This VLAN is set up as `br23` on my TrueNAS. +It uses the IP range `192.168.23.1/24`. + +Back in the TrueNAS Core days, we could easily route FreeBSD Jails through a single interface, in the web UI. +We could even use DHCP. TrueNAS Scale does away with Jails and uses docker instead. +In docker we can do something similar with `macvlan`s to allow our containers to get a new IP address routing +through a given network. Unfortunately we can't get DHCP addresses from our router, everything has to be set +to static. + +Sadly, as of TrueNAS Scale Electric Eel, and apparently Fangtooth too, this is not possible in the web UI. +[Which has annoyed a lot of people.](https://forums.truenas.com/t/allow-apps-to-have-their-own-ip/12042) +This is how I have achieved it, using docker-compose. + |
