Using VLAN interfaces/bridges for Truecharts Apps

Hey all!

Long time listener first time caller, I’m currently in the process of migrating my homelab from a mix of services running on proxmox/bare metal windows all to TrueNAS Scale. My problem that I’m running into is that my setup relies 2 things that I’m finding Truecharts/TrueNAS apps difficult to make work with, I used different VLANs/subnets as DMZs for different internet accessible services, including one subnet which routes to the internet via an OpenVPN tunnel to a VPN provider on my Opnsense firewall. Additionally, all of my media is stored on my QNAP NAS and accessed via SMB shares which I hoped to maintain. I’ve read some guides on using MetalLB to manage the inbound traffic this way, but I’m not sure it will work for the outbound traffic as I need certain apps to go outbound in certain subnets.

At this point I’m unsure if my best bet is just to use docker containers in TrueNAS and build the apps manually attached the bridge interfaces for the VLANs, but I was hoping to use the Truecharts apps to keep automatic updates for easier management long term.

Let me know if there’s any additional information I can provide!

I haven"t any experience with True Nas Scale or True Nas Core ; have a phone call meeting with there local representative, for purchaseing one of their appliances, could add your question to my list of questions. I know @ChrisA had some problems with setting up True Nas Scale. Maybe hhe can be of more help.

Could you link the guide you used to try setting up what you are trying to do, maybe I can figure out your problem. What are the two things you can,t figure out how to make happen with the True Nas apps? What are the two internet services you can not get eorking with the True Nas spps?

Thanks @Shadowbane , and welcome @skuhx !

Sadly I don’t think I can be of much assistance, I do think you might be asking too much of Scale. I’ve used it for far simpler things and find there are quirks to apps. I do wonder if the portainer route might be better for you?

Very best of luck to you all the same!

Appreciate the comments! I’ll look into the Portainer route and possibly just go back to Proxmox.
