March 13, 201610 yr I have setup a public OpenVPN server on my router. All traffic from the unRaid server IP is going thru this VPN. The problem is the VPN Provider doesn't allow ports to be open for Plex. I would like to put the plex docker image on a separate IP address so it gets bypassed by the VPN. How can I assign a virtual IP address to the Plex docker container.
March 13, 201610 yr Not easy at the moment, might be added in the future.. I was kind of in the same boat and have just setup a VM for running plex, VM's get a different IP address so that solved it for me.
March 13, 201610 yr Author Wood something like this work? http://blog.codeaholics.org/2013/giving-dockerlxc-containers-a-routable-ip-address/ I am scared to try as I am unfamiliar with slackware...
March 13, 201610 yr Same here... You are treading in non-standard and unsupported teritory.. Which is why I created a VM... Standard, easy, works..
March 13, 201610 yr What about using Pipework? http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=43970.0
March 13, 201610 yr Credit goes to archedraft for showing me this... I also have my entire server being tunneled through an OVPN client (on my pfsense box). I was able to get around the port issue you mention by creating an alias that contains the following URLs: my.plexapp.com app.emby.media app.plex.tv I then created a LAN firewall rule to exclude this alias from being pushed through the VPN tunnel (first rule in my list). The second rule is the one the pushes the IP of my unraid server to the VPN. John
