Installing Home Assistant on TrueNAS Scale VM

I have one VM configured which has the IP Address 192.168.97.199 and its runnning on my TrueNAS which is 192.168.97.19. I am able to ping google etc from the VM but i cant seem to ping 192.168.97.19 (TrueNAS).

I created a bridged network, br0 and added my NIC to it then assigned br0 to my VM

I cant figure out a step that i might have missed…so trying my luck here




I’m unsure if it works the way you currently have it. I think your interface enp5s0 should not have any IP address, and your bridge should have a static IP set. So the IP for your bridge should be 192.168.97.19 if that is your desired TrueNAS address.

Basically, you are moving the IP address from enp5s0 to your bridge. The interface should still be assigned to the bridge, as you have it.

I’ve seen several posts to help explain the exact steps, here is the one I followed.

In any case, you’ll reach TrueNAS using the bridge IP from Home Assistant.
