iocage-homeassistant VS homeassistant

Way back when, if you installed HA Core as a TrueNAS CORE Community Plugin, hopefully you followed these instructions to store your homeassistant_config directory to an external dataset. It will make your migration will be pretty easy.

Home Assistant

That leaves the Home Assistant Core installation option. TrueNAS has a community plugin that will take care of the jail setup and installation. You can find it from the plugins page in TrueNAS after changing the collection from iXsystems to Community. Here's a thread about the plugin, instructions for storing the data outside the jail, and instructions for setting up an SMB share for the HA data. (I don't like how the SMB instructions make the share readable by anyone. I'd suggest not checking the read-only option and replacing the write list=@homeassistant auxiliary parameter with valid users=@homeassistant so that only members of the homeassistant group have access.)

I'm one of the repositories listed. I've automated more things than I can count at this point. If you can dream it, it can be automated in an overly complicated way.

My problem is I do have IoT devices I want on a separate VLAN, and I mean a lot of them. I have everything so integrated that by moving Sonos to the primary VLAN now I need more holes for the Amazon Echos, my Home Assistant Server, and so forth. It was actually easier in my case to keep the Sonos on a separate VLAN. I installed PIM on my USG to really get it to all work properly and it does work fairly seamlessly now and I have the firewall locked down pretty tight.
