Per APP IP Configuration

I’ve been struggling to try to get the per app IP addressing working. I did some research, then consulted AI, then checked its cited sources and I’m still not 100% confident that I have it correct, so I wanted to see if people here can point out errors in my approach.

The outline is this:

  1. Remove the current IP address alias from the NIC
  2. Create a bridge interface bound to the NIC
  3. Add an alias for the desired IP address of TrueNAS to the bridge
  4. Add an alias on the bridge for each of my apps I want to have a unique IP
  5. Go to each app and assign the IP address

Strictly that’s how it works but I did it before the bridge step and assigned aliases direct to the nic. It doesn’t seem right though, some port forwards fail for me and one app needed to be bound to the host instead of just aliased. Solution is a little unusual I think.

Thanks for the info! I did try to add the alias to the NIC but that seemed to not work.

Seems like I made a mistake on my 1st try. I tried again to add another alias to the NIC and it worked. :flushed:
