Virtualizing Truenas is not uncommon but usually this involves a setting like Proxmox on X86 with some kind of HBA card with pairs of sata or sas disks then a pci pass-through so Truenas can do its ZFS magic with the disks.
Do you think of a way to mimic that with a mac mini, UTM and 2 usb-c disks ?
Of course this wont be a very robust, production-ready server, but could be nice as a super-cheap and easy to set up rig for testing, educational or dev purposes...

Hi !
There is an experimental port of Truenas on arm64 (see https://forums.truenas.com/t/truenas-on-arm-now-available/49160). It seems to boot very nicely on UTM on a base mac mini M4 and is surprisingly responsive.
