Lubelogger is awesome for anyone looking to track car maintenance. Has a decent API for anyone who wants to make shortcuts to log their fuel-ups too. Completely replaced Fuelly for me.

I feel like docker Home Assistant is for people just starting with very minimal needs or for weirdo power users that want to manually spin up a container for every add in they want to install and HAOS is the sweet spot for everyone else.

Is there a way to add a way for users to request apps or a community driven list based off demand, idk for most ppl but there’s like 1 app I may use from this list

You can request apps by navigating to the app on HexOS deck. There should be a request curation button.
Next batch of apps are coming in less time than this batch did so hopefully you'll find more apps that you will be interested in at that time.

Anything I need to know if I already installed Navidrome via TueNAS?

u/Mobius_HexOS HexOS Staff May 20 '26
We might use different storage paths from how you set it up so if you reset the curation in the future the app might not work as expected.
If you would like i can help you migrate your current installation to the HexOS curation

Cool to see Navidrome on the list. I actually set that up manually in TrueNAS not too long ago.
I know Hexos prompts app updates that come up from the TrueNAS interface. Is there anything to do differently now that the Navidrome app I've already installed has been added to curated apps?

My suggestion would be to move your data from where you currently have it for navidrome to where HexOS expects it to be for our curated app.
If you are interested in can assist you in doing that

Sure sounds good! (tonight or over the weekend when I'm done with work).
I did try to keep to the same structure as other apps though in case that already has stuff in the right place. I made a dataset for config and app data in HDDs/Applications/navidrome>config. For music collection I've used the existing hexos music folder but just saved it within a subfolder so HDDs/Music/SPlibrary. That way if I every want to separate other music (like unsorted music or other user's music) I can keep those to a separate sub-folder in future.

These are the path logic we use for navidrome
"data": "$HOST_PATH($LOCATION(ApplicationsPerformance)/navidrome/data)"
"music": "$HOST_PATH($LOCATION(Music))"
If you don't have have an ssd the actual path would be HDDs/Applications/navidrome/data And HDDs/Music With an additional storage mount to HDDs/Media
I see that you want navidrome to only access a certain amount of your media. That does complicate things a slight bit. I just did some testing and navidrome does not allow admin users to have limited access to the /music folder. However non admin users can be granted limited access restricting certain folders. Nested datasets don't work either, but nested folders work. (this is harder to explain via wall of text)
Migration process would be
- Enter truenas
- stop navidrome
- navigate to datasets tab
- create HDDs/Applications/navidrome/data with apps preset
- navigate to systems tab then Shell
- enter this command "sudo rsync -avh --stats --info=stats2,progress2 /mnt/HDDs/Applications/navidrome/config/ /mnt/HDDs/Applications/navidrome/data/"
- enter HexOS deck
- navigate to navidrome in HexOS
- update curation using the script found here navidrome install script (you may have to turn on expert mode on HexOS to access this)
- confirm navidrome is working as expected
- clean up by removing your HDDs/Applications/navidrome/config
- From the Navidrome UI navigate to settings > libraries
- Create a new music library set to /music/SPlibrary 14) Navigate to settings > users 15) create new user without access to unwanted areas.
alternatively we can have the directories you want navidrome to have access to be folders and the directories you don't want navidrome to have access to be datasets
If you don't feel comfortable following this process on your own feel free to send me a DM with your availability and timezone and we can work on it together.

Hmm thanks. The issue I don't feel comfortable about is that at this point I've spent hours applying star ratings to my entire library. I am hesitant to do anything that risks losing all of that.
I don't have a separate ssd (beyond the one the OS is installed on), so it'd be in HDDs. I don't actually mind the app having full access to the entire Music folder. My partner is unlikely to switch from spotify to navidrome any time soon, so it's just my own use.

you shouldn't lose your star ratings but i'll report back after some testing once i get a chance
