What this script does

Hover or tap a box to see the lines it explains.

  1. Script format

    Tells HexOS this is a version 5 install script, so it knows how to read the rest.

    Line 2

  2. Script revision

    This copy of the script is revision 0.1.0. Latest change: “Auto-generated draft from TrueNAS mkfd 1.1.11”.

    Lines 3–6

  3. Questions you'll be asked

    Before installing, HexOS will ask you for: Passkey. Your answers are slotted into the settings further down wherever you see $QUESTION(...).

    Lines 7–14

  4. Storage locations it needs

    The app uses these HexOS storage locations: App storage (fast). If one isn't set up yet, HexOS will ask you to pick a place for it.

    Line 16

  5. Minimum hardware

    Recommended minimum: 2 CPU cores.

    Line 17

  6. Permission to use your folders

    Allows the app to read and write files inside the storage locations listed above — and nowhere else.

    Line 18

  7. Network ports

    The app needs port 30294 to be free on your server. A port is like an apartment number for your server's address.

    Line 19

  8. Folders created on install

    Creates the folders the app needs before it starts: App storage (fast) › mkfd and App storage (fast) › mkfd › config. Folders marked “snapshot” are included in HexOS snapshots, so you can roll them back.

    Lines 21–28

  9. Your answer: passkey

    Filled in with what you typed for “passkey” when you installed.

    Line 31

  10. Auto-generated cookie secret

    HexOS makes up a long random cookie secret during install. It's only used inside Mkfd, so you never need to know it.

    Line 32

  11. Auto-generated encryption key

    HexOS makes up a long random encryption key during install. It's only used inside Mkfd, so you never need to know it.

    Line 33

  12. Where the app's settings is saved

    Where the app's settings is saved on your server: App storage (fast) › mkfd › config.

    Line 36

  13. Web port: 30294

    The app's web page is published on port 30294. You don't need to remember it — clicking the app's card in HexOS takes you there.

    Line 39

  14. Resource limits

    Caps how much of your server the app can use: 2 CPU cores and 10% of your server's memory, but never more than 4 GB. This keeps one busy app from slowing everything else down.

    Line 41
