I don't have FreeNAS (I use unRaid), but can't you run Kodi headless with Docker on your NAS?

You can try it is, however, the opposite of fun...

And, IIRC, currently Leia breaks if you use older methods to achieve heedlessness... (unless you mean simply running without a monitor attached... but then it's still a resource hog from generating the GUI).

The Pis are ultra low power... even the Pi3 B+ comes in under (heavy load) 700mA... meaning, I can run it off of a very small battery backup for about 90 minutes (think, portable cellphone charger) and a USB outlet during normal use... And shit, at 1/100 the usage of even a low end laptop, I can run several of them 24/7 for pennies a day... I have the hardware, so there isn't any real overhead...
