      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)

        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 reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk 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.
