This is disappointing:

    "Note that this project is supported on all major operating systems except FreeBSD, which is still incompatible."
Considering both Plex and Emby support FreeBSD, I'm sad to to learn that Jellyfin does not.

Is FreeBSD support really something worth worrying about? Perhaps it's also disappointing that Jellyfin doesn't run on AmigaOS?

In my case, I'm running FreeNAS/TrueNAS for storage and a Plex jail. I'd imagine there are a number of people in the same boat considering the popularity of TrueNAS.

TrueNAS Scale is Debian-based. It's easy to migrate from Core to Scale [0]. You do lose your jails but there's both an official Plex chart for the underlying k3s, and a community-supported one in TrueCharts [1].

There's a Jellyfin chart on TrueCharts as well.

TrueNAS is a pretty small niche, no? Not only that, but the usual way of using NAS involves doing compute tasks on a separate server.

Besides, the FreeBSD based TrueNAS Core will almost certainly be deprecated and replaced with Linux based TrueNAS Scale within the nest couple of years. Further strengthening the idea that this is a pointless platform to support.
