    I am running a Plex server as an OMV container. I have tried to port forward and when I check the port, it is open, but I cannot connect externally.

      @Tzushca Is there a firewall on the Plex server and does it allow connections from any IP address? (not just the local network)

      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

        @SteveITS As far as I know, there is no firewall. I used to run the plex server as a portainer container with no issues. After an upgrade on my server I decided to go with the new integrated compose function inside the OMV.
