Help with UID/GID Mapping Between CTs

[Pragma808]

I'm having some trouble mapping the UID/GIDs between two LXC containers: plex and deluge.

Here are the configs:

Plex CT:

# UID mapping, plex uid is 998
lxc.idmap: u 0 100000 998
lxc.idmap: u 998 1234 1
lxc.idmap: u 999 100999 63536
# GID mapping, plex gid is 998
lxc.idmap: g 0 100000 998
lxc.idmap: g 998 1234 1
lxc.idmap: g 999 100999 63536

Deluge CT:

# UID mapping, deluge uid is 998
lxc.idmap: u 0 100000 109
lxc.idmap: u 109 1234 1
lxc.idmap: u 110 100110 64425
# GID mapping, deluge gid is 1000
lxc.idmap: g 0 100000 1000
lxc.idmap: g 1000 1234 1
lxc.idmap: g 1001 101001 63534

/etc/subuid

root:100000:65536
root:1234:1

/etc/subgid

root:100000:65536
root:1234:1

I'm able to start the containers, but the applications themselves fail to start their systemd processes.

root@plex-test:~# systemctl status plexmediaserver.service

I suspect I do not fully grasp what the mapping entries I've added to configs are doing. My goal is for files that are created by deluged to be accessible in plex without having to chmod/chown the files every time.

Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you!

Friendly bump.
