Never run a public facing thing like forum software on your unraid server. That's just asking for perpetual trouble.

 

Look at Xenforo for general requirements to run a forum. Look at Cloudflare to be one layer of protection before your forum server.

 

Typically you need a SQL database (mariaDB) then a web server (nginx) then the language for the software (php) then the actual forum software and license (Xenforo) and then you need a lot of time to run it.

 

Most importantly you need to keep on top of it all from a security perspective beyond just applying software updates, you need to harden your server. You will be targets of hacks and malware and denial of service attacks.
