Hey all, first off, I'm extremely new to all of this. I just setup my FreeNAS system a couple days ago and I got everything running just fine for what I needed, PLEX, qbittorent, and network storage access work absolutely fine. I've come across one thing that is driving me crazy, and certainly over my head. I am trying to run a minecraft server on this machine through MineOS (Which I am aware is an unofficial plugin) and can absolutely not get it to do what I want, or configure my network to do what I want. I'll start with the simple premise of what I want to do.
Goal:
Host a minecraft server for around 10 players that are OUTSIDE of my network
Steps I have taken:
DDNS/Domain for my external IP so I have constant or static domain
Port forwarding of the port that players will connect through (25565)
DDNS setup on my router & FreeNAS service
Static IP setup on FreeNAS
My issue:
When I setup the static IP on FreeNAS, obviously the plugins with DHCP enabled broke, so I reconfigured these too also have a static IP, and they work flawlessly. However, with MineOS the plugin works a bit differently than PLEX and qbittorent. It had different preconfigured options, it doesn't run off of DHCP, it runs off NAT, which I don't understand. From my deductions, so correct me if I'm wrong, but MineOS runs off the set IP of FreeNAS (They share the same IP), however MineOS is routed through a different port. So now that my static IP is setup on FreeNAS, MineOS refuses to boot. Trying to configure the plugin's options to be the same as PLEX or qbittorrent doesn't work (I don't understand why, but I get why if that makes sense, they are different.). So now I'm just sort of stuck at what to do. I am assuming that all I need is to port forward my FreeNAS internal IP to the port of 25565, enable DDNS, start up the server and people should be able to connect. The only thing stopping me is MineOS won't start. Let me know what information I need to provide and I absolutely can. Any and all help is appreciated, I thought this would be the simplest thing in my setup but it has easily become the most complicated.
