I'm gonna setup a new Linux Channels DVR server. I'm going to use Ubuntu server. Can I use UFW with Channels DVR server? If so, any particular settings for it?

I'll try that when I set it up and close this when I do. Great support as always. Thanks tmm1.
I have my server setup and I'm accessing it via RDP. I mounted the external drive. I'm using the drive I had previously setup with my Raspberry Pi. I deleted the partitions for the server. It just has the data partition now. I added the mount to fstab. I tried giving the Channels server read/write permissions for the drive. I get the error Operation not permitted when it tries to change ownership of the files. Would you be able to help me with this? I'm not a linux guru. I thought I would just be able to use my drive without having to reformat and copy back over the data.
The drive is formatted exFAT which doesn't have the ability to set permissions. You probably need to set some mount options but I am not sure.
Thanks for the info. I was just going by what I came across about mounting the drive. Hopefully I can see the drive when I click on Restore. I couldn't before even though the drive showed when I ran the lsblk.
Ok, I still can't see the drive when I click to Restore. I just can see the local server drive. Do you know how I can access the external drive? The drive shows in terminal.
Hi again. Am I missing something? Should I be able to see the external drive when I click Restore on the web interface to setup my DVR? I think I have it mounted correct. See fstab below. Any assitance you could offer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response. Do you think I need to reformat the drive and the copy back over the files? It is the same drive I was using with the Raspberry Pi server. I thought I might could get away with just plugging it in to the new server. I thought maybe another user with significant Linux experience might chime in.
I've got it. I didn't notice a folder titled mnt. I clicked on that and am able to access the database. Now to know which one is the latest. I saw another post about that issue that I need to go back to. Thanks again for the great DVR and support. Log live Channels.
Spoke to soon. I'm getting the below error message when trying to select Enable DVR. I assume I have to do something different for mounting an exfat drive. I'll have to look into that. Any ideas?
