I use ESPHome in a Home Assistant VMware VM and everything works perfectly. I have now installed the ESPHome app in TrueNAS Scale and although I can add an ESP32 module, edit the yaml code, compile and download the .bin and upload to the module via USB, the module on the Web UI page is always offline. I assume I have a config setting wrong but can’t find any documentation for the app. Any suggestions welcome.

I had this same issue. I added a manual IP to the code to get it to work properly.
if you know the IP of your device just add:
Example configuration entry
wifi:
ssid: MyHomeNetwork
password: VerySafePassword
Optional manual IP
manual_ip:
static_ip: 192.168.x.xxx
gateway: 192.168.0.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0
to your yaml config. Swapping the x for whatever the ip of your device is on your router. you can also set it manually, but this allowed me to connect without reuploading via usb.
Hope this helps!
