NIC for Apps like containers do

Apps and Virtualization
1

I’m looking for a way to have App use virtual NIC similar to what containers do. How Can I do that?

2

Custom app or apps from the catalogue?

3

From catalogue.

4

I believe apps from the catalogue can’t be told to use a specific interface.

5

It would be an useful option, for separating traffic from an app without separating traffic from whole host.

6

The Problem is still that truenas only uses one interface for the default route, so all traffic to the web will still go over the default route and not the second nic

7

I’m not sure that applies. Docker can do virtual NICs, so host routing would not matter.

I think this is the same thing I am trying to do but if someone can confirm that would be great.

All of my TrueNAS traffic goes through a bridge interface. This way, all my VMs have there own local IPs despite going through the same port as the TrueNAS GUI.

I want to assign certain apps to bridge too instead of having them as ports on the management IP.

Is this at all possible?

You’re propably looking at per app ip adressing like this

That looks like what I need, though it does not seem to work properly. I’ll start a more focused thread.
