How I use Unraid to Host Dedicated Game Servers Current Roles my Server FulfillsĪt the time of writing my server does the following things. One last note, generally you should never “put all your eggs in one basket” meaning, it probably is not the best idea in the world to backup all your data to your Unraid server then expose more and more ports to the containers or virtual machines because these will broaden your vulnerability vectors. Personally, I feel safe enough to port forward directly to containers and virtual machines and do not currently use reverse proxy, one day I might but for now I think it’s fine. You can read more about both with the two links below: Security is a deep rabbit hole with many caveats, if you feel the need to be as secure as possible then you will need to do more leg work to get things “done right”.
It is relatively safe to port forward to specific containers and virtual machines hosted by Unraid, however, if you at all plan on sharing your game servers with strangers you should highly consider setting up reverse proxy for extra protection and other features. This will open up your server to attacks from folks on the world wide web. You should know, that you should never port forward the ports 80 and 443 to your Unraid host (the Unraid webUI). Well, why not use those extra resources to host some dedicated game servers for yourself and your friends or family? Heads Up
Or maybe you overbuilt your server and want to do more with it. It turns out you have some extra resources than you expected from your Unraid NAS build.
