You don't describe your network topology or your use case that might require using a firewall on OMV. Are you sure you need to do this?
OMV has a firewall plugin. Installing UFW may cause problems. In general, OMV takes control of some debian settings. Changing config files outside of OMV can break it, and the next time updates are applied in OMV, the custom edits will get overwritten.
The general recommendations are to not change stuff outside of the OMV GUI.
When you say use the debian OS in the background, what are you talking about exactly?
If you need to do something like that, the general recommendation is use the KVM plugin to run a VM or LXC for any general linux stuff you need to do, as they are not governed by the OMV settings.

Sorry, I'm wanting to run a Minecraft server on the base Debian OS basically so was just wondering about that.
If not is there a way to open ports for services on the same machine but not run through OMV?
How do you know that the required ports are not already open and listening? Is there some reason you can't run Minecraft in a docker?

I have 1.8TB on the Debian side and have no idea what I should be doing with it. Don't think I can add it as a share as it consists of 2 600gb drives in RAID 0. Just trying to figure out what I can do with this left over unused space really.

First, I would caution against running a RAID 0. If yone drive dies, you loose everything. Safer to run a RAID 1 but you loose half the storage that way. RAID 0 may work ok if you have a data backup.
That said, as docker server as mentioned by gderf or a VM as I mentioned are the better ways to do as you want without breaking OMV.
For a VM or LXC, just install the kvm plugin from omv-extras and you are off to the races. For a docker server, use the compose plugin from omv-extras.
Either way you will be isolating the minecraft server from OMV so as not to break it.

I've only got the Debian/OMV OS running from the Raid 0 currently. With the rest being a different RAID config which is 5 iirc.
Would I be able to use the other RAID drive that's the 2TB?

Using docker or a VM/LXC, yes as they can be directed to use something other than the os drive.
