Sorry to semi necro, but are you still seeing these issues persist? Like, if I have several plugins to update I can maybe grab a few but then get a returned 127 error and have to resort to a restart.

Thanks for your detailed responses. Like I said, I feel that I have the basics handled. I have a number of images running right now that all function well locally, and Plex is set up properly and shared with friends who actively use it I do realize that Unraid is not a network device, but it does have networking functions to implement within it's own environment. Until a point in time that I physically expand to have more (Like investing in Unifi devices, and maybe more dedicated devices) I'm wanting to understand some basic aspects of more "advanced" networking within the Linux environment as well as just in general so I can keep scaling upwards with that knowledge. You know, the general pitfall of anyone that get's into this hobby to eternal build more and more. My goal, right now, is to keep myself secure, via it be https or otherwise, by the most secure, scalable, and amateur friendly way, while allowing my friends/family who also are a part of at least one share (and maybe more later) ease of access without too many steps; but I need more knowledge on the subject. So like, what I see as the most scalable option is hosting a proxy off of a miniPC on my network. Even then, I can look up a guide on probably best practices, and how to's, but it doesn't give me knowledge that will scale with the experience. Anything I learn will be specific to that environment. So to answer your questions: Yes, lol Right now, I've come across this free course that I may get started with because just staring at youtube all day doesn't help me. https://www.howtonetwork.com/comptia-network-study-guide-free/ Thanks, I will definitely check this out, though I see a lot of crosses with Unifi, I think this may help with general configurations. While this is true, I feel like I don't know what I need until I figure out what I need; so as I said, I'm just lacking the knowledge/experience to just move forward. The CA and available images seems to me always to be set up for people already familiar with them, their applications, and the general environment. So for someone like me, it has always felt like I'm banging my head or throwing darts to find what I actually need to move forward. Can't just type out a task that I want and expect the CA to direct me to the best option, so I want to learn. Like, I had no idea that TRASH guides existed, until I had one particular issue (that I'm embarrassed to talk about) transitioning my -arr stack + Plex over from Windows to Unraid. I figured out from the docs and experimenting what worked best. But I also had no idea the -arr suite existed until I had the question: "What about automation" after 4 years of hosting a Plex server. But I feel like that's all on me and my learning style. I need to do simultaneous tasking, on both reading about a subject and engaging in said subject to absorb it. But I feel like more advanced networking (or at least advanced for me) there isn't a good starting point a lot of time. ----- Again, just a general aspect I'm not familiar with, nor with the network requirements to just get that going. Didn't even know that was an option. I'm using the official Plex MS image. I will definitely look into moving into individualized IP:Mac for a few containers like Plex. Which is some knowledge I was seeking, like is it better to run the nginx container, or to host it on it's own VM. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that hosting it on it's own VM is great and all, but overly complicated for my needs just yet and can be better suited set up on just a container with a macvlan from what I'm reading here.

Hello all, sorry for the probable redundant post, but I haven't been able to find any sort of guide at near basics level. TL;DR, is there a simple network security guide for dumb dumbs like me, that lays out some basics and let's me forge my own way forward? I want to keep it as simple for friends and family as possible, and not having them log in through like tailscale or the like. I'm pretty new to Unraid, but I think I've got my basics handled at the moment. The deficit I have, however, is networking skills. I understand some basics like UPNP/UDP/TCP, have successfully forwarded ports, know not to put my system in the DMZ on my network, and just generally to stay protected. But I'm looking for something that is the most efficient for my needs and probably very basic as it's probably an introduction to networking for the most part for me. ----- I currently have a 48TB array, with 16TB of parity, and a 500GB cache operating on an Zen3 CPU with 32GB of RAM. I have Plex and an array of -arrs going, as well as qbit, watchtower, watchlistarr and cross-seed going. No VMs or remote shares going aside from Plex connections from friends/family. Local shares are just great and enjoying my 2.5Gbs connections between devices on my network, despite having only 1Gb fiber. Right now, the server is just active behind the firewall that is my ISP modem. I have an unmanaged switch that has several consoles, desktops with Windows, TVs and more running through it. No mesh, and all wifi active devices are directly connected to my modem. A stand alone router is on the horizon possibly. The primary purpose, atm, is sharing my Plex media server with friends and family outside of my home network (10 overall, max streams are usually 5-6). This is successfully happening, though without any wireguard or DDNS, or anything in place at this moment (outside of my personal VPN on my desktop) as I'm not too awfully concerned about the data that's there right now and I only pick up things from private areas. IFKYK. Well that and my previous attempts at a reverse proxy were ill met as I don't have a static IP and everything just goes over my head. Local network is just fine, all web connections are functioning just great. But eventually (sooner rather than later) I'm going to have more personal material on my server, phone and PC backups, self-hosted services, home security and automation and more and would like to stay protected. Without experimenting yet, I'm trying to find guidance on the next direction to go. Do I run a VM with nginx? Or is the docker just fine? Is wireguard with a DDNS fine enough for my purposes atm? Should I look into a cheap Pi or miniPC to host a proxy? Or is there just a guide that really breaks some of the basics down for me so I can forge my own path? Appreciate any and all wisdom.

Okay thank you. Though my preferred scenario would be having it mounted via unraid so I can actually power my desktop off instead of always on sharing with those that access my media server. So looking at it, short of formatting the drives in the DAS, it doesn't seem like it's possible to mount in unraid using UD?

It is currently mounted in Win11. Formatted using TM's RAID config (the DAS is a Terramaster DAS box with 5 bays to config in numerous assortments of RAIDs) and is NTFS. More information from Windows and Hard Disk Sentinel below if it provides any context. -- Physical Disk Information - Disk.txt

Hello all and happy holidays, My drive(s) is not showing as mounted/mountable. I am very new to Unraid, and new in general to self hosting beyond keeping and sharing a Plex server on my main desktop the last 6 years. I've worked recently on building out a dedicated server machine for Unraid to start, and then just building up from there. First priority is maintaining my Plex media from a DAS in Raid-5 I set up last year until I can get around to purchasing a 16+TB drive to add to the array. Currently my array consists of just my boot, a USB drive to spin it up (again, until I can procure more drives), an nVME pool for my cache, and finally (hopefully) my DAS. UD and UD+ are both installed, and I've gone through some of the posts on this thread looking for a solution but haven't been able to narrow it down. The goal is to not format the drive until I have something else to move all my media to (~15TB). All I'm getting is the format option under UD, and none of the other characteristic buttons. No mnt/mydisk or whatever the new one is because it isn't mounting. My understanding is that I should be able to read/write my DAS outside of it being a part of the array using UD. I've Uninstalled/reinstalled UD/UD+ Rebooted the system several times Stopped/Started the array several times Refreshed using the refresh icon a few times Enabled destructive mode Enabled auto mount Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! ----- Diagnostic attached with UD enabled for the one run of it. Settings and other screens attached tower-diagnostics-20241225-0756.zip
