Ready to turn your fresh Unraid box into a fully-automated media server? In Part 3 of Zero to Hero we build the ultimate Docker media stack step-by-step: reverse proxy, media automation apps, and Plex — set up right the first time.

What you’ll learn today:
✅ Switch Docker data-root to “directory” on cache (safer, faster)
✅ Create a custom Docker network (docker network create ibranet) so apps talk by name, not IP
✅ Deploy Nginx Proxy Manager and choose Cloudflare Tunnels vs port forwarding
✅ Install & harden Sonarr and Radarr (auth on, clean templates, no VPN vars)
✅ Add Overseerr (request portal) and order your stack for clean start/stop
✅ Set up Plex: RAM transcoding with /dev/shm, Intel Quick Sync (/dev/dri), claim token on bridge
✅ Folder mapping that matches TRaSH-Guides so everything just works

Security & notes:
• Prefer tunnels over open ports. If you must forward, lock it down.
• Always enable app authentication.
• This series covers organising media you own.
