Is there any guide to follow because I tried port forward and it didn't work.
 
Hey @varkey I did a setup with my old system just to check the stuff before investing anything.

1. Plex Server doesn't start because it ask for the password (Windows 10 Login). What you do in that case?

2. Did you mount your NUC SSD/HDD on your primary system?
 
@varkey I'm not familiar with Ubuntu. Do you know how can I mount the HDD of Ubuntu on Windows 8.1?

Ubuntu OS is on SSD.

I am going to use HDD for the Plex's Library.

Something like this:

This is map network drive of windows.

That's from the ISP's side.

I meant double NATs on your side. For example my ISP Spectra, gives a NAT'd private IP address, but they do support NAT-PMP or some other mechanism to enable port-forwards even when there is a NAT involved on the ISP side (only for non-common ports and/or those above 10k or so, but that's enough for me)

Public IP --> Internal ISP WAN IP --> Internal customer device

The public IP --> Internal ISP WAN IP port forwards happen transparently, I don't know how Spectra does it, but it just happens automatically.

You need to install Samba and configure it on Ubuntu so that you can access the share over CIFS/SMB. I suppose you are referring to accessing it over the network.

Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things.
