FreeIPA and unprivileged containers

Hi,

I'm toying with unprivileged containers in order to be able to use Docker inside them. This seems to work, but it break my FreeIPA setup.

My Proxmox host is joined to FreeIPA, and my provisioning procedure for containers also joins them to FreeIPA.

This means that my user is in a very high UID range, starting at 1284000000 (limit 200000 uids, but they are assigned sequentially, so my admin user is 1284000000, I'm 1284000001, etc. gids are similar.

This breaks on an unprivileged container as:

Code:
alex@h2:~$ cat /etc/subuid
root:100000:65536
alex@h2:~$ cat /etc/subgid
root:100000:65536

Can I change this safely to fix things? Will this affect existing containers or my host which is also using high UIDs?

Cheers,

Álex
