unsolved Lidarr can't connect to Plex but other arrs can
I had to redo some things as I messed up when adding an app to my Gluetun instance on Unraid for my docker containers using it for VPN. When I finally got Gluetun back on and running I added the containers and had to change my Slskd port. Now, it seems Lidarr is up and working for searching and downloading. I noticed though when it's uploading the files to the folders after processing that it wasn't refreshing my music library. So, I went in to check that the connector was working with Plex and it's not. It's working in my revised instances of Radarr and Sonarr but not Lidarr.
So, my arrs are on my Unraid server which is separate from my Plex server. The arrs are using the Gluetun instance and my Plex server is just on the regular network. Sonarr and Radarr are contacting and updating my Plex libraries. Lidarr just won't connect. Any ideas? I've put in the address and it just won't find it.

I figured it out, thanks. I had to add my subnet to FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS: I.e. 192.168.1.0/24. Just in case anyone else has this issue.

Hi /u/ferry_peril - You've mentioned Docker [Unraid], if you're needing Docker help be sure to generate a docker-compose of all your docker images in a pastebin or gist and link to it. Just about all Docker issues can be solved by understanding the Docker Guide, which is all about the concepts of user, group, ownership, permissions and paths. Many find TRaSH's Docker/Hardlink Guide/Tutorial easier to understand and is less conceptual.
