These providers do that because they think it would be very hard or even impossible to give support to a NAS with an OS that the user can freely modify. Therefore, you could try TrueNAS <https://www.truenas.com/>, which is based on FreeBSD, or build your own (e.g.) <https://www.servethehome.com/buyers-guides/top-hardware-components-for-truenas-core-servers/>. There are a lot of recipes also on YouTube. You can usually also erase proprietary NAS' OS and install TrueNAS. But returning to the main thread, I still think the best solution for Phil's situation would be to use a NAS built-in virtualization capabilities. I hope he has success anyways.
This entire discussion is starting to become moot because I am increasingly discovering that the QNAS unit is so terribly, horribly, appallingly buggy and crippled and broken that I'm beginning to doubt how I can possibly in any good conscience use it. It feels as though I would just be storing up years of daily headaches, and I'm looking for alternatives that I have full control over.
I did consider completely wiping the thing and installing either Gentoo Linux or Solaris x86. But I hesitate to do that on a brand new unit still under warranty.
