I have another question, if I am running an Ark server is thisbonly visible on PC or is it able to show up on ps5 also? Or would there need to be different ports for that?

I have the internal port for the container set to 7777 and another port for 27015. For the host port can it be different or does it have to be the same. The only reason for changing the port number is just it is more privacy on my side and not as easy to find out what port the server is running on and ect. As far as do I have to, no I don't. But just want to know if I would point the router to the host port is all. My misunderstanding was which port in the container I point the router port forwarding towards. I now know that the fixed port internal to the container is the one that the host port points to. Sorry to be a pain lol.

Okay, I will take a look at that when I get off work then. Thanks!

Does that use https?

I more so am looking for what port to put in the router for the port forwarding. Like you have the container port number that cannot be changed unless you delete the port in the docker settings. Then there is another port that will let me change it with out deleting it. The second port would be my port I point the port fowarding to. I'm not able to log on to the unraid server ATM as I'm at work. I'd give more details if I had access to the server. Lol, I apologize for all the questions.

Okay, and the ports for the server. I can make the container ports a different number right? Other than the fixed container ports which are I'm assuming internal to the docker. But the one that can be changes is external. And I would specify the external port number say IP x.x.x.x:7679 but the fixed port being 7777 for container.

For the way I have my setup I would have to choose between running the ark server or using ad guard as a DHCP server. Reason being, I have my Ad Guard and the Ark server on the same device. My router doesn't allow me to configure the DNS server it is set as a default to their DNS server and can't be modified to be the Ad Guard IP address. So, I was using the Ad Guard as a DHCP server. The problem ends up being, while having the DHCP server setup the IP address is associated through Ad Guard. I guess technically I should still be able to though since it would still be assigned to the same Gateway, right? I haven't really gotten to test it yet. When I get my next check I plan to get some more memory to actually see if it is possible. Forgive me I am new to all this currently studying A+ and working on a bachelor's degree in cyber security and information assurance. The router I have doesn't really provide the best configuration details. I have an AT&T router.

Okay, that is what I thought thank you for clarifying. I guess I will end up having to choose between running the server or having Ad Guard. Probably will choose the server. Lol

Hello, I have a bit of an odd question and not sure if there is anyway around it. I haven't even really gotten to test anything yet as I am waiting for a RAM upgrade (currently only have 8GB). So, this is my first time really messing with any kind of server or unraid os. I have an Ad Guard home setup as a DHCP server (my router is an isp router that won't let me add a DNS server). Would I still be able to host an Ark Ascended server from this same machine? I ask because with me having the actual server on the DHCP server, I have no way of adding the port forwarding at least that I am aware of. Does anyone know if this is a problem or is it possible to run this way? I can't really test to see if it works until I get more RAM anyways, but still wanted to add a post just to see if anyone had anything to add to maybe help out a newbie lol.
