does anyone with any actual knowledge of how FreeNAS comes up tell me if FreeNAS requires an IP or the webGUI to come up (thus, needing an IP first) before the VMs are launched?
Has anyone run a VM of dd-wrt to function as their router inside of a FreeNAS VM? I guess I could have been a little clearer in asking: that being said, I didn't ask about PFSense.Ĩ) garm, please let anyone you ever work for know that your best solution to a problem is to velcro another machine inside of something else to skip any of the possible hard work in making a system work the way you or they want it to. hell, for what I am looking for, dd-WRT is slight overkill, I could, in theory, run the DHCP server from an Ubuntu VM that already runs on my FreeNAS. while I realize I didn't flat out say that in the initial question, it all sort of leads one to be able to cobble that together.Ħ) Why is it bad to ask questions before trying?ħ) Why recommend against dd-wrt versus using something like PfSense? PfSense tends to be a bit overkill. Has anyone run dd-wrt from a FreeNAS VM, or any DHCP machine from a FreeNAS.ĥ) I am gathering information in regards to actually running dd-wrt from a FreeNAS VM. IP before VM or VM before IP?Ĥ) The initial question was somewhat pretty straightforward. maybe I should have been a little more specific in what kind of responses I was looking for.ġ) I am aware that a static IP for a server is a best practice.Ģ) The question I posed wasn't about should I have a static IP or allow my machine to pick up an IP assigned by a DHCP server.ģ) "Also, certain services need the IP address to be able to start, so that needs to happen before some other things can happen." doesn't actually answer the question about in what order things are brought up in FreeNAS.

The three pools in this one system represent the three NAS systems I had before the consolidation. I have even put together some hardware just to test things out a time or two.įor a while I had three systems, all at once, at home but I am making some hardware changes right now and only one NAS is online. I made some mistakes along the way, learned some and I try to share some of those lessons learned experiences here in the forum. This is the 8th FreeNAS unit I have built for home. This one was built in 2018, but I reused the name from a previous build.
