Proxmox bind mounts are a nightmare for user permissions - eviltoast

Hi, I need help to understand what I am doing wrong with my setup.

I am running a proxmox node (pve) where I have mounted my nfs storage (containing backups from my old server) on the host and assigning them to containers using pct set command.

On Host:I am setting the user permissions to the mounted folder so that the user from lxc can rw to it and the sub-folders(or atleast I thought it would be possible).

On Unpreviledged LXC:The mount is recognized and is accessible with the correct user permissions to rw

The docker container created inside the lxc is unable to read/write to this storage even though they are assigned to the correct user id 1000. The docker setup is logging errors and won’t start up.

Appreciate the help!

    So I don’t use docker. But. Could you set up an lxc container running samba and then bind mount the shares to that container. Then mount those shares inside docker running on the other lxc container?

      That sounds a bit too convoluted for my needs. Even if it works, I am not sure if I will be able to maintain such a setup. But thanks for your inputs.
