Hi everyone,
I’m looking to better understand the recent changes to Apps in TrueNAS Scale and determine whether my desired setup is feasible. Currently, the apps can be assigned their IP, but due to a bug, ports aren’t allowed to overlap despite being on separate IPs eg 80/443.
Goal: I’d like to have apps function similarly to jails in TrueNAS Core. I want all my apps to host their web interface on 80/443. Furthermore, I’d like to VPN traffic of that specific IP regardless of port at the router level.
Current Understanding: After researching, it seems that achieving this behaviour may require the use of MACVLANs. However, I’d appreciate further insights from the community regarding:
- How MACVLANs work in the context of TrueNAS Scale. Will it be added to Scale in the future?
- Whether they would provide the level of isolation and network control that jails offer in Core.
Really appreciate it for those who know better to explain things to me. Also curiously am I the only one who had this misconception about the new IP’s for apps?
If anyone has experience with this approach or alternative solutions, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!
