Unraid: If I install NGINX Port Manager, all apps going through OpenVPN-Client suddenly start mapping 443>443 and 80>80 (app to host).

I am not a networking expert, so please forgive any poor or unclear terminology here . . .

My recently built Unraid Plex/Arr box works great, but I would like to set up NGINX Proxy Mgr and reverse proxy. My current challenge is that when I install NPM, all of a sudden all of my Arr apps, which are set to network though OpenVPN-Client, start mapping 443>443 and 80>80 (app to host).

Sonarr, Radarr, Readarr, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Bazarr, Requestrr all have app-to-host mappings like this, when NPM is installed:

Network: container:OpenVPN-Client

Port Mappings:

10.0.1.99:443/TCP10.0.1.99:443

10.0.1.99:80/TCP10.0.1.99:80

10.0.1.99:81/TCP10.0.1.99:81

My OpenVPN-Client app-to-host mappings don’t include either port, which makes this doubly confusing:

172.17.0.2:3579/TCP10.0.1.23:3579

172.17.0.2:4545/TCP10.0.1.23:4545

172.17.0.2:6767/TCP10.0.1.23:6767

172.17.0.2:6789/TCP10.0.1.23:6789

172.17.0.2:6881/TCP10.0.1.23:6881

172.17.0.2:6881/UDP10.0.1.23:6881

172.17.0.2:7878/TCP10.0.1.23:7878

172.17.0.2:8080/TCP10.0.1.23:8080

172.17.0.2:8191/TCP10.0.1.23:8191

172.17.0.2:8989/TCP10.0.1.23:8989

172.17.0.2:9696/TCP10.0.1.23:9696

NGINX Proxy Manager network and mappings:

Network: br0

Port Mappings (App to Host):

10.0.1.99:443/TCP10.0.1.99:443

10.0.1.99:80/TCP10.0.1.99:80

10.0.1.99:81/TCP10.0.1.99:81

And, when I remove NPM, everything goes back to normal and works fine, with no app-to-host mappings showing up for Arr apps in the main Docker view.

What dumb thing have I done?

That was very helpful, thanks!

Only problem I have left is getting NGINX Reverse Proxy Manager set up, so that I can offer Overseerr webpage. The Let’s Encrypt cert generator keeps throwing an internal error at the last step. Something is preventing LE from reaching my server, and I’m too clueless to solve at this point.

OpenVPN-Client is running normally, per its logs and ifconfig.me. The vpn.ovpn and vpn.auth files are working properly.

In the Extra Parameters field of Deluge template I have added: –net=container:OpenVPN-Client

In OpenVPN-Client template:

 - Network Type is set to None
 - I have added a port record: Host Port 8112 and Container Port 6881

Deluge’s WebUI won’t load at all. I tried qBittorrent instead, using the same approach as above, and it won’t load the WebUI either.

I don’t see as nearly as many used ThinkCentre Tinys for sale with post 7th gen chips. I wonder if this is why.

ChrisLicht@lemm.ee · 3 years

QuickSync is available on earlier gen machines. I have 7th gen with it.

ChrisLicht@lemm.ee · 3 years

Hey, thanks so much for following up! I was very happy to stumble into good fortune here :-)

ChrisLicht@lemm.ee · 3 years

Thank you!

ChrisLicht@lemm.ee · 3 years

Oh, I got lucky then. I thought it was only 8th gen onward, based on another user’s comment. Is there a name for the gpu tech, so I can look it up?

ChrisLicht@lemm.ee · 3 years

I bought Plex Pass lifetime about 5 years ago, so will go hunting for that setting, thanks!

And it works on 7th gen Intel chips?

ChrisLicht@lemm.ee · 3 years

Is that a client setting or Plex server setting? I haven’t noticed it before.

ChrisLicht@lemm.ee · 3 years

You are a godsend. Thank for you for the really cogent advice. Setting up Unraid now.

ChrisLicht@lemm.ee · 3 years

Thank you! Am I going to run into transcoding issues with 7th gen i5 on several streams? I only have six users, and all but one of them have modern Roku or Apple TV devices.

Oh, and should I use the 258GB M.2 already in the box for the config and database, or use the 2TB 970 EVO SSD?

For a couple of years, I have been serving Plex to a few friends and family from an NVIDIA Shield Pro on a gigabit fiber. Before that, I served from a Raspberry Pi.

I have basic Linux skills, and my dream is to build a more automated setup. Unraid OS with Plex and -arr apps looks great to a non-expert like me.

So, I just picked up an unmolested original Lenovo ThinkCentre M710Q 7500T with 16GB RAM, and a 256GB M.2. I have a spare 2.5" 2TB Samsung EVO 970 SSD that I could put in it; I also have a 3.5" WD Red 4TB external HDD.

Here are my questions:

Do I need more RAM to be able to serve four 1080 streams at once?
Should I use the SSD or HDD, or both?
Any other advice or suggestions? It’s appreciated!

We can’t be far from the first wave of uniquely targeted scam ads with faked photos/audio/video of the user’s friends, family, boss, etc.

My mother-in-law sent thousands of dollars for years to a fake UN official.

It’s a mitzvah indeed!

Have also heard of adult children installing Pi-holes in their parents’ houses to stop them from visiting Qanon hotbeds.

ChrisLicht@lemm.ee · 3 years

Make a Pi-hole for friends/family, unless you want to build discrete hardware projects that don’t need a fast CPU. My 17-year-old niece is doing breadboard projects on this gen of Pi.

How about forcing France and the other western powers who repeatedly pillaged and extorted Haiti to disgorge the hundreds of billions in value they effectively stole from Haiti?

And, while they are at it, how about making them re-green that end of Hispaniola?

It’s interesting how blithely people consign an immortal super-intelligent being to ostensibly millennia of consciousness, while entombed.

I’m no hippie, but I would probably prefer to be touched by the snail than know I had tortured another intelligent being for many lifetimes.

FWIW, this free app solves for that issue well; I have several clammed Macs running it right now:

Only game I ever lol’d at was Psychonauts.
