However, Linux and FreeBSD are Open Source and more friendly for Community participation. So you are welcome to write an installer for FreeBSD/TrueNAS.  
We already have an installer for Linux (Debian-based): [[Tech Preview] Linux Installer Part 2](https://forum.storj.io/t/tech-preview-linux-installer-part-2/13976)

The main problem of other OSes - no uniform installer, even within a Linux ecosystem there are at least two major package systems (but in reality - any distro have an own implementation). This is a nightmare to support all of them.
