About this video
Learn how to run Docker apps on TrueNAS like a pro - with full control, clean YAML, and no extra dashboards. This pattern also allows you to use docker networks and even assign dedicated IPs to containers using macvlan!
Have questions or a different setup that works for you? Leave a comment, I'd love to hear how others are running Docker on TrueNAS.
