So I'm on my first NAS attempt and to say I am hitting issues is a major understatement.  Long story short, I was on Unraid 6.12 and nothing went right for me.  Got Gluetun, Deluge and Tailscale installed and it all went to hell when I tried to install Pihole.  Ports were conflicting or something.  Removed Pihole, but then my VPN was acting up, would not allow any traffic to deluge.  I got frustrated and removed it all and updated to Unraid 7. At this point I only have Krusader and Tailscale installed. I want to install a VPN client, Torrenting client and the ARR suite.  Would also like to incorporate a way to backup our phone's pics and vids (Apple and Android).  Any advice on what programs would work best with Unraid 7 and what to do when I inevitably run into port issues.  Thanks

Any instructions on setting up said programs would be a much welcome bonus.

Pihole can't be installed with urnaid's VM Manager running due to it also using port 53 (the DNS port) which means you gotta turn VM manager off entirely. I haven't setup pihole on my server in a while but also using a custom IP would eliminate the port confict but understand the host machine has no access to it unless you enable "Host access to custom IP" in the docker settings.

 

From a user standpoint not much really changed between 6.12 and 7.0 except tighter tailscale and ZFS integration.

 

The Immich docker and postgres_immich dockers are what you need if you want to setup immich for photo backups. It's arguably the best for what it does.

 

Port conflicts just need to be worked out on a docker by docker basis. If a docker or unraid is using port 80, then you gotta change the new docker to use a different port like 81.

 

Spaceinvaderone on youtube has loads of tutorials on how to setup and use unraid and various popular dockers. I recommend watching them if you're new at this.
