mrbilky Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I was a member on a fishing forum and the owner decided to shut it down I would like to try my hand at it, is there anyone using their unRAID box to run a web forum? If so what does it entail is there a docker app or something that would assist? Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
