TrueNas or Rockstor on Rock 5 ITX

ROCK 5 Series 5 ITX/ITX+
1

Hi,
I plan to build a NAS using Rock 5 ITX. I have a couple of queries before I proceed.

  1. Does this board support installation of other OS like TrueNas or Rockstor .
  2. I saw ITX+ modle on there page with a additional M.2 NVMe instead of sata connections. Is it in production?

Thank you for the replies.

You may want to check if TrueNAS is available for ARM

Yes, True NAS has no arm version, sorryfor my mistake. OMV should be helpful…

As per this video ( I never tried it myself though), you can have ZFS on OMV if that is what you are looking for in TrueNAS. Hope this helps (https://youtu.be/rxEyR30iNt0)

Got it. I will install OMV. Another noon question is, for OMV they suggest to use a minimal install. Does radxa os has a minimal image? As I see that the rsetup utility seems very helpful in SPI and eMMC flash processing. Or is it possible to do it in Armbien too?
