What is missing for Sonic feature to work on Freebsd based os?

Hi fellow Plexian,

My post is more of a dev question than anything else. Can we know precisely what prevents having the sonic function on Freebsd-based systems such as truenas?

Is there anything being done for deploying this feature to freebsd-based systems in the future?

Thank

To be clear, that’s just a guess. I don’t have any inside info. :slight_smile:

TensorFlow (incl Bazel) is already available on FreeBSD

Would be great to get some official word, with a why, for BSD based systems. I have run Plexserver native Linux in VM’s and in Docker, and running it in FreeBSD Jail on TrueNAS is by far the best option for me. I realized this might be a subjective argument. So, do I bite the bullet and go back using Docker in a VM on my TrueNAS, and abandon running right in a Jail as a supported TrueNAS plugin?

Its not clear if/when this would be supported on BSD and why not. Is this a feature delay for BSD, or will it never be supported and why? Thanks.

That’s TensorFlow v1.

It looks like there’s progress on getting v2 into FreeBSD Ports, and some changes for Bazel buildability recently too. I doubt Plex uses the ports directly but it’s very encouraging.

My fingers are crossed!

I’m in the same boat. But with Truenas scale, I might just wait until it gets out of beta and install it over Truenas 12, so I don’t have to move everything to docker.

it looks like that scale is quite slow (for now)
