Raspberry Pi HexOS NAS?

Hey all! I’m currently trying to set up a relatively inexpensive NAS, and had the idea to use a Raspberry Pi as the base compute unit, running a HexOS instance. Is that at all possible, or am I dreaming? Would love to know how to do this or alternatives!

My proudest achievement was being awarded "Most likely to talk about how Linux is the best operating system while mainly using an Apple Laptop" by peers in a community robotics league.

My least proud achievement was being awarded "Least likely to actually know what a command actually does in the terminal (Linux edition)" by the same group of peers.

Sadly this is not possible as hexos is actually running truenas under the hood and giving you a pretty interface. The truenas part (where all the storage stuff actually happens) does not support raspberry pi and is very unlikely to in the future as they are focused on big enterprise customers who are not running their storage off a raspberry pi. As for alternatives, I know there are some, I've heard of openmediavault and casaos but I don't know which is good as I use truenas.
