I haven't tested it, but how good will it work on FreeBSD?

The container image won't run on FreeBSD without some sort of Linux emulation layer (which is what I assume the BSD based NAS platforms use in order to run containers but I've never really looked into it).

The tubesync base software itself is pretty much just Django with a bunch of stuff attached to it, all of which is technically able to run perfectly well under FreeBSD. Setting all of the parts up manually to run under FreeBSD would be a non-trivial amount of work, however. They also will require frequent (potentially weekly) updates to continue to work.

There's a reason the suggested deployment method is a batteries-included container image. You can set up a bunch of rc scripts, configure nginx and wsgi manually and compile ffmpeg etc. then update it yourself regularly if you really want to. You're going to be mostly on your own for that though as I've never ran it on FreeBSD.

Shorter answer would be it's possible, probably don't though.
