My TrueNAS SCALE is a VM that runs on ESXi. A lot of PCIe devices were passthrough to this VM.Install a VM and use that as you see fit.
I have considered using jail or container which can provide the software I needed. However, the memory management of TrueNAS SCALE, or OpenZFS on Linux, is not very robust. Linux VFS subsystem and ZFS arc have many similar functionalities. Without adjustment of zfs_max_arc, ARC can only utilize half of my 512GB memory which is unacceptable. Under this situation, I don't want to run a container with
--daemon
on my back machine.
