Issues with lxc bind mount

Hi there,

I have been trying for a couple days to give bind mounts to an unprivileged LXC. I'd like to have write access to an NFS share mounted on the host on /mnt/pve/paperless.

On first instance I had write access using:

Code:
lxc.idmap: u 0 0 1
lxc.idmap: u 1 100000 65535
lxc.idmap: g 0 0 1
lxc.idmap: g 1 100000 65535

However, I'd like to map the uid/guid 1005 in the container so that I can map my paperless instance to that user and everything works fine. To do that, I've changed my lxc.conf to map that uid/guid as the wiki explains:

Code:
memory: 4096
mp0: /virtualization_hosts/docker_data,mp=/docker
mp1: /mnt/pve/paperless,mp=/paperless-storage,replicate=0
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,hwaddr=32:D2:40:13:7C:16,ip=dhcp,type=veth
onboot: 1
ostype: debian
rootfs: local:501/vm-501-disk-0.raw,size=16G
swap: 512
tags: proxmox-helper-scripts
unprivileged: 1
lxc.idmap: u 0 100000 1005
lxc.idmap: g 0 100000 1005
lxc.idmap: u 1005 1005 1
lxc.idmap: g 1005 1005 1
lxc.idmap: u 1006 101006 64530
lxc.idmap: g 1006 101006 64530

I've added:

Code:
echo "root:1005:1" >> /etc/subuid
echo "root:1005:1" >> /etc/subgid

And run chmod -R 1005:1005 /virtualization-hosts/docker

However, there seems to be something wrong as when I SSH into the container I get the following error: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied. I cannot run docker compose as I get:

Error loading config file: /root/.docker/config.json: open /root/.docker/config.json: permission denied

If I run: ls -lhn /docker/ all seems to be correctly mapped:

Code:
drwx------ 3 1005 1005   3 Oct  5 12:09 config
-rw-r--r-- 1 1005 1005 172 Oct 10 23:42 docker-compose.yml
drwx------ 2 1005 1005   2 Oct  5 12:09 images
drwx------ 8 1005 1005  10 Oct 11 12:48 paperless
drwx------ 3 1005 1005   4 Oct  5 17:56 portainer
drwx------ 3 1005 1005   3 Oct  5 12:09 runtime
drwx------ 2 1005 1005   2 Oct  5 12:09 scripts
drwx------ 2 1005 1005   2 Oct  5 12:09 secrets
drwx------ 3 1005 1005   5 Oct 10 23:42 traefikv2


What am I missing? If I go back to the first mapping all works fine.
