the other main

00:12:26.880 --> 00:12:34.199
investor in hexos which gives them a Financial incentive to ensure that hexos

00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:38.839
is a success this collaboration is super cool because even though hexos is built

00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:44.079
for normies first all of that traz goodness is still under the hood if you

00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:49.680
know where to look and where is that literally right here settings trass done

00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:54.720
so if you want to do something hexos doesn't do but trass does you can drop

00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:58.639
into the trass interface and override it no questions asked it also means that

00:12:56.680 --> 00:13:02.880
hexos works with their existing Docker apps and virtual machine functionality

00:13:01.079 --> 00:13:07.279
it's prettyy cool until beta 2 comes out in a few months you're only going to see

00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:11.839
support for apps and as of shooting a few weeks before this video goes live

00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:18.320
only Plex and image are curated for hexos so far Let's do let's do Plex and

00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:20.000
then hit install okay and that's it

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:25.519
that's it that's literally it no configuring storage

00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:29.320
paths assigning resources

00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:31.040
negative okay what if my Plex I wanted

00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:34.959
GPU acceleration or something like that have they got that solved that is not

00:13:32.760 --> 00:13:40.600
there yet as you can imagine having only two curated apps not a huge priority at

00:13:38.079 --> 00:13:44.320
the moment but in the future the idea would be you know like a drop down or a

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:49.000
checkbox yes I want to use my GPU but if you go back to folders now yeah you'll

00:13:46.920 --> 00:13:52.639
see that they're exposed so now they're passed through as Network shares and if

00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:57.199
you click on one of them like say media go to browse copy the path you can just

00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:02.880
copy movies right over all right because of the design for userfriendly

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:10.040
these are public shares by default which I was like I get it I hate it but

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:17.600
I get it hexos test oh do we have any media files yeah

00:14:13.680 --> 00:14:19.759
easy peasy dude this shouldn't be this

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:26.480
exciting this should just be how it's always worked this is a $69 computer

00:14:23.040 --> 00:14:29.920
yeah just like any random ancient

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:32.560
machine yeah just throw this on it and

00:14:29.920 --> 00:14:36.399
Nas even just having the permissions so that I can just click the one that says

00:14:34.079 --> 00:14:41.440
movies and and that'll like if you do the intuitive thing yeah it'll probably

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:48.839
be right yeah and that's it okay so we can see everything here yep um I'm just

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:52.279
going to go to other videos despic just

00:14:48.839 --> 00:14:54.480
like that boys hey and nobody can take

00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:59.040
this content off the platform or take away your access to it that compared to

00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:04.720
the other times I've had to fight with folder permissions in tras with Plex yep

00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:10.519
wow okay now image this one's even more challenging

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:12.000
it's actually kind of mindboggling that

00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:17.120
these guys have been working away on this after like me giving them some

00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:18.440
funding and I have not even like asked

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:23.639
for an update you literally never even looked at it they showed me like uh a

00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:27.079
really early couple like screenshots of what they were kind of thinking for the

00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:30.360
vibe of the wizard yeah your email was basically I will only give you this

00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:36.560
money if if you just don't talk to me about it until it's ready I don't have

00:15:33.319 --> 00:15:39.920
time for I agree okay look at that so

00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:42.199
that's it get started bloody H okay me I

00:15:39.920 --> 00:15:46.199
mean we can't do anything about the setup process of the apps themselves but

00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:52.319
well you might be able to actually but right now not a priority well put it on

00:15:49.839 --> 00:15:56.959
your phone no way just download the app there is absolutely no way that that

00:15:54.959 --> 00:16:00.319
just works you have image already okay I need to set a server end point

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:05.440
oh perfect okay uh allow full access oh oh

00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:08.519
my God are you just going to how many photos are on this phone I a few there's

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:12.440
no like the photos we wouldn't want to see

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:19.759
in there is there I should certainly hope not so I just go to backup and then

00:16:15.959 --> 00:16:21.680
I can select any uh album that I want to

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:27.519
back up from your phone from my from my phone and then I go back and I click

00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:29.600
backup and then just boom Hey look it's

00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:33.360
boom look at it go that's such a cute photo look at the kittens I know wow

00:16:31.880 --> 00:16:36.680
look at that it works so you uploaded that whole folder and it's done which is

00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:42.000
great as long as you're on the same local network but to truly replace your

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:46.639
expensive subscription services like Google photos you've got to be able to

00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:51.120
use it when you're out and about that'll be covered they'll be curating apps that

00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:55.880
allow you to have a reverse proxy setup with like a domain you could have

00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:59.720
photos. lin.com and that would be a relatively secure way to do it and I

00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:03.920
also pitched John on maybe working with cloudflare to integrate their access

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:08.079
zero trust setup which allows you to do that but without port for redeem and you

00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:12.039
can even like password protect it with your Google account oh that would be

00:17:10.120 --> 00:17:17.280
super cool um they're also going to have wire guard VPN integrated soon for easy

00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:19.959
remote access and they also also plan to

00:17:17.280 --> 00:17:23.600
offer a fully integrated remote access system by way of an inexpensive

00:17:21.439 --> 00:17:28.039
subscription which yes I know a subscription but doing that for free

00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:31.640
wouldn't be sustainable and it's not like you're forced to use it it reminds

00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:37.640
me of Home assistant where the subscription is it's kind of more of a convenience thing you can 100% have home

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:42.960
assistant remotely accessible on your own but it is inconvenient um I pay for

00:17:40.840 --> 00:17:46.799
it and there's even more the original reason for integrating wire guard was

