FreeNAS is linux distro with a friendly NAS UI: https://freenas.org/ https://freenas.org/ - but still linux, so you get all the usual linux stuff - docker, full VMs, etc...

FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD, not the Linux kernel. It's from a completely different lineage of operating systems.

As mentioned in another comment, FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD and they dropped Linux/Docker compatibility, and full VMs are less similar to other platforms. If I did FreeNAS, it would be in a VM with the drives mapped to the VM.

  Ooops, I thought it was Linux, sorry!
