File Browser

One of our most requested features is here. You can now manage your files without ever leaving Command Deck.

• Browse, inspect, and manage files on your server directly from Command Deck with a two-pane layout and details panel
• Switch between icon and list view modes
• Copy, move, delete, and rename files and folders with tracked progress and per-file transfer notifications
• Upload and download files directly to your NAS when on Local (this works over VPN connections as well, just not through the hosted Command Deck)
• Drag-and-drop upload support with bulk batching
• Download files from the internet directly to your server with optional checksum verification
• Shift-click range selection and Ctrl/Cmd-click toggle selection for managing multiple files at once
• Burn ISO files directly to USB devices attached to your server with verified writes and step-by-step progress tracking (Local connection required)

Apps

• First-boot-only install questions are now hidden from app Options after initial setup, keeping the settings view clean
• App update notifications are now grouped by day with the date each update was first detected
• Newly curated apps now appear newest-first in the catalog
• App version display now shows both the app version and TrueNAS catalog version

Storage

• Cache, log, special, and dedup vdev members are now correctly assigned to their pool instead of appearing as unused drives

Reliability

• DNS rebind protection detection: if your router is blocking Command Deck from reaching your server, HexOS now detects this and notifies you with guidance on how to fix it
• Improved hosted-mode banner: Return to Local is disabled until the local Command Deck is confirmed reachable

NOTE: All of these updates are applied automatically to your Command Deck. You may need to clear your cache. Help with clearing your cache is available here.

If your storage environment includes drives of different sizes, you already know that traditional RAID-Z can’t fully utilize available capacity. This session takes a closer look at how  AnyRAID handles mixed-drive pools differently, where it delivers real gains, and what to weigh before you deploy.

​

Allan Jude (Klara) and Jon Panozzo (HexOS) will walk through the architecture and take your questions live.