00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:54.080
actually for a feature that I have been begging John to create for n years well

00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:59.520
buddy backup this is going to be super cool the idea is that if you and a paid

00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:06.039
friend both have hexos you'll be able to easily share storage capacity with each

00:18:02.159 --> 00:18:08.480
other in a safe secure manner that way I

00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:13.720
could back up my stuff to a separate geographic location say for example your

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:18.520
house and you could back up your stuff to my house and both of the shares would

00:18:15.840 --> 00:18:22.640
be encrypted I'm not giving you what no it it's encrypted I can't even access I

00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:26.640
don't care I'm giving you my bites look the point is that you can have a

00:18:24.159 --> 00:18:32.919
mutually beneficial agreement to give each other offsite backup you hear that

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:35.799
word said agreement what Jake oh you're

00:18:32.919 --> 00:18:42.159
being so unhelpful right now the point is that you'd be able to

00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:46.240
share capacity with each other uh or just file share with each other without

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:51.799
having to manually set up a solution for that which is very doable today y but a

00:18:49.600 --> 00:18:55.760
royal pain in the ARs yeah the file sharing thing is I I could Vibe with

00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:59.320
that uh man I got to tell you the real reason I want to do this is so that I

00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:03.520
can just build a giant off site backup Target here and then like it'll be an

00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:08.480
employment perk because as long as I provide it for people other than myself

00:19:05.840 --> 00:19:14.960
then it's taxfree that means it's free right is it right off now here's the

00:19:11.360 --> 00:19:17.480
pitch hexos is an awesome concept with

00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:21.880
real backing and a passionate team but unlike tress which it's based on it is

00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:25.720
not free there are real people behind this project and as much as I'd love to

00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:30.559
it's not something that I can personally fund forever so with all of that said

00:19:28.360 --> 00:19:35.480
Till the the end of the day December 2nd hexo's Early Access is finally available

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:41.480
to try out at the Black Friday only price of $99 for a lifetime license one

00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:45.559
payment access for life including any and all future updates after the Black

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:49.760
Friday sale they plan to increase the lifetime pricing to $1.99 during early

00:19:47.679 --> 00:19:54.120
access and then $2.99 when it goes retail with yes a cheaper monthly

00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:59.320
subscription option coming sometime later to reiterate it is very beta there

00:19:57.159 --> 00:20:03.640
will be bugs which you can report on the hexos forums and you shouldn't use it

00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:08.679
for anything that you need to work flawlessly like it'll probably be fine

00:20:06.159 --> 00:20:13.760
in terms of data Integrity since it's mostly just an interface for an existing

00:20:10.919 --> 00:20:17.280
very stable and reliable product but I have to give you guys that warning

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:21.840
regardless it's also not going to be the only Nas software that we ever use or

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:27.080
mention again it's a focused product that is meant for the HB Creator and

00:20:24.280 --> 00:20:30.799
Tech dad market so while it would work for a small business once it's ready

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:35.440
it's not going to replace a dedicated hypervisor like prox MOX for instance

00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:39.520
and if you already have a true Nas system that's working perfectly fine it

00:20:37.679 --> 00:20:45.120
doesn't yet support adopting an existing install so it'll require reinstalling

00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:49.640
but hey if you like myself believe in the idea of owning your own data and you

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:53.799
want great Naas software that is actually user friendly like I do and you

00:20:52.280 --> 00:20:58.320
can afford to mess around with it on a spare system the hexos folks and myself

00:20:56.600 --> 00:21:01.919
would love for you to try it out and let them know know what you think if you

00:21:00.320 --> 00:21:06.720
absolutely hate it during the beta you will be able to request a refund within

00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:09.159
30 days and another separate note if

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:14.600
you're a typescript or n developer who loves the idea they're hiring and the

00:21:11.360 --> 00:21:18.080
info will be in the description overall

00:21:14.600 --> 00:21:21.880
hexos takes our $69 NZ up to

00:21:18.080 --> 00:21:24.080
$368 not as nice but what I like is that

00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:28.880
it's an ecosystem you're not locked into and that you can upgrade the hardware if

00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:33.960
you want you can get a better machine or you can beef up your existing one and

00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:38.480
worst case if you don't like hexos or if the company somehow implodes you can

00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:43.320
just disconnect it from the dashboard and you're essentially running traz I

00:21:41.159 --> 00:21:47.480
really hope that doesn't happen but I just wanted to make it clear here that

00:21:44.840 --> 00:21:52.720
there will be options unlike all those users that are running those vulnerable

00:21:49.159 --> 00:21:56.320
dlink nazes that simply will never be

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:59.679
updated to fix it brutal like this

00:21:56.320 --> 00:22:01.400
brutal segue to our sponsor ODU if

00:21:59.679 --> 00:22:05.600
you're running a business keeping track of a hundred different apps running at

00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:09.559
once can be a pain but with odu's all-in-one business management software

00:22:07.360 --> 00:22:14.320
you can combine all of those into one unified operating system that's right no

00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:19.440
more worrying about how well one service syncs with another odu's apps are all

00:22:17.080 --> 00:22:24.000

00:22:55.120 --> 00:23:01.080
enjoyed this video why not check out my last home Naas build I cannot wait to

00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:05.159
try this at my house because I have like some super sick plants I am completely

00:23:03.679 --> 00:23:09.440
out of storage dude me too I'm at like 88% utilized so many Linux hard drives

00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:15.679
are so expensive were you certified though

00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.679
they're still expensive
