Inter-App Communication with External Access through Official iX Apps?

Hello,

I am looking into figuring out the proper way to do inter-app communication in TrueNAS 25.04 while using the official iX Apps, if it is at all possible.

I installed some apps that have their own Web UI, but they also have to communicate with each other. I was able to get them to communicate with each other by putting in the NAS IP along with the PORT that it is exposed to, but of course, I can’t determine the appropriate way to get them to communicate internally to each other while keeping external access.

Is it possible using the official iX applications? Or is this something that will truly need to be done by doing a custom YAML or something of the sort?

I am not 100% sure, but I don’t think the Dragonify YAML would work anymore either, since it’s not on 24.10. I didn’t attempt it, but before trying something that I haven’t found confirmed, I just wanted to ask first.

I would PREFER to keep it as the official iX apps, so it’s easy to see app status and updates, etc.

Thank you for your time.

In that feature request is comment with a link to a script from a community member that afaik establishes inter app communication by internal dns names

@LarsR That’s closed as of Oct 8

well that shows how much i know about the apps from the catalogue xD

Yep, and thats what i mean. I saw that but it looked like only reports of it working in 24.10. I am unsure if there is current support for inter-app communication that is solid, or if there is anything in beta. Thats all.

Im still very new to TrueNAS, so my experience is slim.
