Allow apps to have their own IP

Wait, wasn’t this already accepted?

[Accepted] Add "Bind IP Address" to app "port" selection UIs

There is no way to bind an app’s port mapping to a specific IP address in Electric Eel beta. If an IP Alias is added to an interface, then that IP Alias can be used when configuring port mapping in raw docker-compose. eg: ports: - 192.168.0.40:80:80 Will bind port 80 on the host’s 192.168.0.40 IP alias to port 80 in the container. Of course, for the above to work, the TrueNAS UI must first be bound to a specific IP instead of 0.0.0.0 Similarly, docker will bind to 0.0.0.0 by default,…

It’s a simpler thing to provide which accomplishes much of what’s desired.

The key difference is “allow app to have its own ip” vs “allow app to bind to a specific ip alias on the host”

Ideally, TrueNAS should also support creating, utilizing macvlan ips with apps, which is more or less what this request is for.
