Do you think TrueNas could work on it ?

Thanks

Hello,
Core and Scale hardware guide says that the you need "2-Core Intel 64-Bit or AMD x86_64 processor"
https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/gettingstarted/scalehardwareguide/
https://www.truenas.com/docs/core/gettingstarted/corehardwareguide/
The processor of CM3588 is "Rockchip RK3588 processor" (ARM) so I don't think it will work with TrueNas.
Best Regards,
Antonio

It most definitely will not, as @Tony-1971 said.

So so sad :(
It would have been perfect

Thanks for the answers :)

you could build a Linux distribution up to offer ZFS? It wouldn’t be TrueNAS, a lot could go wrong badly, have some really good backups, I guess.

I think the obvious best idea would be to install a Linux distro. Then install VirtualBox using your distro's package manager. Then install TrueNAS inside a VirtualBox VM. That should hopefully get around the issue of the lack of support for ARM processors.

I believe FreeBSD on ARM also supports ZFS and is probably going to be a bit more stable.

From the link in the first post, the manufacturer proposes an OpenMediaVault image for this device. Here is your Linux-based NAS appliance OS.

I can confirm that at least on an RPi compute module 3+ FreeBSD 14.0 runs orders of magnitude more stable than Raspberry Pi OS (Debian).
