App shell in TrueNAS Scale

Apps and Virtualization
1

I’ve been trying to troubleshoot some issues with wg-easy using this post from the old TrueNAS forum.

The author, who I don’t think has come over to the new forum, mentions this as a prerequisite for some troubleshooting: “Go into the wg-easy shell”

anyone able to explain how to do this?
I can get into the regular TrueNAS shell. (main page → System → Shell)

however I don’t know how to open the wg-easy shell. the screenshots of people showing output show a shell beginning with /app

would anyone be able to explain how to get to this shell?
i’ve googled all over but i must be missing something obvious. thanks in advance!

Well, i’ll answer my own question. this was very easy, just not super obvious.

When you select the wg-easy app in the TrueNAS app listing (just select it; don’t edit) there is a “workloads” section under the Details pane.

under workloads, there is a prompt icon that says “shell” if you hover over it.
Click on this icon, and it will come up with a window that says “Commands*”
I originally thought this was just giving you the path to open a shell in general, so i cancelled. but if you click “choose”, it will open a separate shell, which is what I was hunting.
