APPS on Truenas Scale

Can apps be created in Truenas Scale to make installation easier and run on a web host?

@acenkwaselo-dot Seems Truenas Scale apps are essentially Docker containers. Theoretically we could package the Buzz into a Docker container, but it would not be a web app as Buzz uses QT framework for the GUI. Second problem I see is that Buzz requires quite powerful hardware to work and I am not sure it would be usable on a NAS hardware. Third problem is the testing. I do not have any Truenas devices so testing would be hard.

I have a plan to introduce a feature in Buzz that can let users to start a transcription server easily on some powerful computer in the network, but for this some web frontend should be created to handle the UI. If anyone is interested in creating such frontend, let's collaborate
