You can certainly run TrueNAS Core or Scale as a VM in Proxmox... caveats are that you need to pass through a whole HBA if you want to host any data you like to keep safe on it. You also won't get a guest agent, so guest functions aren't there.
Since Scale is a close competitor to Proxmox, you may eventually swap it out.

Starting our next Open Source Project - TrueNAS SCALE
Hello TrueNAS and FreeNAS Community, As many of you are aware, TrueNAS 12.0 BETA is soon to be released. It unifies FreeNAS and TrueNAS into a single image and will make maintaining and documenting these releases significantly more efficient. The early testing and reviews have gone very well...

Hi; I have the same question but with another case scenario
I would like to deploy a plain Debian in the cloud and to convert it into a TrueNas SCALE,
like it is possible with from Ubuntu to Zentyal or from Debian to OpenMediaVault.
In the case of Zentyal, you simply add the Zentyal source then call a meta package,
while in the case of OMV you simply call a script which do the job for you.
It is something I could do with TrueNAS ?
If not; it is something in the future, I could expect ?

I don't believe it's possible to convert a vanilla Debian distro into SCALE, because of the TrueNAS middleware. It's not a matter of installing packages or running a script. The middleware takes over all system configuration files and stores them in a SQL database, so it can regenerate them on every boot. Changes can then be made only through the GUI or the REST API or the SCALE-specific CLI. SCALE doesn't have any capability for this sort of takeover. It may be possible in future SCALE releases, but it's not possible currently.
