More likely to work with a Linux VM than a jail. In a jail you would need a freeBSD port of Omada management software.

Yeah, I know I can get it in a Linux VM. A Jail is more efficient though right? So if I can get it to run in a jail it would seem that would be more desirable. That said, if I cannot, then yes, I may have to setup a Linux VM. I am just trying to avoid that if possible.

I’m very interested which was the right solution for you? I’m thinking to buy TP-LINK Access Points and to use the TP-Link Omada software on my Freenas. I’m not a Linux expert so every hint will help me how to set up the software. Do you had any problems during the installation?

Yes. Although the headaches you will create running software on Devuan versus a Debian VM might make it worthwhile to give up the RAM and CPU cycles.

@purschi I tried for a few hours and abandoned it in favor of an Ubuntu VM. I had trouble finding an older version of the Omada controller before they instituted the OS check. I also considered looking into overriding that class/method, but I just didn't want to invest the time right now.

@sretalla yeah, this was what I was trying to avoid but in the end I setup Ubuntu LTS on a Behyve VM.
