Are there any FOSS NAS servers for a Marvell arm SOC? (self.selfhosting)

Fujitsu abandoned their Celvin NAS customers. The proprietary software is over 10 years old. And worse, Fujitsu had an app store to get apps that were not part of the stock stock distro, like a bittorrent app, which are no longer reachable.

The hardware uses a Marvell arm SOC. FreeNAS is x86 only. QNAP has some fairly recent distros that may be compatible. It’s proprietary and perhaps somewhat risky. What are the chances that a QNAP image from 2024 bricks my Fujitsu from 2013?

Is QNAP my only option, or is there a FOSS option? There are at least 15 FOSS NAS platforms:

but I have no idea if any are built for a Marvell arm SOC. Anyone know?

If you can get Debian or Rocky Linux on it, you can likely manage all of the NAS-like stuff with Cockpit.
