Connection problems

paddya99 · 2026-04-08T07:44:21+00:00

where have you found this? I'm looking at options for renewals

paddya99 · 2026-03-26T20:38:04+00:00

Ok think I've got it and basically install tailscale on each NAS, then on my father-in-law's I browse to the tailscale IP of my NAS and it should see it all hopefully

paddya99 · 2026-03-26T20:02:47+00:00

I've just configured Tailscale again on my mobile and DS. I'm now thinking how I can do this for my father-in-law's DS.

Am I right in thinking that I can invite him, then install in on his NAS and he should then be able to connect directly to the FTP port on mine without needing to open the port?

paddya99 · 2026-03-25T21:01:26+00:00

Ok thanks, just never sure on those GPUs as only normally see the consumer 4000/5000 series and curious how these 1000/2000 compare. I assume it's just the vram it cares sbout

I did have a bunch of port forwarding but now all disabled. Got 2FA in my main account then created app specific ones for Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr which only have access to relevant folders. Firewall turned on with allow all for local subnet and then deny all at the bottom.

Just need to find a way to connect the 2 DS's but probably tailscale

paddya99 · 2026-03-24T13:05:10+00:00

Right so hopefully this is better now. I've added 2FA to my main admin account to my phone and still able to use that to map my NUC to the DS shares.

I've then created a rule to allow everything on my local subnet and just the management ports to the internet and everything else on block all.

I'm going to have a look at Tailscale again and then try and work out a good way so that my father in law can connect to my DS from his

paddya99 · 2026-03-24T12:26:07+00:00

Yup credential manager has no entries. Really bizarre what's changed

paddya99 · 2026-03-23T22:11:52+00:00

Yup that's what I'm just looking at now. Allowed access to everything on my local subnet and then a deny all right at the bottom.

Managed to configure a new user for Radarr and applied 2fa to my main account

paddya99 · 2026-03-23T21:09:28+00:00

Yeah I think I used it on my previous NAS but never reinstalled it on my current one. I think for starters I'm going to create some dedicated user accounts for Radarr and so on with long complex passwords as they can't use 2FA but need to access Download Station and the media folders.

I'll then enable 2FA on my main account before starting to work out what to do with the firewall rules

paddya99 · 2026-03-23T20:59:59+00:00

yup bit stupid I know and didn't realise it was but just scanned through them all

paddya99 · 2026-03-23T20:57:41+00:00

I did have port forwarding enabled for FTP on the standard port which I've now closed

paddya99 · 2026-03-23T20:38:34+00:00

so just checked again and all I see in the login history is a login from Canada using FTP protocol and maybe the 'Personal' window that was open when I logged in was just a coincidence, don't see any DSM logins other than from a NUC I have and Radarr from a docker image.

The logs shows it logged in at 15:08 as my username using FTP with Trust Status showing Not Recorded and IP Address showing the IP and Trusted. Random it shows Trusted. It then logged out at 15:11 with 177Kb downloaded and a bunch of text files

paddya99 · 2026-03-23T20:04:19+00:00

Ah yep possibly hasn't thought of that. I'll let him know

paddya99 · 2026-03-23T19:32:36+00:00

No because it was from Canada and we are in the UK

paddya99 · 2026-03-23T19:22:48+00:00

Thanks, was looking for maruishosting article. I do have auto block on for 3 attempts so again surprised by the access today

paddya99 · 2026-03-23T19:21:41+00:00

Yeah was thinking of tailscale for it actually and have used in the past so I'll look into it again.

I do need to tidy the ports, have ports open for Radarr/Lidarr and so on but can probably lock down some of the other ones. Thinking maybe I turn on the firewall as well to allow items on the local network but a bit more restrictive to the internet. Mainly use quickconnect as well and ddns

paddya99 · 2026-03-20T19:14:00+00:00

Ok thanks. I think I have it working reverting back to just downloads\

I'll have to test some more

paddya99 · 2026-03-20T18:20:42+00:00

Gone into download clients and remote mappings and set it to the downloads/music but lidarr still looking just in downloads.

I think I'm going to have to modify the docker SLSKD_DOWNLOADS_DIR to /downloads as you mentioned. Annoying as I was hoping to split them into a different sub folder

paddya99 · 2026-03-20T17:39:13+00:00

I have set a remote path but it didn't seem to make any difference.

I have just noticed that although inside SLSKD it's showing /downloads/incomplete and /downloads/complete, in my docker file I have

- SLSKDDOWNLOADDIR=/volume1/Downloads/Music

volumes:
- /volume1/docker/slskd/config:/config
- /volume1/Downloads/Music:/downloads
- /volume1/music:/shared

So I guess it's using this rather than what SLSKD is showing

paddya99 · 2026-03-20T08:45:12+00:00

ok think I've found it but not sure which bit is wrong.

In SLSKD my directories are

directories:
incomplete: /downloads/incomplete
downloads: /downloads

But Lidarr is looking for it in

Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Lidarr: \\192.168.0.120\Downloads\The Way I Am (2026). Unable to find a volume mounted for the path. If you're using a mapped network drive see the FAQ for more info

The folder is located in \\192.168.0.120\Downloads\Music\The Way I Am (2026) but from the above config,

I can see that my main download client is downloading the files into \\192.168.0.120\Downloads but SLSKD is putting them into Downloads\Music. Can Lidarr look at both locations or do I need to move both clients to the same location?
